I heard recently about a young couple at a very conservative Bible college who were very attracted to each other but they had been brought up to believe they needed some scripture verse to justify all their actions. One day the young man said to his girl, “Boy, do I want to kiss you, but I just can’t find the right Bible verse.”

He said he tried the verse from Corinthians that said, “Greet each other with a holy kiss,” but he knew that applied to greeting each other at church. He was stymied.

Finally, however one night, tired of waiting his girl grabbed him and kissed him. He said, “We need a Bible verse!”

Without hesitation she said, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!”

My guess is that, under those circumstances, just about any Bible verse would do.
