*** A sign outside Paster Jeffries' church says "Today's reading: Jeremiah 23:16", indicating the beginning of a section of the Bible warning against false prophets who "speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord".
** ''VideoGame/FarCry6'' has the Bliss Rifle, a unique weapon which visually calls back to Eden's Gate from the previous game and has "John 1:9" engraved on its magazines.

* ''VideoGame/FarCry4'' has "[=LK1018=]" engraved on the side of the rocket launcher, and considering that you mostly use it to shoot down helicopters "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." (KJV) is quite apropos.
* [[BigBad Joseph Seed]] of ''VideoGame/FarCry5'' frequently quotes the Bible's verses on the end of the world.

* Referred in Neil Young's "Southern Man," a call to end slavery and Jim Crow laws:

* "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" -- Matthew 16:26, Mark 8:36, and Luke 9:25. If you see this one, count on the [[AnAesop Aesop]] being WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity, with LonelyAtTheTop being a key illustration of this. Such as:

** Intentionally inverted in "Starseed", the last volume of Creator/SpiderRobinson's ''Stardance'' trilogy, with the quote, "What shall it cost a man if he shall lose the world only to gain his soul?" The {{A|nAesop}}esop in this case is, "Humanity must ultimately leave the Earth behind if we are to take our place among the stars."

* In ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'', Bob and Larry consult [[MeaningfulName QWERTY]] the computer at the end of every episode to support the show's {{A|nAesop}}esop with a quote from the Good Book. OnceAnEpisode, however, it's supplemented by a catchy jingle that, at least at first, annoys Bob to no end. He's since admitted that he likes it.

* In ''ComicBook/StrangeAdventures2020'', the now-retired ComicBook/AdamStrange writes a memoir that includes a dedication to [[OutlivingOnesOffspring his late daughter]] -- who was lost during the war against the Pykkts -- including the line "My life is spent with grief," which ComicBook/MisterTerrific identifies this as a reference from [[Literature/BookOfPsalms Psalm 31]]. [[SpottingTheThread Its origin ends up becoming very important]] because [[spoiler:it has nothing to do with grief, loss, or even death -- in context, the passage is about [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone lamenting one's shame and guilt]] about [[HeWhoFightsMonsters the atrocities that one has committed in the name of hurting their enemies that have wronged you]][[labelnote:Excerpt]]"For my life is spent with grief, And my years with sighing; My strength fails because of my iniquity, And my bones waste away. I am a reproach among all my enemies, But especially among my neighbors, And am repulsive to my acquaintances; Those who see me outside flee from me."[[/labelnote]]. Combined with many other inconsistencies with Strange's memoir, especially in light of the Pykkt's recent invasion of Earth, Mr. T pieces together this quote was Strange's hidden confession of bigger misdeeds, having secretly sold out Earth to the Pykkts in exchange for sparing his other home planet of Rann, and using his [[FakingTheDead very-much-alive daughter]] as a bargaining chip.]]

* ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' uses many Bible quotes throughout its runtime as Colombia is incredibly religious
