Usually I write about marriage, but I took a detour recently to compile a list of my 50 favourite
Bible verses. After all, if we want our relationships to go well, we need God at the center of them.
So let’s learn more of God’s Word!

I’ve put together this list of the 50 Bible verses I think are wonderful to memorize. Of course,
these aren’t the ONLY great verses in the Bible, and you may have your own favorites that aren’t
here. That’s fine! But I thought it was important to start somewhere, and so I put this list
together.

I know many families want to memorize verses together, but they don’t know where to start.
Here you go. One a week for a year. Even if this is all you ever memorize, you will have God’s
word in your heart for most of the key verses in the Bible. I’m going to type the list with the
verses first, and then at the end include a list of just the references, if you want those to just copy
and paste.

Why not make little memory verse cards out of 3×5 cards, and keep them at the dinner table?
Then every night you can go over this week’s verse. By the end of the year, you’ll have all of these
memorized! (I even have these available as printables now to make it easier for you!)

I chose these because they’re a cross-section of doctrine, promises, and comfort. You may want
to add others, or to substitute. Feel free. Consider this a starting point, not anything definitive. I
hope you you find it useful! All verses here are from the NIV.

Salvation
John 3:16-17

your Father in heaven.

If you want to memorize these verses, the easiest way to do it is with cards of your own!
We’ve created a free downloadable, all formatted for you, so that you don’t have to fiddle
around. Just print, cut, and you’ve got them!

Bigger challenges:
If you want to memorize whole chapters, here are my top 5:

Isaiah 53
Psalm 23
1 Corinthians 13
John 15
Psalm 139

These chapters are all important; I have left them out of the top 50 verses because I couldn’t
choose just one or two verses from any of them. The whole thing is great. So if you’re up for a
family challenge, memorize a chapter.

Look at it this way: if you spend one year memorizing the fifty verses, and the next year reviewing
those fifty and memorizing a chapter, and then go back to those fifty verses again to make sure
you have them down, and then the next year go back and do a different chapter, and so on, over
the course of ten years you’ll have 50 verses and 5 chapters so committed to memory there is no
way anyone could ever forget it.

And I think knowing fewer verses, but knowing them inside and out, is sometimes more
beneficial in the long run than trying to make yourself learn a verse a day or something.

So print this out and use it with your family!

Now, here are just the references if you want to copy and paste:

2. Isaiah 40:28
3. Genesis 1:1
4. John 3:16-17

Yeah, but you left off the Secret of Success, which is found in two places:
Joshua 1:8
This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and
night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make
your way prosperous, and then you will have success.

and Psalms 1:1-3

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he
meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its
season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

>An elderly pastor once told me that scripture memorization among people took a nosedive once
all the different translations of the Bible came out (he admitted he must have 40 different
translations on his own bookshelf). Before, when everybody used the King James (which is easy
to memorize because the old language is melodic), everybody memorized scripture the same
way. Now it is confusing with everybody using a different translation, and many of them written
so the verses are hard to memorize.

Memorization is a good thing.

we can apply it to the NT as well, but that is really useful information for anyone who questions
the use and validity of the Old Testament.

I think you left out what is probably some of the most important verses in the bible. Jesus tells us
that the laws of the the Old Testament are not void, but that they are essential for us and what
will become of our life with God.

Matthew 5:17
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but
to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the
smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.”

Matthew 5:18-19
“For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law
until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and
teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and
teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”

2 Timothy 3:16
“All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for
training in righteousness…”

2 Peter 20-21
“Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal
interpretation, for no prophecy ever came through human will; but rather human beings moved
by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God.”

You're so encouraging! 50 verses can sound like a lot, but one a week is very do-able.

We're working on a chapter now, but I'll probably come back to your list.

Didn't you post (quite a while ago) your system for memory verses and review? I seem to
remember 3×5 cards in a series of piles, but not how it worked. Could you link to it, in your post?

Thanks!

