No peanut gallary please just post a verse.
Acts 4:12 (King James Version)
12 "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we MUST be saved."
Acts 4:12 (New International Version)
12 "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we MUST be saved."

Job chapter 42
1 Then Job answered the LORD and said:
2 I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be hindered.
3 I have dealt with great things that I do not understand; things too wonderful for me, which I cannot know.
5 I had heard of you by word of mouth, but now my eye has seen you.
6 Therefore I disown what I have said, and repent in dust and ashes.
16 After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; and he saw his children, his grandchildren, and even his great-grandchildren.
17 Then Job died, old and full of years.

II Maccabees 12:38-46 (one verse doesn't suffice).
Nemesio
38: Then Judas assembled his army and went to the city of Adullam. As the seventh day was coming on, they purified themselves according to the custom, and they kept the sabbath there.
39: On the next day, as by that time it had become necessary, Judas and his men went to take up the bodies of the fallen and to bring them back to lie with their kinsmen in the sepulchres of their fathers.
40: Then under the tunic of every one of the dead they found sacred tokens of the idols of Jamnia, which the law forbids the Jews to wear. And it became clear to all that this was why these men had fallen.
41: So they all blessed the ways of the Lord, the righteous Judge, who reveals the things that are hidden;
42: and they turned to prayer, beseeching that the sin which had been committed might be wholly blotted out. And the noble Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves free from sin, for they had seen with their own eyes what had happened because of the sin of those who had fallen.
43: He also took up a collection, man by man, to the amount of two thousand drachmas of silver, and sent it to Jerusalem to provide for a sin offering. In doing this he acted very well and honorably, taking account of the resurrection.
44: For if he were not expecting that those who had fallen would rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead.
45: But if he was looking to the splendid reward that is laid up for those who fall asleep in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Therefore he made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin.
It's not immediately evident why these are your favourite Bible verses - unless you're pointing to Biblical evidence of Purgatory (which will get us into the whole Deuterocanonicals bit as well...)
Scribs: EDIT: Probably wasn't a system glitch, but the simple fact that Bible.com may not have the Deuterocanonicals. Use the RSV at http://etext.virginia.edu/rsv.browse.html

EDIT: OTOH, it does provide an external link to the NAB on the USCCB website, so there is a way to access 2 Maccabees off the Bible.com site after all!
