Random Bible Verse

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Philippians 4:6 (WEB)

Also in Be Anxious for Nothing

Drawn from 597 verses on rest, hope, grief and gratitude — the ones we quote in our own writing, not all 31,102.

Random Bible verse in the King James Version

Tap KJV and the same verse is shown in the King James Version of 1611; tap WEB for the World English Bible, a modern-English translation. The switch keeps the verse you are looking at rather than drawing a new one, so you can read a passage in both and compare the wording.

Both are in the public domain — neither carries licence restrictions, so you can copy anything here and use it freely. That is also why they are the two on offer: the modern translations people ask for, NIV, ESV and NKJV, are all under copyright.

Frequently asked questions

Give me a random Bible verse — how does this work?
Press “Another verse” and the generator picks one for you. Every click shows a new verse with its reference, and you can copy it in one tap. Nothing to install and no sign-up.
Is this a truly random Bible verse?
Within a curated pool, yes. Each click draws from 597 verses that this site has quoted in its articles and daily audio, weighted so that verses we return to most often come up more. It is not a truly random draw across all 31,102 verses — that returns genealogies and census lists, and no verse generator actually does it, though most do not say so.
Which Bible translation is used?
Both are public domain: the World English Bible (WEB), a modern-English translation, and the King James Version (KJV) of 1611. Switch between them with the toggle — the same verse is shown in whichever you pick. Copyrighted translations such as NIV, ESV and NKJV cannot be offered here.
How were the verses chosen?
They were not chosen for this page. Every one was quoted by a writer working on an article about rest, grief, anxiety, gratitude or prayer, or read aloud in one of our daily audio episodes. The pool is a by-product of that work rather than a list assembled to look inspiring.
Can I use these verses anywhere?
Yes. Both translations are in the public domain, so the text carries no licence restrictions. Attribution is appreciated but not required.
