Study the Bible · One verse, every word weighed

Verse Map

Take a single verse and map it: the words that carry the weight, where else Scripture uses them, and what the verse says when you put it in your own words. This is how a verse stops being a slogan and becomes yours. Good for memory verses and for the verse of the day.
