God's Word in commercial slogans?

I have seen some examples of God's Word embodied in commercial slogans, like:
  • Expressions International says "Your body is a temple" which is what 1 Cor 6:19 says.
  • Nike's "Just Do It" can be a joiner to James 2:17 "Faith without action is dead".
  • DHL's "Going the extra mile" is similar to Mt 5:41 "Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two"
  • Adidas says "Impossible is nothing" and the Bible says in Mt 19:26 "with God all things are possible"

Can anyone think of more? See where this leads us. This is gonna be fun:)

Apple's slogan "Think Different" is similar to Romans 12:2 "Do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind"

AT&T's "Reach out and touch someone" has a parallel in Mark 1:41 - Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!"

L'Oreal says "Because I'm worth it".

This was in fact what Jesus meant in Matt 26:10 in response to criticism that a woman had wasted expensive perfume on him. The actual verse "She has done a beautiful thing to me"

US Army's "Be all you can be". Didn't Paul say something to that effect in 1 Corinthians 9:22
To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some?

Hi here's another

"At MacD??? we do it all for you". Reminds me of Ephsians 2:8-9a "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works..."
