Shortest Bible Verse

[McDLT]

777 Blessings to the person who tells me where the shortest verse is in the Bible (English language).

Just to clarify a bit - It is the shortest in these Bible Versions: KJV, NIV, NIV-UK, NASB, Amplified, ESV, NKJV, 21st Century KJV, ASV, YLT, Darby, HCSB, and NIRV.

If you guys are after a bit more trivia, the shortest bible verse in the greek edition is 1 thess 5:17 - Pray without ceasing, coz in greek it was actually just a prefix, or suffix that was just added unto the word to make it *without ceasing* so it was actually a one word verse. Just for a nice little touch.
