I was just wondering what was everyone's favorite bible verses? I want to paint a verse on my bedroom wall and I am undecided which one I should pick so I am creating this thread in the hope that one of the verses mentioned "speaks to me" and that's the one that will make it to my wall.
I thought about it and picked this for you. The Beatitudes. I know its probably too long, but...
Matthew 5:3-12
[SUP]3 [/SUP]“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. [SUP]12 [/SUP]Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
