My favourite verse
At any point in time, we perhaps have a Bible verse that is especially meaningful.
It's no good just translating God's word - it needs to be used! During September 2006 to December 2008, we ran a campaign to discover from people around the world what their 'favourite verse' of the Bible was, along with the reason why that verse is special to them.
There are many verses that God uses at different times to speak to us - verses of comfort, verses of hope, verses of encouragement, verses of instruction, verses of revelation, etc.
It may be helpful to think that in certain countries for many years, some people only had a few pages of the Bible. If you could only have one page, what would it be? On that page, what would be the one verse?

You may also like to view the Spring Edition of Wycliffe UK's "Words for Life" magazine, which presents the top 5 favourite verses as at December 2006, with comments from the people who sent them. It includes verses chosen by some well-known people in the UK, and stories of people overseas who have heard God speaking through a verse in their language. Their deepest needs—for love, encouragement, comfort, peace, wisdom—have been met through God's word.
