My Favorite Bible Sites for Reading, Listening, and More



Biblehub.com - My favorite for reading if you can get some dark mode tweaks in your browser because the site is bright. Includes a few public domain versions that can be fully quoted and copied without limits. I particularly like the BSV and BSB. There’s also tools to see scripture directly translated from Hebrew and Greek to English so you can enjoy that strong coffee unfiltered, although the sentence structure is very different at times. The cross references feature is also very nice as you click on a single verse to see multiple translations and connected scriptures below.

Biblegateway.com - great for listening in the car etc. Various audio translations and text translations available.

BlueLetterBible.org - this one has really grown on me, especially when I would like to find a particular word  occurrence throughout the entire Bible. The neatly organized search result groupings make it less overwhelming to sift through results from Genesis to Revelation. Many of my posts feature keywords in turquoise that link to the search results at BlueLetterBible. Here’s an example: Jesus is Savior and Lord.

What the Bible Says About Hell

This is not an exhaustive list but a gathering of scripture related to hell . Links are provided for each to see it in full chapter context / other translations / and for deeper searches. Deuteronomy 32 22 For a fire has been kindled by My anger, and it burns to the depths of Sheol; it consumes the earth and its produce, and scorches the foundations of the mountains. Job 24 19 As drought and heat consume the melting snow, so Sheol steals those who have sinned. 20 The womb forgets them; the worm feeds on them; they are remembered no more. So injustice is like a broken tree. Song of Solomon 8:6 Set me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as unrelenting as Sheol. Its sparks are fiery flames, the fiercest blaze of all. Ezekiel 18:30-32 Therefore, O house of Israel, I will judge you, each according to his ways, declares the Lord GOD. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, so that your iniquity will not become your downfall. ...

What the Bible Says About Sexual Purity

This is not a complete list, but a gathering of scripture related to sexual immorality and  purity . Links (tap anything turquoise) are provided for further searching and study. Comments welcome. God created sex for marriage between one man and one woman, for life. The devil has been trying to pervert it in every way possible, and the scriptures warn us that sin, although it is pleasurable for a season, when it is full grown it leads to death ( James 1:15 ). Scripture specifically calls out homosexuality as an abomination, and Jesus in Matthew ch 5 calls out lust in the heart as bad as actual adultery. Both deeds were punishable by death under the Old Testament law ( Leviticus 18 and 20 ), and Jesus warns in Matthew 5 that lust will take someone to hell. God wants us to live, and only in Christ is there life. We need Him every day to help us walk by the Spirit instead of the misdeeds of the flesh, being cleansed by Him and abiding in Him. Galatians 5 16 So I say, walk by the Spi...
