How it works

This page sets a Bible verse as lettering: 31 short verses, each with its reference on the last line, in eight faces, six of them scripts and hands. The text is the World English Bible, a public-domain translation, unchanged.

Read the full guide

Scripture lettering, verse by verse

Next verse steps through the list in the order of the books, from Genesis 1:1 to 1 John 4:19. Twenty-six are whole verses. Five are one sentence or clause of a longer verse, and their last line says so: from Joshua 1:9. The World English Bible prints the divine name as Yahweh, and the page keeps it.

Faith lettering in a few words

After the verses come six short texts: Faith Hope Love on three lines, then Amen, Rejoice, Mercy, Hallelujah and Praise. A single word fills the board. Under More options, eight tiles change the face, Decoration adds a swash, a frame or sparkles, and Background has old paper and a chalkboard.

A verse takes four lines and 120 characters with its reference, which is why the long verses are not here.
On Every line full width, under Shape, a short reference line is drawn larger than a long verse line.

Questions and answers

Which translation are the verses from?

The World English Bible, a modern English translation in the public domain, published at ebible.org. Every verse here was compared with that text character by character. Nothing is reworded, and each verse keeps its reference.
