Another Thursday has come along and we are now on the letter U. This will be an interesting letter for our challenge. Thank you so much to all of you who have been adding your verses to the comments here. It’s been rewarding to read the verses you have shared. As you share I will add your verses here.
U is for Unless:

For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:20 (ESV)
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 (ESV)

Lots of verses with unless, I didn’t think of that one.
There really are a lot of ‘unless’ verses especially in Luke.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own *understanding*;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
And
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is *understanding*.”
Proverbs 9:10
Best wishes!
Thank you Maristella! Wonderful Proverbs!

My verse for this week . . .
“The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” Deuteronomy 33:27
I remember Elisabeth Elliot quoting that verse on her radio broadcast “Gateway to Joy,” and after quoting the verse she would say, “That’s what the Bible says.” Such words of comfort and truth!
I’m going to have to use that line, “That’s what the Bible says.” Thanks for adding your verse Cheryl.
