Deuteronomy 30:19,20. This is the essence of the gospel that we preach to this world. Set before them are the way of life and the way of death, the way of blessing and the way of cursing. If they reject Jesus Christ, and the love He demonstrated on the cross, they reject the One who is Life itself (see John 1:4; 14:6; 1 John 5:11,12).
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;20 that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
And until you prove god's existence, God's trustworthiness and divine authorship of the Bible (and make no mistake, you need to prove the three points), quoting the Bible to unbelievers is like quoting the Lord of the Rings after putting it through google translate a few dozen times.
