Answer: Romans 6:23
Romans 3:23 is another favorite verse. It says "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." This verse reminds me that I am a sinner. Romans 6:23 reminds me of the penalty I should get for my sins, but the way out of that penalty is through Jesus Christ. Paul was saying this to the Romans to remind them that they were sinners, not one of them was perfect.

Answer: Genesis
'In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.'
The original Hebrew title of Genesis, Bereshith, means 'in the beginning'. Later, around the third century BC, the Hebrew Bible was translated to Greek. In Greek, Genesis means 'birth', 'origin' or 'source'. It is the first book of the Christian Bible and of the Jewish Torah.
The book begins with an account of creation and includes many popular Bible stories: for example, the stories of Cain and Abel, Abraham and Sarah, Sodom and Gomorrah, Noah and the Ark and many others. The patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are introduced in this book. Genesis concludes with the death of Joseph.

Answer: John
John 3:16 is one of the best known verses in the Bible.
In one of the most memorable sermons I have heard on this verse, the pastor requested that each person replace the generic terms with that person's name -- "For God so loved ALEX that he gave his one and only Son, that if ALEX believes in him, ALEX shall not perish but have eternal life." This makes the verse much more personal.
