When I was hit by this verse, it was as if I'd been struck by a truck loaded with old growth. I didn't say none hit me prior, but few hit me anywhere near as hard.

This verse, and the the consequent death of Onan, provokes the imagination as profoundly as the case of Thomas Granger in the Plymouth Colony in early America.

There are probably enough thoughts on this account to justify a whole thread.

"Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death."

I'm okay then. I do it standing up with Flossie.

And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

Bloody kids.

I find these verses very moving.

21:15
So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

21:16
He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

21:17
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

21:18
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

21:19
This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

RB, I like your choice. That is a stunning verse in its profound simplicity, and it is a fine sentence in English.

Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have I will give to thee.

(Quoting from memory, I don't know what the verse is).

John 3:17 (New International Version)
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
