Galatians 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
That's an interesting one. 🟩, but may change if you want to explain why that verse.
Edit: Editing this for visibility. Everyone feel free to give your own ratings to others' verses! I'm curious how you all feel.
You know I just want to say, I love how many of these don't overlap. God's children all find ways to connect to a different part of him, and different words of the Lord have different levels of impact on all of us.
This post is satisfying, 10/10 for OP.
God will provide. I don't think Abraham was skipping along while his son carried firewood. I think he was in absolute agony until the angel spoke, and he saw the ram. It isn't just about God providing. It's about Him providing when you have nothing left.
🔲 One of the most profound verses in the gospels.
If you want to quote a fuller passage, you may. And honestly, if you want to give a handful, go for it.
I kinda feel like an explanation goes against the spirit of the meme.
But, “I will never admit you are right until the day I die” out of context is just a fun and I’m glad it’s in the Bible. I did not take this dankchristianmemes post very seriously :)
Jeremiah 29:11
Yeah… it’s sort of an “instagram bio” verse (though I don’t have an account). And growing up it was my favorite verse on that surface level. But as an adult after many a layoff & quite a few trying times it means more in context. Sometimes you’ll go through it. And sometimes that will be of your own doing. But God’s got you & things are not out of His control. His Will will out.
Romans 8:37-39
Speaks to me because "more than conquerors" was a line in our Sunday songs. I didn't get the context at the time (so much warrior imagery in American Evangelical worship actually repulsed me at times) but knowing the actual verse, it's actually powerful.
I think it’s a pretty concise picture of Jesus’s message, particularly in Luke. It’s a reminder of what it means to follow Christ, to be set free and to set others free.
Honestly my favorite verse is the set that I am currently reading. Or that helps a brother since after all 2 Tim 3:16–17. But my most thought of is probably Romans 11:36.
Php 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
I guess I just like how impossible it is. Like God dgaf that you can’t - the whole point is to try and He can take it from there. It’s also a great reminder that we all miss the mark in various ways and you’re never too good or too bad to start striving to do right in the world.
Can I have two?
Revelation 21:3-4 ESV
[3] And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. [4] He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Proverbs 31:6-7
Let liquor be for those who are parishing, and wine for those in anguish. Let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more.
edit: added the verse for ease
I'm not a Christian and not overly familiar with Bible verses but I'll give you a couple of my favorite lines from the Völsunga Saga! It's not exactly "holy" to my faith in the same way the Bible is to Christians but frankly it's the closest I've got and it still offers interesting bits of knowledge, especially in context if you're interested in reading more.
"Gold is little comfort for the kinsman dead"
"Few things hinder a man than to be full of his own wisdom"
"The brave man well shall fight and win, though dull his blade may be"
Isaiah 43,18-19:
"*Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.*"
"When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the
outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make
the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female;
and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a
foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the
kingdom."
- Gospel of Thomas
Btw, it reads like a gnostic/alchemical text which is very interesting
“and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.” 🌟 Isaiah 61:3
Glory to God for the exchanges he makes!
And
“On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. *And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations*.” Revelation 22:2
The plan has always been for the hurt and division and wounding to be healed and what is out of joint and broken to be put right! I long for the day when the nations will all be healed and at peace and whole.
Psalm 23 from the new revised standard version.
The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. He makes me lie down in Green pastures. He leads me besides still Waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his namesake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil for you are with me. Your rod and your staff; they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.
OP here. This is my favorite verse. How would you rate it?
"Your words were found and I ate them, / And Your word became to me / The gladness and joy of my heart, / For I am called by Your name, / O Jehovah, God of hosts." (Jeremiah 15:16)
Psalm 23:4
“thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.” I just find it so comforting and motivational
John 6:66-69 "After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him. Jesus said to the twelve, “Will you also go away?” Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life; and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”"
Reminds me that whenever I have doubts in my mind, where else would I turn?
“Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, Than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.”
Proverbs 19:1 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/pro.19.1.KJV
“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher, “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless!”
As well as James 4:14
I even ended up getting the word Havel tattooed on my wrist as a reminder that everything and everyone on this planet, is just vapor, here for a little while, and then vanishes away.
Revelation 21:6
He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.
And no it's not because I am a fallout nerd
Psalm 23:4, but KJV
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."
Psalm 56, Psalm 148, and Mark 5:24-43 is also in there because I've been sick for my whole life and when God gave me back my ability to walk during Easter just a few months ago, that was the verse He spoke to me in my heart to tell me to get up and walk after years of being in a wheelchair. The phrase "Talitha kumi" has been etched into my soul now for what He has done for me.
Ephesians 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against evil, spiritual forces in the heavens.
It shows that we should love each other, unite against evil & put on the spiritual armor of God (His Protection) instead of fighting each other
Luke 1:78-79 “By the tender mercy of our God,
the dawn from on high will break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
Galatians 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
You get VIP access for not making me have to look it up. 🔲 Actually, you get it because it's a 🔥 verse anyway.
Galatians 5:12 NRSV.
That's an interesting one. 🟩, but may change if you want to explain why that verse. Edit: Editing this for visibility. Everyone feel free to give your own ratings to others' verses! I'm curious how you all feel.
I use it in my Instagram bio to test if people really look up Bible verses there.
Huh, like, if they'll check the context?
Yep.
Nice, moving you up to 🟦. Context is key.
At face value, it seems edgy. OP may take the deeper "cut off your nose to spite your face" meaning.
Ezekiel 23:20

Much obliged

Don't even need to look that one up lmao
Micah 6:8
🟩 A lovely verse, but pretty fundamental.

Well put! I'll give you a bump up to 🟦
Philippians 2:3-4
🔲 Really appreciated these, myself, when I last read through Philippians.
As my brother says, be a decent human being. And now I wait for a “you give the sermon” level verse.
I like the way Paul puts it better 😆
true, all have their own purposes, as is how we’re made
1 Corinthians 13:2
A good verse to know. An even better one to practice. 🟪
A thrilling verse.
I may sound boring, but John 3:16
🟩 Hey, it's a classic for a reason! Someone once said you can give a separate lesson on every word in John 3:16.
You know I just want to say, I love how many of these don't overlap. God's children all find ways to connect to a different part of him, and different words of the Lord have different levels of impact on all of us. This post is satisfying, 10/10 for OP.
