Common Questions
What is the Bible verse of the day?
The Bible verse of the day is one short passage of Scripture set out for reading and reflection each day. Today's verse is 2 Timothy 1:7, on the theme of courage. Every reader who visits this page on the same day sees the same verse.
How is today's verse chosen?
The verses come from a hand-picked list of 47 well-known passages grouped under eight themes: hope, strength, love, faith, peace, wisdom, courage, and gratitude. The page takes the day of the year (on UTC time) and steps through that list in order, so the scripture of the day is the same for everyone and the list repeats roughly every seven weeks. The page refreshes hourly, so the new verse appears within the first hour after midnight UTC.
Which Bible translation is the daily verse from?
The daily verse is quoted from the New International Version (NIV). The full-chapter links on this page open our online Bible, which uses the King James Version (KJV), so the wording there reads differently from the NIV quote while the passage is the same.
How can I use a daily Bible verse?
Read it slowly, more than once, and ask what it actually says before asking what it means for you. Pray it back to God in your own words, then name one way to live it out today. Saying a short verse aloud several times a day for a week is a simple way to memorize it, and reading the surrounding chapter keeps it in context.
Can I share the verse of the day?
Yes. Use Copy to Clipboard to paste the verse and reference into a message or post, use Share as Image to create a graphic of today's verse, or open the Verse Studio to design your own shareable image.
Where can I read the full chapter for today's verse?
Today's verse comes from 2 Timothy 1. You can read the whole chapter in our free online KJV Bible at redwhitejesus.com/bible/2-timothy/1, and each day in the list of previous verses links to its own chapter too.
