  It is out of place, but it’s designed to pique human curiosity & get people to unwittingly Google Bible verses. Effortlessly spreading the gospel as they’re told to, fulfilling the Great Commission.

    If I was a troll, I’d start putting the weird ones on like Jeremiah 10:1-4 or Deuteronomy 22:9.

    You’re right, but I googled the wrong thing and googled John 4:16, which is “Jesus said ‘Go call your husband […]’” (It says more, but search cut it off there.)

    I had a solid guffaw because these boxes are for 2-way radios. Then I realized that I googled the wrong thing and lost interest in continued research.

      It’s actually
      "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. "

        This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

        This is actually 1 John 3:16 (from the letters of John). John 3:16 (from the gospel according to) is actually:

        For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

        (Arguably the most famous new testament quote besides “Jesus wept”.)
