Galatians 5:22 Fruit of the Spirit Wall Decal–$36 Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man.

Buy the downloadable version , all formatted for you, so that you don’t have to fiddle around. Just print, cut, and you’ve got them! Available in NKJV and ESV . Buy them already printed and cut, and have them mailed to you. Available in the NKJV and ESV (with more versions coming soon!). (All proceeds go towards our 2014 medical missions trip). Here’s the Downloadable Version (Choose NKJV or ESV ) ($1.99), or the Physical Cards in either NKJV or ESV (starting at $7.50 for one set, but the price goes drastically down if you buy more than 1!) Bigger challenges: If you want to memorize whole chapters, here are my top 5: Isaiah 53 Psalm 23 1 Corinthians 13 John 15 Psalm 139 These chapters are all important; I have left them out of the top 50 verses because I couldn’t choose just one or two verses from any of them. The whole thing is great. So if you’re up for a family challenge, memorize a chapter. Look at it this way: if you spend one year memorizing the fifty verses, and the next year reviewing those fifty and memorizing a chapter, and then go back to those fifty verses again to make sure you have them down, and then the next year go back and do a different chapter, and so on, over the course of ten years you’ll have 50 verses and 5 chapters so committed to memory there is no way anyone could ever forget it. And I think knowing fewer verses, but knowing them inside and out, is sometimes more beneficial in the long run than trying to make yourself learn a verse a day or something. So print this out and use it with your family! Now, here are just the references if you want to copy and paste: 1. Isaiah 9:6 2. Isaiah 40:28 3. Genesis 1:1 4. John 3:16-17 5. Romans 3:23 6.

