What this tool searches

One translation, clear scope

This search covers all 31,098 nonempty verse records in the 66-book public-domain WEB Classic corpus. It does not search other translations, study notes, headings, or books outside this canon. Exact phrase mode follows this translation’s words; all-words mode may find the same terms in any order within one verse.

A result is a place to begin reading. Follow its chapter link for the speaker, audience, and surrounding argument before drawing a conclusion from one line. Verse numbering and wording can differ across translations. See our source and translation notes.
