As a matter of interest: why do you use the King James Version? Surely it is the least accurate translation available? Do you like the style of English? Why doesn't somebody do a modern (more accurate) translation but in Old English?

Genesis 15 (21st Century King James Version)
Genesis 15
1After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, "Fear not, Abram. I am thy shield and thy exceeding great reward."

My favorite verse

I like KJV and NKJV because it was translated word for word.
I like the NIV because it was translated thought for thought.

All my life I have used the NIV, but recently have been reading from the NKJV.

It's just personal preference.

I John 1:9
If we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

For believers, that's an oft-recited one.

Daniel 3:16-18 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, "O Nebuchadnessar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But IF NOT, be it known unto thee, O king, that we WILL NOT serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

All God asks us is to walk according to the way he tell us and let him handle the rest even if it costs us our very lives. This is what overcoming faith is all about.

"Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him.
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes." -Pro. 26:4-5

"But the serpent said to the woman, 'You will not die. For God knows that when you eat of [the fruit] your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.'" - Genesis 3:4-5

It is always a good idea when you are in a fix to have "a bad negro" by yo side. That's what I say. Scripture like that brings it all home.

Jer 9:23-24
23 Thus says the LORD: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches;
24 But let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight," says the LORD.
(NKJ)

Jer 33:2-3
2 "Thus says the LORD who made it, the LORD who formed it to establish it (the LORD is His name):
3 'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.'
(NKJ)

Ps 34:4-5
4 I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed.
(NKJ)

Ps 34:8
8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
(NKJ)

The pneuma where it wishes blows,
the sound of it you hear, but do not know
whence it comes nor where it goes—
for all who are born of the pneuma it is so.

I use the King James because it is the only inerrant English version.

In that case, I certainly hope you will be quoting from it in the sermon competition.
