Psalm 139:17-18 kJV

• How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
• [If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

Welcome y’all! This is just a fun thread to share your favorite verse, tell us anything interesting you read in your Bible, anything that really stood out to you, what devotional you use, and anything else Bible-wise! Everyone please be respectful and encouraging. I will lock this thread or report it if necessary. With that out of the way, everyone post away!

Philippians 4:4-9 NIV
"4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! [5] Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. [6] Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. [7] And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. [8] Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable---if anything is excellent or praiseworthy---think about such things. [9] 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you."

I love this very practical passage Paul wrote...a great guide as to how to go through the day.

1 John 3: 4
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians [are] alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
Unto the pure all things [are] pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Titus 1: 9-16

James 5:12 kJV
But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and [your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

Matthew 5:33-37 kJV

• Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
• But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
• Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
• Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
• But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

1 Peter 3:8-22 kJV

• Finally, [be ye] all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, [be] pitiful, [be] courteous:
• Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
• For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
• Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
• For the eyes of the Lord [are] over the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord [is] against them that do evil.
• And who [is] he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
• But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy [are ye]: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
• But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
• Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
• For [it is] better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
• For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
• By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
• Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
• The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
• Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
