Where is that verse?

An exercise for a winter evening

A concordance is a wonderful thing when we need to know where a particular verse or phrase is in the Bible. There may be some of us who do not need to use a concordance, because we know exactly where a scripture is to be found.

Here are a selection of quite well known texts— see if you know where to find them. Give yourself one point if you know roughly where to look; three points if you can find the text within a minute; and five points if without looking it up you can correctly give the reference, book, chapter, verse. What is your score out of a hundred? The quotations are all from the AV.
