My favorite is Isaiah 53:5, because it's a beautifully poetic expression of the gospel:
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed
There are many verses to live by, but perhaps well summed up by Ecclesiastes 12:13:
The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
It's easy to get lost in vain philosophies or questions about life. But in the end, it's all very simple: fear God and keep his commandments. We make things complicated for ourselves.
If someone were new to the Bible or Christianity, I'd probably suggest starting with Genesis! It's foundational for everything else.
The Bible tells a single narrative with consistent theology across a thousand years and multiple authors. Pretty amazing when you think about it!