What a fabulous idea, Sheila! Scripture memorization is an integral part of our children’s program
at our church – which I love. In addition to those we-should-all-know-them verses, it’s good to
memorize a few that speak specifically to you. Among my favorite verses is Isaiah 43:2-3a –
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames
will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.” I need a
reminder at times that God has not promised a lack of hardship, but His constant presence and
security when we are in distress. Thanks for this great post!

I have made a website with several resources to help memorize popular bible verses:
http://www..jacksonlearning.com.
Under “Top 100 Bible Verses” you can memorize the text of popular verses; under “Memorize

verse quiz also.
Hope this helps. Time and time again I’ve been surprised at how much my understanding of
somethign improves when I commit it to memory.

Wow, excited I found this list! I used to work at memorizing verses regularly, but I”m out of the
habit. I should get back in it! Alas, I might be home full time, but its so easy to get really busy just
doing things that time in the Word gets relegated to “when I have time”. Got to change that.

Thank you for posting! I lead a 7th grade boys small group (about 25 boys). I was looking for a list
I could use to challenge them this year on a memory verse contest. I pick one a week from your
list and send it out to my guys…. We are 6 weeks in and it has been great so far.

Thanks again!

Thank you for sharing this list with others. I liked that you put both the verse and the reference
because somethimes you only find the references but can’t actually read them.
Let me tell you that when I started memorizing bible verses I have trouble knowing where to start
(I was also “new” to the bible so I needed some direction) and this list would’ve been very
helpful.
I now know most of these (though I copy 3 or four to my list) but for someone starting this is an
amazing list.

So far you must have tried various methods to memorize Bible verses, but sometimes we are not
able to remember it correctly. One of my friends gave me an excellent idea to memorize the Bible
verses. He showed me his android phone to which he had downloaded an application which puts
holy verses on your phone wallpaper. What is more amazing is that the verses keep on changing
after some time. In today’s world everyone keeps their phone with themselves every time, so
whenever you see your phone you see a verse. What could be more better way to memorize the
verses other than this. The application can be downloaded from the link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nbs.free.goodfriday
to your android phone.
You can send the verse as a message to your friend or post the verse to your friend’s facebook
wall.
What could be more better way to share the Word Of The Lord. God bless us all.

It helps a lot, and maybe is the best way, to memorize listening to music, specially if the music is
word for word, verbatim. There is a band that has the Bible in songs, and it’s unique in that the
author has been working in the songs for over 35 years and have a high quality. This is the
website: http://www.abunoahiii.com

Sheila on January 9, 2013 at 12:16 pm
Ummmm….this is my blog and I write about marriage. The 50 Bible verses to memorize is
something that I take very seriously. Christians SHOULD be memorizing Scripture. And Christians
SHOULD have great marriages.

I’m sorry if writing about marriage offends you, but I would gracefully inform you that this is my
blog, and I went to the trouble of putting this list together to help others. In a way, I invited you
into my home and I served you food. If you were invited into someone’s home you would not
criticize the decor, so perhaps you should not criticize someone’s blog when you visit.

Please, in the spirit of Christian unity, remember that what you say in a comment has the
capacity to hurt people. The internet is not here only for your enjoyment to get what you want;
other people have worked to provide that content. It would be better to say thank you and leave
it at that rather than criticize without thinking. There are real people behind each blog, and
Christian love would say that we should be gracious and be thankful rather than be snarky and
critical.

I read another mom’s blog that was also speaking about memorizing scripture. She talked about
how she was convicted one day while reading a Dr. Suess book with her small child. She realized
that they had memorized the whole book. That is when she came up with the idea of making her
own board book with scripture to read with her children, and to pass along to their children
someday. We have a captive audience and they are little sponges. Let’s use God’s word to fill their
little hearts and minds instead of what the world has to offer. =o)

Sheila on February 8, 2013 at 11:14 am
Everybody has their favourite verses! These are the 50 that I find most speak to me about my
faith in Christ, but if another verse is better to you, then by all means substitute some!

