wow there are so many, hard to pick just one....for the self-sufficiency theme, I like this one:
This is what the Lord says:
Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.
And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
Romans 13:11-12 NIV
Revelation 15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
“because the life of every creature is it’s blood. That is why I have said to the Israelites, “you must not eat the blood of any creature because the life of every creature is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off.”
"And He will destroy in this mountain (the kingdom of God) the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil (of ignorance and blindness) that is spread over all nations. And He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord shall wipe away tears from off all faces. And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in HIS SALVATION" (Isa. 25:7-9)
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
The one about how it would be better for a person who has harmed children to have a mill stone tied around his neck and then cast into the sea. Pedophiles begone!
Some verses from 1 Cor. 13 are great!
6 - "rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth"
10 - "But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away."
11 - "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when i became a man, I put away childish things."
But the best one imo is:
12 - "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but the shall I know even as also I am known." (KJV)
or "For now, we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known." (NKJV)
I like this one because it essentially means that though we can't see everything clearly right now, we will. It is a promise that we can be sure will to come to pass since, just like with the Plan, NCSWIC!!!
1 Chron 29:11 "“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth;
Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all.”
Ephesians 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
John 8:32
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
King James Version (KJV)
excellent choice
Classic.
Exodus 8:4
The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.
Pepe onslaught.
This should be on T-shirts and a Navy Seals icon.
John 1:5
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
“Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.” - Ephesians 5:6
I wish the new-agers here would grasp that.
But they do it with impressive formatting... Paul should have wrote "vain words with impressive formatting" and it would've made it easier to spot.
deception with vain words describes our entire epoch.

how could i forget about Q posting Paul's discourse on the armor of God?!
1 Corinthians 15:25
"For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet."
bc this is how it ends ultimately.
Just for today for me
Revelation 15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
Leviticus 17:14
“because the life of every creature is it’s blood. That is why I have said to the Israelites, “you must not eat the blood of any creature because the life of every creature is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off.”
Great choice OP. I like the others in the comments too.
This is my vote (my favorite bible verse):

"And He will destroy in this mountain (the kingdom of God) the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil (of ignorance and blindness) that is spread over all nations.

Ephesians 4:29 is a nice general guideline:
Romans 12:2 Do not follow the ways of the world, but let your mind renewed so then you will see is good and perfect will for you.
NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER!

Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.
Isaiah 1: 17 NIV.
0 O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge
1 Chron 29:11 "“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all.”
The one about drowning people who interfere with children..
Ephesians 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
Thessalonians 5:6
so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober.
