Top Verses for the Christian Walk?



So I was walking through a bookstore and saw a book entitled-"The Top 100 Bible Verses". I started thinking about my lack of Bible Verse memorization and thought what verses would get me through a year if I didn't have my Bible available.
What verses would I meditate on if imprisoned and isolated from Believers and the Word of God? What verses are essential in defending the faith? What verses period!

So my question...What top 5 verses would you say were essential to a Christian and the their walk with God?

Wow! That's a tall order. How do I limit it to 5 verses? I can't. So let me throw out a bunch of verses or passages and begin the discussion. These are in no particular order.

Isaiah 53
Ephesian 2:8-9
John 3:16
John 14:6
Roman 3:23
Roman 6:23
Romans 8:28
Romans 8:31-32
John 1:1
James 2:14-20
James 4:1-3
James 5:19
I Peter 1:13-16
I Peter 4:12-14
Romans 6:1-14
I John 1:5-10
I John 3:1-6
I John 5:13-15
Jude 17-25
Hebrews 4:14-16
Hebrews 11:1-3 and the rest of the chapter
Hebrews 13:1-8
Philippians 3:12-14
Philippians 4:13
I Corinthians 13
Ephesians 2:1-10
Ephesians 5:21-33
Ephesians 6:1-4
Ephesians 6:10-18
Galatians 5:16-18

I am sure there are a ton more if I took some more time to wrack my brain. But these are a good starting point for a discussion.

Janice,

I don't know ALL of them by heart...

But I know most of them. Probably because of all those years of Sunday School and Vacation Bible Scool and Bible Quizzing!

Oh, did I mention that my Mom was my Sunday School Teacher most of my childhood!!!