The important thing is that we’re memorizing, and that God is becoming more anchored in our
minds and in our hearts. And so people should choose the verses that speak the most to them.
But if people are lost and don’t know where to start, here are the ones that I find the most basic.
Personally, all of Philippians 3:4-14 speak to me the most, but I didn’t include them because I
think these are the more basic doctrinal ones. I think everybody should choose the ones that
mean the most to them!

Hello Sheila! I am curious how the medical mission trip went and what your goal is for any funds
you raise in 2015.

Thanks for posting these! I was surprised at how many I am familiar with, but don’t have
memorized, do you think it is important to memorize the reference as well?

Thanks!

Reply
Sheila on January 5, 2015 at 9:56 am
Yes! Always memorize the reference. It helps so much if you ever want to find it again.

We didn’t end up going on the trip–we couldn’t get enough doctors. But my mother went and
the funds went to her! She led a team of several people who were working on the training and
microloan aspect with some of the older girls, and it was great!

I am grateful to you. For sharing this mind touching messages or memory verses. It is my
consideration that these messages can change our life very easily. I am gaining a great knowledge
or lessons from this website.

Thanks for sharing this most important Bible Scriptures.

This is just wonderful. What a great list of great memory verses. I have bookmarked and will be
going through it with my kiddos in our homeschool. We choose a new memory verse every few
weeks. I think this is a fantastic resource because I was having a hard time narrowing down
choices. Thanks so much!

I was interested in buying the memory verse cards already printed. I couldn’t find this anywhere.
Thanks.

Great suggestions! My life verse is Jeremiah 29:11, God has a plan for me, plan to prosper me
and not to harm me, plans to give me hope and a future.

Thanks for sharing these bible verses! I’m going to memorize these verses one by one.

Memorizing important Bible verses is a virtue to be practiced by all who love peace to happen in
the world .You have done a splendid job by selecting it for us.If we try to memorize a single verse
per day all those can be by heart within two months.
Practice daily and putting in use the right word in the right context,and taken in the right spirit
can work wonders in healing sorrows of humanity.This is the power of the Word of God our Lord
that became flesh and dwelt among us.
Let peace be with you all

Im not sure what caused me to step out but im 15 and my parents are atheists and i cannot goto
church as it is to far but i checked out sone things i should consider doing and this was excellent
for me and i realized today i do not have to do things based off of my friends but off of my
decicions so ive decided to become a devoted christian if you know any ways i could worship him
please contact me and thank you so much

That’s awesome. Indeed, you are responsible for your own life. You can, and should make your
own choices.

Church is important. If you can’t get there, could you check and see if there is a bible study group
or something in your school? There may not be many Christians in your school, but it is unlikely
that there are none at all. Being with believers is important.

Another thing you could do is listen to sermons online. Desiring God is John Piper’s website. He
has good sermons. My church puts their sermons on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvdP1oHMP8ym26eMYwyuPpA/videos?
sort=dd&shelf_id=0&view=0. There should be more on our church website. A nice thing about
my church is that they preach through whole books. Which might be especially beneficial for a
person just starting out.

There are also plenty of good books you could read about the Christian life. Just about anything
by C.S Lewis is good. Mere Christianity would be an excellent place to start.

I like that one, too! In fact, 4:8-9 are some of my favourites. If I do a follow-up list, they’ll be
there. It’s always hard to choose just 50!

I find a good way to memorize a bible verse is to draw the first letter of each key word into a
meaningful picture. It’s fun and works well. There are good examples at

Thank you so much for this list!! I am a twelve year old and I am realizing how wonderful and
true the word of God is! He has become a very important part of my life and is impacting me
more and more. Church is no longer ‘a requirement that makes me wake up early on Sunday
mornings.’ I will use this list of scriptures and it will benefit me so well! Thank you!!
