Bible Chapters, Verses With Same Number -- #6 Quiz

Answer: Noah begins building an ark to survive a massive flood.

Genesis 6 tells of the wickedness of man and Noah receiving divine instructions to prepare an ark to survive a massive flood that would engulf the world. Chapter 7 goes on to tell of the massive flood and Chapter 8 tells of Noah's deliverance. According to Scripture, Moses and his unnamed wife and their three sons and their three wives survived the flood by taking refuge on the ark. On top of all this, two of every kind of animal and bird survived the flood by taking refuge on the ark.

Answer: Exodus 25:25

Exodus 25:25 is the correct answer. The chapter contains detailed information for construction of the Ark of the Testimony as well as for the table for the showbread and the gold lampstand. Exodus 26 goes on to give details information for the construction of the tabernacle.

Moses received the instructions from God while he was leading the Israelites on a forty-year-long journey out of Egypt to Canaan, known as the Promised Land.

Answer: Abihu and Nadab

The sons of Aaron in this case were Nadab and Abihu. By the time you get to Levticus 10:1-3 details are given about Nadab and Abihu being struck dead in a case of divine retribution. The passage states they were "devoured" by fire from the LORD because they offered "profane fire" with their censers in the tabernacle of meeting. Notes in the NIV Study Bible state that censers were "ceremonial vessels containing hot coals and used for burning incense."

Later, Eleazar and Ithamar, also sons of Aaron, would serve as priests in place of Nadab and Abihu.

Answer: Joshua

The verse is found in Joshua 24:24 and the statement was made to Joshua, the man who replaced Moses as leader of the Israelites. Chapter 25 of Joshua tells of Joshua gathering all the tribes of Israel at Shechem. As a result of the meeting, it was agreed the Israelites would turn away from worshipping foreign gods and serve only God.

In Verse 15, Joshua makes the famous declaration, "But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

Shortly after Joshua made his pronouncement, the people declared, "The LORD our God we will serve, and His voice we will obey!"

The chapter goes on to tell of the death of Joshua and Eleazar, the high priest.

Answer: Saul

The body of Saul suffered a number of indignities, as per 1 Chronicles 10. Scripture tells of the Philistines coming across Saul's body after they had defeated the Israelites in a bloody battle at Mount Gilboa. Saul had been severely wounded in battle and committed suicide so he would not be taken alive by the Philistines.

When enemy soldiers came across the body of Saul, 1 Chronicles 10:10 tells of the them taking his armor and putting it in the temple of their gods and then fastening his head in the temple of Dagon.

Answer: Philippi

Philippi is the correct answer. Scripture tells of Paul driving out a "spirit of divination" from the slave girl after she followed him for days proclaiming, "These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation." However, when Paul drove the spirit out of the girl, she lost her ability to tell fortunes and her owners became infuriated as they had lost a major source of income.

Scripture tells of the girl's masters seizing Paul and Silas and dragging them into the marketplace to the authorities. Then things turned ugly when a multitude stripped Paul and Silas before severely beating them. Later Paul and Silas would be thrown into prison with their feet put in stocks. Miraculously, an earthquake would strike, causing all the prison doors to open and enabling the prisoners to escape. Paul and Silas, however, stayed behind and seized the opportunity to convert the Philippian jailer to Christianity.

Incidentally, Philippi was the same community in which Paul converted Lydia, a seller of purple cloth, to Christianity.

Answer: Paul

Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, is the author of Romans. Paul is credited with writing thirteen books in the New Testament and in the order of appearance Romans is the first. Or as the NKJV Study Bible states, Romans serves as "the flagship of the fleet of the Pauline letters in the New Testament."

While kissing one another is not a norm in today's western world, many Christians emphasize the importance of shaking each other's hands when they meet at worship services and Bible studies.

Answer: The Love Chapter

1 Corinthians 13 is is affectionately known as the Love Chapter by tens of millions of Christians around the world. The famous chapter consists of thirteen verses and featured in the question is the final verse of the chapter.

The chapter is often read at weddings and even at funerals. In fact, former British prime minister Tony Blair read the Love Chapter at Princess Diana's funeral in 1997.

Verses 4-7 from the NKJV give an example of the chapter's message: "Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

Answer: Hebrews 11:11

The verse regarding Sarah and her faith is found in Hebrews 11:11. Chapter 11 of Hebrews is known as the Faith Chapter as a number of people are commended for their faith. Some of the people praised for their faith are Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Samuel and even Rahab the prostitute.

I like the way Hebrews 1:1 in the NIV kicks off the chapter. The verse states, "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."

Answer: The 'dead church' at Sardis

The warning contained in Revelation 3:3 is addressed to the church at Sardis, known as the 'dead church' in the NKJV. Revelation 2 and 3 tell of seven letters written to seven different churches. In Biblical times, Sardis was the capital of of Lydia, an important city in Asia Minor. Today, the ancient city is found in Manisa province in western Turkey.

Revelation, the last book of the New Testament, was written by John while in exile on the windswept island of Patmos in the Aegean Sea.
