Read the Bible in a year, one verse at a time
The whole Bible in 365 days, about 85 verses a day, read the way your thumb already knows: one verse per screen.
But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.
Psalm 1:2 · BSB
In plain wordsInstead, this person delights in the Lord's law and thinks about it day and night.
What each day looks like
Every day has three readings, so you're never stuck in one hard book for weeks:
- The Old Testament, from Genesis to Malachi, in whole chapters, so no day starts in the middle of one.
- The New Testament, from Matthew to Revelation.
- Psalms and Proverbs, a little each day, all year.
The three readings are sized so that all of them end on day 365, in the Berean Standard Bible's 31,086 verses.
Miss a day? You won't fall behind
The plan follows what you've read, not the calendar. Come back after a busy week and it opens on the next day you haven't finished. The Today screen shows the day you're on.
Help along the way
- A line in plain words under every verse, for the genealogies and the laws as much as the Gospels.
- Tap Deeper on any verse for what it meant then, one way to carry it today and a short prayer.
- Reminders at the times you choose, so the reading has a place in your day.
- Your place is kept on every verse, so ten minutes on a lunch break counts.
