1 Thessalonians 5:16-"Be joyful always"

Makes sense to me

'Bout time someone posted something succinct from the good book.

Gold, there.

Test the spirits BigG (Acts 17:11).

The shortest verse in the Greek New Testament is Luke 20:30 ("και ο δευτερος") translated "And the second" with twelve letters, according to the Westcott and Hort text. In the Textus Receptus  (The German Luther Bible), the shortest verse (not the second shortest) is 1 Thessalonians 5:16 ("παντοτε χαιρετε") "Rejoice always" with fourteen letters. Isaiah 10:8 ("Dicet enim"
1 John 2:22, 2 Timothy 3:1-9

Good for you. My son is all soccer/track/cc and daughter is 100% gymnastics. I'm out of my cult-zone.
