Bible Chain

[mathethes]

This is like what is being done at the Recreation Forums with the Word Association thread. In this Bible Chain, we post one-line verses that is similar to or sounds the same as a previous one. The procedure is the same as in Word Association:

1. Look at the bible quotation at the bottom of a post
2. Reply by posting a similar quotation or an echo of it in your post
3. Beneath your quotation, post another one for the next bible reader to come along.

Example:

Awake O Sleeper and arise from the Dead and Christ shall give you light (Ephesians 5:14)

Lazarus, come forth! (John 11:43)
