Read the surrounding passage
25Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
26“Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,
27and don’t give place to the devil.
28Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.
29Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
30Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.
32And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
EDITORIAL REFLECTION · NOT SCRIPTURE
Kindness becomes concrete
The preceding verses concern truthful speech, anger, sharing and words that serve others. Kindness and forgiveness close this practical description of shared life. God’s forgiveness becomes the point of reference for how people treat one another.
A QUESTION TO CARRY
Which conversation could become kinder and also more honest today? What sentence would you deliberately put differently?
A Bible verse of the day, with room for context
A Bible verse of the day can give you a manageable beginning. Read the selected verse once, then open the surrounding passage below it. Notice whether the verse belongs to a poem, a story, a prayer, or an argument in a letter. The context helps you hear more than a memorable sentence.
Each selection here has a short original reflection and a question. Those words are reading aids, not additional Scripture. You can agree, ask a further question, or return to the passage to examine an interpretation for yourself.
If today’s reading feels unfamiliar, begin with what you can observe. Name who is speaking or what image is repeated. You do not need to produce a complete explanation before spending a few thoughtful minutes with the text.
How the daily Bible verse is chosen
The Bible verse of the day follows a fixed cycle of 365 curated readings drawn from the World English Bible. The date selects a place in that cycle. It is the same set of passages used for the app’s daily reading collection, with original context notes and reflection questions.
This website changes the daily selection at midnight UTC. The date above the reading shows which day you are viewing. Use the reading calendar to revisit another date, or return to today. The cycle repeats after 365 readings rather than making a claim that a passage was selected personally for you.
All quotations come from the existing Bible text. The site does not generate new Scripture or change a verse’s wording to match a date, question, or mood.
Make your daily verse part of a reading habit
Try three small steps. First, read the verse and its paragraph. Next, write one observation you can point to in the text. Finally, record a question or response in your own words. Keeping those steps distinct helps you notice where Scripture ends and your interpretation begins.
Return to the same passage later if it needs more time. A daily rhythm is an invitation to return, not a requirement to move on before you understand. For a longer journey, choose a Bible reading plan. For a practical study method, start with how to study the Bible for beginners.
Questions along the way
Does the Bible verse of the day change automatically?
Yes. The daily selection follows the date in UTC. With JavaScript enabled, the page updates when the UTC day changes. If the interactive tools are unavailable, the displayed date identifies the static reading that was loaded.
Can I read a previous daily verse?
Choose a date in the reading calendar or use a recent-date link. The page displays the verse, surrounding passage, and reflection assigned to that date in the 365-reading cycle.
Can I share the verse?
Use Copy verse to copy the exact Scripture text with its reference and World English Bible attribution. Keep your own reflection separate when you add a personal message.
