How to learn a verseDarby Bible
Five steps, one a day, a few minutes each. Here they are on one verse from this set:
Isaiah 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
- 1Meet the verseHear it and say it, with a motion for each phrase.When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
