Philippians 2:5-8
[Bible Verses]A passage stating that Christ, though equal with God, "made himself of no reputation" (literally, "emptied himself"), took upon him the form of a servant, and became obedient unto death on the cross. It is the New Testament's most concentrated presentation of Christ's humiliation and became the starting point of the kenosis debate.
1 Peter 3:19–20
[Bible Verses]This passage states that Christ, by the Spirit, "preached unto the spirits in prison." Because it is unclear when Christ preached, to whom, and what he proclaimed, it is regarded as one of the most difficult texts in the New Testament to interpret. It is closely tied to discussion of the Apostles' Creed clause on Christ's descent into hell.
Revelation 13:16-18
[Bible Verses]In this passage the beast that rises out of the earth causes all people to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads, so that no one may buy or sell without the mark, and its number is given as six hundred threescore and six (666). The identity of the "mark of the beast" and of "666" has prompted countless speculations, and the passage becomes the subject of renewed controversy whenever a new technology appears.
Revelation 22:18–19
[Bible Verses]A warning that if any man shall add to or take away from the words of the prophecy of this book, God shall add to him the plagues written in it and take away his part out of the book of life. Although it originally concerns keeping the Book of Revelation itself intact, the passage is widely cited in support of the completeness of the whole Bible and the closure of the canon, and in refutation of claims to new revelation.
Matthew 26:26–28
[Bible Verses]Matthew 26:26–28 records the words Jesus spoke at the Last Supper when he broke bread and said, "Take, eat; this is my body," and then gave the cup, saying, "For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." These are the words of institution of the Lord's Supper, and no passage has divided the church more deeply over the meaning of Communion.
Job
[People]Job is the central figure of the Book of Job, a righteous man who lived in the land of Uz. Amid suffering that cost him his possessions, his children, and his health, he lamented and protested before God; after encountering God, he was restored.

Proverbs 19:21
[Bible Verses]A proverb stating that although a person may make many plans in the heart, it is the counsel of the LORD that will ultimately stand. It is frequently cited in discussions of the relationship between divine providence and human planning, and is often quoted at the start of a new year or before decisions about one's future.
Ezekiel 37:11–14
[Bible Verses]This passage interprets Ezekiel's vision of the "valley of dry bones." In it God promises to open the graves of exiled Israel, put His spirit within them, restore them to life, and bring them back to their homeland. The passage is frequently cited in discussions of restoration, resurrection, and new life in the Holy Spirit.
Romans 8:11
[Bible Verses]In this verse Paul says that, just as God raised Jesus from the dead, he will also give life to believers' "mortal bodies" through the Spirit who dwells in them. The verse is often cited because it ties the resurrection of the body to the Holy Spirit. Interpreters disagree over whether it refers to the future resurrection or to new life in the present.
Jerusalem

Haggai 2:4–5
[Bible Verses]Haggai 2:4–5 is a word of encouragement to the leaders and people who had returned from exile and had grown discouraged while rebuilding the temple, urging them to "be strong … and work" and to "fear ye not." Because it grounds this encouragement in God's presence and the Exodus covenant, it is frequently cited as a text of encouragement for church building projects and new ministries.
Valley of Hinnom
[Bible]The Valley of Hinnom is a valley to the south and west of Jerusalem. In the Old Testament it appears as a site of idolatrous worship in which children were burned as offerings. Its Greek name, Gehenna, became the New Testament term for "hell."
