Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.
The World English Bible (WEB), a modern English translation based on the American Standard Version of 1901 and the original-language texts. Its editors dedicated it to the public domain, so it has no copyright and needs no permission to quote, print or sell.
The NIV, ESV and NLT are copyrighted, with limits on how much you may quote and how. The King James Version is out of copyright almost everywhere, but in the United Kingdom its text is still covered by the Crown’s letters patent. The World English Bible is free everywhere, which is what a tool for making and sharing images needs.
Where the Hebrew has God’s personal name, most English Bibles print “the LORD” in small capitals. The World English Bible writes the name itself, Yahweh. Nothing else about the verse changes.
Yes. The text is in the public domain, so you can use it in anything, including things you sell, without asking. Crediting the reference and “WEB” is good practice so readers can look the verse up.
By hand, one topic at a time, starting with the passages people search for most and adding the less-known verses that speak to the same need. Each reference is read from the World English Bible source file by a script, so the wording is never retyped or paraphrased.
Every date has its own verse, taken in a fixed shuffled order from the short verses on these pages, so everyone sees the same verse on the same day and none repeats until the whole list has been shown. A new random Bible verse is one click away on the random verse page.
