Questions
How are these Bible verses chosen?
Each collection brings together selected passages related to its topic. Brief notes explain their context, and links let you read more of the surrounding chapter. The lists are a starting point for exploring a subject, not a complete account of everything the Bible says about it.
Can I change the Bible version?
Yes. Use the version selector on a collection page to choose another available translation or language. English collections start with the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), and the Spanish collection starts with the Reina-Valera 1909. Some editions do not include every book or use different verse numbering; the page will explain when a passage cannot be displayed.
How do I memorize a verse from one of these lists?
Choose the Memorize link beside a verse to open guided practice. You can listen, repeat phrases, fill in missing words and practise recalling the verse with fewer prompts. Work at your own pace and return for review when you are ready.
What is the difference between these collections and a topical Bible or a concordance?
A concordance helps you find passages by word, while a topical Bible organizes references by subject. These collections offer a smaller selection with brief explanations, links to the surrounding chapters and optional memorization practice.
Are there collections in other languages?
There is also an anxiety collection written in Spanish. On the collection pages, you can use the version selector to read available Bible translations in other languages. Changing the Bible version changes the Scripture text, not the collection's explanatory notes.
Half remember a different verse?
The words don't need to match exactly, just type what you remember.
