About This Tool
A random Bible verse generator is one of the simplest ways to engage with scripture daily — no reading plan, no pressure, just one verse to sit with. Many believers use it as a devotional starting point: receive the verse, pray over it, and carry it into the day.
ScriptureGen's generator indexes every verse in the Protestant Bible and selects one at random with equal probability. You are just as likely to receive a verse from Obadiah as from John — which can lead you to corners of scripture you would never find through normal reading.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a random Bible verse generator?
A random Bible verse generator is a tool that selects a scripture passage at random from the entire Bible canon. It is used for daily devotions, prayer prompts, Bible study discovery, and sharing encouraging verses. ScriptureGen covers all 31,102 verses of the Protestant Bible.
Which books of the Bible are included?
All 66 books of the Protestant Bible are included — from Genesis to Revelation. That is 39 Old Testament books and 27 New Testament books. You can also filter by section: Old Testament, New Testament, Gospels, Psalms, Paul's Letters, and more.
What Bible translation are the verses from?
Random verses are drawn from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), a modern and accurate public-domain translation. The BSB reads clearly while staying close to the original Greek and Hebrew texts. You can also open any verse in the NIV on YouVersion.
Can I use a random Bible verse generator for group devotionals?
Yes. The random generator works well for groups — one person clicks, and everyone reads the same verse together. For a shared daily verse, visit the Verse of the Day page, which shows the same verse to all visitors on a given day.
Is there a way to get a random Bible verse about a specific topic?
Yes — ScriptureGen has curated topic pages for anxiety, love, faith, hope, strength, grief, healing, peace, marriage, depression, and forgiveness. Each topic page shows 15–50 handpicked verses with editorial context.
