I have many favorites depending on the context or mood. This one comes to mind:

Test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. Reject every kind of evil! Isn't that just another way of saying '98% of everything is crap'? It depends on whether or not it passes or fails the test.

I disagree with that. The old testament is quite accurate as a recorder of history. Like they mention the hittite which were censored by most historians due to political reasons. What a bunch of BS. Just because SOME of the Old Testament is based on history it doesn't mean that the entire OT is based on history.

Here you go:
Ephesians 4:2: “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love."

just some quotes related to Christianity I like...
"To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible." - St. Thomas Aquinas
"If I were not a Catholic, and were looking for the true Church in the world today, I would look for the one Church which did not get along well with the world; in other words, I would look for the Church which the world hated. My reason for doing this would be, that if Christ is in any one of the churches of the world today, He must still be hated as He was when He was on earth in the flesh. If you would find Christ today, then find the Church that does not get along with the world. Look for the Church that is hated by the world as Christ was hated by the world. Look for the Church that is accused of being behind the times, as our Lord was accused of being ignorant and never having learned. Look for the Church which men sneer at as socially inferior, as they sneered at Our Lord because He came from Nazareth. Look for the Church which is accused of having a devil, as Our Lord was accused of being possessed by Beelzebub, the Prince of Devils. Look for the Church which, in seasons of bigotry, men say must be destroyed in the name of God as men crucified Christ and thought they had done a service to God. Look for the Church which the world rejects because it claims it is infallible, as Pilate rejected Christ because He called Himself the Truth. Look for the Church which is rejected by the world as Our Lord was rejected by men. Look for the Church which amid the confusions of conflicting opinions, its members love as they love Christ, and respect its Voice as the very voice of its Founder, and the suspicion will grow, that if the Church is unpopular with the spirit of the world, then it is unworldly, and if it is unworldly it is other worldly. since it is other-worldly, it is infinitely loved and infinitely hated as was Christ Himself. But only that which is Divine can be infinitely hated and infinitely loved. Therefore the Church is Divine." - Fulton J Sheen (1895-1979)
so basically... that first quote sums up many and the second quote pretty much tells you which church is the true church of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 7:13-14..."for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few." that sounds about right especially in today's world where immorality is rampant with people sleeping together outside of marriage and the flood of porn etc etc. Our Lady (i.e. Mary (who's the mother of God)) mentioned to Jacinta at Fatima that the sins which cause most souls to go to Hell are the sins of the flesh. but sadly, many claim not to even believe in the reality of hell anymore
one more...
Galatians 6:7-8...
"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life."
basically... if one lives by the flesh, you will end up in hell. if one lives by the spirit(which resists the temptations of the flesh etc), one will end up in Heaven.
the spirit(or soul) animates(gives life to) the body. so if you let the flesh/body run you, your chances of hell are much higher since it's often contrary (after the fall of Adam/Eve) to doing what's right. if it's the other way around where you do what's right even when your tempted to act otherwise that leads to eternal life with God in Heaven.
that should give you the gist of that one
