Scripture out of context

Outside a transmission shop in my town, is a sign that reads, "2 Chronicles 7:14". And today, I saw a truck with, "2 Chron 7:14" on the top of its windshield. This got me thinking. Which bible verse is used out of context the most?

that's easy either Jeremiah 29:11 or Philippians 4:13!

And pretty much anything from the Sermon on the Mount . . . ;)

Yeppers! "Judge not that ye be not judged," would have to be high on the list (if there were such a list).

How do you take Genesis 1:1-31 out of context? I can see how you can disagree with someone's interpretation of the passage, but out of context . . . :scratch:

Are you kidding? There's nothing quite like the feeling of floating in space while simultaneously feeling that your eyelids weigh 300lbs while simultaneously feeling nothing, all while knowing you are thinking something but not quite sure what it is.
