Best Bible Verses to Write by Hand: 12 Short Passages to Start
BiblesClick ·
If you want to begin handwriting Scripture, short verses are the best place to start. These twelve passages are brief, well known and easy to copy in one sitting.
From the beginning
Genesis 1:1 — the opening line of the Bible. Genesis 1:3 — the words that bring light. Both are short and memorable first verses to write.
From the Psalms
Psalm 23:1, Psalm 46:10, Psalm 119:105 and Psalm 121:1-2 are short and full of comfort. Psalm 119:105 calls God's word a lamp to the feet and a light to the path.
From Proverbs
Proverbs 3:5-6 on trust, Proverbs 4:23 on guarding the heart, and Proverbs 16:3 on committing your work are practical verses for daily life.
From the Torah
Numbers 6:24-26, the priestly blessing, and Deuteronomy 6:4-5 are central passages that many readers copy and keep.
From the Song of Songs
Song of Songs 8:7 speaks of love that many waters cannot quench, a beautiful line for careful lettering.