This is great and motivates me to work with my family on memorizing the Word! Donna @ Way More Homemade January 31, 2011 >What a wonderful list, Sheila. Thank you for posting it. I will copy this and probably work through the list with my family. The Happy Domestic January 31, 2011 >Thank you Sheila. As much as I love reading your blog regularly, the Word of God speaks for itself. Just reading the Word is like eating Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings – delightful and satisfying. Jo Princess Warrior January 31, 2011 >Great list – thank you! Mary R. January 31, 2011 >An elderly pastor once told me that scripture memorization among people took a nosedive once all the different translations of the Bible came out (he admitted he must have 40 different translations on his own bookshelf). Before, when everybody used the King James (which is easy to memorize because the old language is melodic), everybody memorized scripture the same way. Now it is confusing with everybody using a different translation, and many of them written so the verses are hard to memorize. Memorization is a good thing. Mary R. January 31, 2011 >Sheila, may I copy this and put it on my blog and make a link back to yours? Anonymous January 31, 2011 >Thanks Sheila. Just so you know though, there are only 49 verses on your list. On the condensed list at the bottom of the page, number 41 says Confession/ Temptation. This prompted me to count the verses you have provided and sure enough, 49 wonderful verses! sarahe January 31, 2011 >Great list! i give the girls i disciple memory verses each time we meet and several are on here. & i really love the 2 Tim. 3:16 verse– something that I learned during my religious studies classes in college that is so helpful is that of course when 2 Tim was written the only scripture it was referring to was the Old Testament as the New Testament had not yet been compiled. Of course we can apply it to the NT as well, but that is really useful information for anyone who questions the use and validity of the Old Testament. Sheila January 31, 2011 >Anonymous: Thank you!!! I missed that. I added another verse, and now there really are 50! Mary, youre welcome to use this list as long as you link to my blog and say something lovely about how amazing I am! Tessa January 31, 2011 >Love this. Totally what Ive been looking for and now its from a source I know and trust. Ive been making a daily commitment to read the whole Bible in a year (it really only ends up being 15min per day) and I wanted to add memorization to it but didnt have a clue where to start. So Im going to print it out and put it on my index cards and dive in. As soon as I get some paper in my printer… Thanks so much for all the awesome posts! sandeep October 1, 2013 serching bible verses for students i got few good verses thankes joy /peace Herding Grasshoppers February 1, 2011 >Sheila, Youre so encouraging! 50 verses can sound like a lot, but one a week is very do-able. Were working on a chapter now, but Ill probably come back to your list. Didnt you post (quite a while ago) your system for memory verses and review? I seem to remember 3×5 cards in a series of piles, but not how it worked. Could you link to it, in your post? Thanks! Julie Sheila February 1, 2011 >Tessa, Thanks for your kind words! And Julie, thanks for remembering that post! I just checked, and its over a year old now! But yes, if you want a system to memorize things and make sure that they stay in memory, read this post: tolovehonorandvacuum.blogspot/2010/01/ works-for-me- wednesday-bible- memory.html Happy memorizing! Jimmie February 1, 2011 >Nice list! (found you via Twitter) I have linked to this on Benefits of Copywork to help folks looking for scripture for copywork. Amanda February 1, 2011 >These are great! Thank you for posting them. Amanda Anonymous February 4, 2011 >Thank you for posting this list, Sheila. I think that if you memorize verses, you can call them to mind to give you strength. For me, 2010 was a challenging year, and there were days that the words of Philippians 4:13 helped keep me going tiffany@tea with tiffany February 8, 2011 >Always good to remember Gods Word. Im doing the memory verses with the Siestas online with Beth Moore. I actually think I missed the one for Feb. 1st. Great tool here. Thanks for sharing, Sheila. Hugs from the arctic zone of Colorado.. Tiffany Amber from Missouri April 16, 2011 >I have been studying this and it has really helped me know gods word better.. For how many verses are in the bible 50 may not seem like much but they are very great verses and definately work on the heart Thank You So Much J (Hot, Holy & Humorous) October 10, 2011 What a fabulous idea, Sheila! Scripture memorization is an integral part of our children’s program at our church – which I love. In addition to those we-should-all-know- them verses, it’s good to memorize a few that speak specifically to you. Among my favorite verses is Isaiah 43:2-3a – “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.” I need a reminder at times that God has not promised a lack of hardship, but His constant presence and security when we are in distress. Thanks for this great post! CJ November 12, 2011 I have made a website with several resources to help memorize popular bible verses: www ..jacksonlearning. Under “Top 100 Bible Verses” you can memorize the text of popular verses; under “Memorize Texts” you can learn entire books of the bible, and the “Multi- Choice Quizzes” section has a bible verse quiz also. Hope this helps. Time and time again I’ve been surprised at how much my understanding of somethign improves when I commit it to memory. Rachael December 6, 2011 Wow, excited I found this list! I used to work at memorizing verses regularly, but I”m out of the habit. I should get back in it! Alas, I might be home full time, but its so easy to get really busy just doing things that time in the Word gets relegated to “when I have time”. Got to change that. Rachael recently posted… Sweatshirt Saga continues, and slipper goofs Jerry Walters January 10, 2012 I want to give someone a book as a gift. The book would have listed in it the top 100 most often memorized or quoted verses in the Bible. Does such a book exist? Sheila January 10, 2012 I’m not sure if it does yet! But I’m going to be publishing one like that this year, I hope! Brent February 12, 2012 Thank you for posting! I lead a 7th grade boys small group (about 25 boys). I was looking for a list I could use to challenge them this year on a memory verse contest. I pick one a week from your list and send it out to my guys…. We are 6 weeks in and it has been great so far. Thanks again! Paulina March 21, 2012 Thank you for sharing this list with others. I liked that you put both the verse and the reference because somethimes you only find the references but can’t actually read them. Let me tell you that when I started memorizing bible verses I have trouble knowing where to start (I was also “new” to the bible so I needed some direction) and this list would’ve been very helpful. I now know most of these (though I copy 3 or four to my list) but for someone starting this is an amazing list. Elizabeth March 21, 2012 Thank you! I’m pinning and encouraging the young parents in our church to take notice. Sheila March 21, 2012 Glad you still found the post, Elizabeth! I realized this was going viral on Pinterest, and decided I had better have a picture from the Creative Commons rather than the one I had before. So glad you still recognized it! francine howell May 8, 2012 Thank you for sharing these verses…love your blog plan to visit again! :0) Melinda May 14, 2012 Thank you for this list. I copied it and printed it off, and we have been adding a memory verse to our home school studies. We’ve been adding one verse a week, while we keep repeating the ones we’ve learned. We’re up to our fourth verse now. Thank you. Hugs, Melinda Melinda recently posted… Family day robin williams June 3, 2012 So far you must have tried various methods to memorize Bible verses, but sometimes we are not able to remember it correctly. One of my friends gave me an excellent idea to memorize the Bible verses. He showed me his android phone to which he had downloaded an application which puts holy verses on your phone wallpaper. What is more amazing is that the verses keep on changing after some time. In today’s world everyone keeps their phone with themselves every time, so whenever you see your phone you see a verse. What could be more better way to memorize the verses other than this. The application can be downloaded from the link https:// play.google/store/ apps/details? id=com.nbs.free.goodfriday to your android phone. You can send the verse as a message to your friend or post the verse to your friend’s facebook wall. What could be more better way to share the Word Of The Lord. God bless us all. Deen June 15, 2012 Thank you so much for this list especially the complete chapters that you have pointed out… Im trying to come back to the Lord and get to know him better and you gave me a great place to start!!! Thanks!! God bless you!!! Sebastian June 23, 2012 It helps a lot, and maybe is the best way, to memorize listening to music, specially if the music is word for word, verbatim. There is a band that has the Bible in songs, and it’s unique in that the author has been working in the songs for over 35 years and have a high quality. This is the website: abunoahiii Dale C June 27, 2012 Hello Shelia, what a great idea, I am excited about starting to memorizing these scriptures..

Thanks so much! Jamie August 8, 2012 I Pin’d this!! Glenda de Vries September 7, 2012 I just want to respond to the person who thinks Sheila MUST use the KJV. Don’t you think our God is bigger than that? Sheila September 7, 2012 Hi Glenda! Thanks! And for those wondering what Glenda’s talking about, I deleted a pretty nasty comment today! I want this blog post to be one that builds families up and encourages them to immerse themselves in the Word of God, not a post that bashes anybody. So honestly, if you write comments that bash people, I will gleefully delete them! Brenda Brown September 13, 2012 This was great & very helpful. Anthony Ramirez
