A well-known Christian ministry wanted to know the top 10 Bible verses in the world. They had AI bots study “searched verses” in major search engines, and they came up with the following results.
Okay, let’s make this more interesting.
I will give you the verses without the references (but with them listed below). Let’s see how many you know. I got all of them right, but when I took the test, I had both the written verses and the references — so I don’t count.
Let’s see your Biblical chops below…
- Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
- Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
- For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
- For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
- Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
- The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
- I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
- For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
- Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
- And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
- In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
- For you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
- For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.

How did you do? My esteemed editor, Sharon, said she got 7 right. She said she needs a serious review!
Wow! John 3:16 is by far and away the most popular Bible verse in the world! I was blessed by just reading these 13 verses, even without the references.
They are powerful!
Note: I haven’t given you the answers by placing the above numbers with their corresponding verses at the end of this blog because it would take a lot of time; doing so would exceed the 500-word count for this blog, and you need to grow spiritually by looking them up!
