A few of the above suggestions are excellent!\nHowever, my favorite passage by far to comfort believers who have lost a loved one is this:\n\n1 Thessalonians 4:13-18\n13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. \n14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.\n15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. \n16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. \n17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. \n18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.\n\n= \nI like it all the more, as even the last verse in this scripture exhorts us to use those very words for the purpose you are asking!\n\nBut I also love the John 11:25, Romans 8, and Revelation 21 verses given by other people who have answered.\n\nMay God be with you as you comfort others with your words, even with His words.

I say any verse in the bible is the word of God and is the truth. Jesus is the truth so the word is the truth.

Psalms and Hebrews....\n\nI like Proverbs and Romans as well.\n\nI like all of them, I might as well say that.

John 14:27-- "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you, not as the world gives, do I give to you, let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid" When I was in high school I had debilitating panic attacks and senior year I found this verse to get me through, God gave me HIS peace, his holy spirit that was infinately greater than what the world had to offer me, I would recite it over and over in an attack and it would make me feel a lot better-- this verse reminds me of God's divine "there-ness" and keeps me strong when I am fearful or when I am tempted to give into the world's perception of what I, as a young woman, ought to be, let us know what yours is!

I like the NKJV.  It's easy to read, but close to the KJV, which by some standards is most accurate.

Bible has proved itself to be the best book on earth. It produced western civilization which is far above all others in the world. Many, many Bible prophecies have been fulfilled to the letter.\n\nIn the Beginning God created heavens and earth.\nGod gives you air to breathe and sunshine to enjoy.\nGod gives you water to drink and food to eat.\nGod gives you a wonderful body and sound mind, to live.\nGod loves you, and you are precious to Him.\nSon of God died on the Cross to save us from condemnation.\nJesus’ love is boundless and everlasting.\nWe have the hope of Heaven through Jesus.\nLife therefore has fantastic and glorious future!

When I was in elementary and high school I learned hundreds of Bible verses as part of a yearly Bible Memory program all the kids in our family used (with some nice incentives every few weeks if you did it).  I certainly don't regret that (thanks Mom & Dad), but I went on to discover that it's equally important to understand the overall CONTENT of large sections, and how those verses fit in their original CONTEXT.    (I have often witnessed people citing some memorized verses to prove some idea, but they had no idea of how those verses fit into the chapter of book they came from-- their interpretation might be pretty reasonable or way off base, but without the context there is no check.)\n\nSo, I began to try to learn how various books of the Bible are put together -- to memorize an outline of the contents of a book.   That way if someone mentions or I'm thinking of something like "where did Jesus say. . . ?" I have a pretty good idea not only of what he said and where to find the chapter but I'll know what was going on just before and after he said it (the context).\n\nI still think it's important to learn verse and short passages --especially key ones (such as highpoints and turning points in a book)-- and if you can memorize much longer sections, that's great!   But now I have a better idea of the MEANING of the verses that I've memorized or that others mention and can more easily put my hands on related passages (for my own studies or in a discussion).\n\n(By the way, you don't need to have the "perfect" or fullest outline to benefit from this.  I have fairly sketchy outlines for some books, starting with the biggest pieces and major turning points.  For others that I've spent a lot of time in I've come up with more detailed outlines.)

The first one is the most popular verse in the bible; \n\nJohn.3:16\n"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life"\n\nMatthew.26:2, \n"You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.\n\nMatthew.26:28\nJesus speaking; "For this is My blood of the new covenant which is shed for many for the remission of sins."\n\nLuke.24:7,46-47\n"saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.'\n\n"Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,\nand that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."\n\nI think this should be sufficient and if you need more, just mail me.
