>In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him. He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light. That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name. Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John beareth witness of him, and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me, is preferred before me: because he was before me. And of his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

I'm reading the Bible for the first time but Deuteronomy has left the most impact thus far.

>So your life will hang in doubt before you, and you will be afraid night and day, never certain of survival. In the morning you will say, ‘If only it were evening!’ and in the evening you will say, ‘If only it were morning!’— because of the dread in your hearts of the terrifying sights you will see. The LORD will return you to Egypt in ships by a route that I said you should never see again. There you will sell yourselves to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.”

I was a "christcuck" decades before half of (You) narrowly dodged being a stain on a sheet. If you were to put any degree of proper effort into reading and studying it, you could discover that the Holy Bible is so incredibly deeply layered, hyperlinked, and expressive of the transcendental that one, if truly onto what it holds, likely develops the aching wish for having invested far more time with it previous and regret for much of the time in other things.

I only back this as holding true for the KJV, others are indeed relatively lower witted, though I also recognize that everyone is differently oriented with varying capacities and "needs", and I also do not underestimate God's ability to provide revelation through even inferior tools.

Bless (You), may you someday have eyes to see and ears to hear, and may there be enough somedays ahead to allow for it. If not, come quickly Lord Jesus.

In the Old Testament I would say Ecclesiastes and Proverbs are very good and required reading. Some people have already posted some quotations. My favorite is the start of Ecclesiastes:

> What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
> One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
> The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
> The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
> All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
> All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

> The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
