Q&A for How to Memorize a Bible Verse

Ask God to help you. Also, making a song out of the verse can be helpful.

You should not give yourself time constraints when learning the Bible, but if really necessary, ask God to grant you wisdom. Also, do not panic. It's much easier to remember things if you can stay relaxed.

Break up the verse. Remember one section of it, then add another section, and read it over and over. You can do one sentence at a time. Just break up the long verse.

It depends on the person. Some people have amazing memories and only need to read the verse once. Others (like me) sometimes need days or even weeks of repetitive readings to fully memorize a verse.

Read the verses as much as you can. Spend fifteen minutes reading them, then trying to see if you've read them enough that they stick in your mind. You can also practice saying them out loud over and over again -- hearing yourself repeat the verses will help them stick.

You might want to split it up and memorize them separately first, then try to join them together.

Try writing it out several times, then read it out loud. Or write it on a white board, read it several times, and then ask a friend to erase a word when your back is turned. Keep doing it until there are no more words and you get the verse right!

Read them over a few times and then recite them quietly to yourself without looking. Do this daily for five, ten or fifteen minutes. After you do this, then put together the whole thing.

Start with the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the New Testament). Read at least one chapter each day. Then, pick a spot where you want to read and continue the cycle.

It depends on your faith and what you believe. Some people believe that God influences every part of life and should be constantly kept in mind, while others do not. You have to decide for yourself.

My preference is not just memorizing verses, but chapters. I have weekly goals, such as 2 verses per day. There is no easy way, it is just repetition and perseverance. Sometimes it takes me a whole month to to one Psalm. Even when I have memorized the Psalm, I have to keep on reciting it daily for a week or two to lodge it in my memory, and then I have to recite it weekly to keep it there.

You can't plan a length of time to memorize a verse. However, a verse that is nice and short can be memorized in no time. Longer verses will take a little bit more time.

You could make it into a song or write it down on an index card, and when you get to a comma, look at it and then flip it over and repeat and look if you have to. A good one to make a song is Romans 8:28 as they did in the movie Lost In Silver Canyon, or Ephesians 2:8-9 (the way my teacher taught us that one is: "For by grace are ye save through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast"). Then go back and add "For by grace are ye saved through faith" to end the song.

Personally, I believe there is no easy way out except if you read in between the lines and then try saying it offhand a couple of times without looking into the scriptures. But if you really want to know a verse, I'll recommended searching for a story to back up the verse. You are more likely to remember it if there is a story line behind it.

It will take hard work and lots of time. There are 66 books in the Bible, and assuming you memorize 2 verses per book, that is 132 verses. Just take it one verse at a time, and don't get discouraged!

You should be able to memorize all verses of the bible in whatever language you know, and the method for memorization doesn't change. Just know how to say it in the language you need to.

You could write the verses out in bright colors, make it look fancy or draw little pictures to go with it. You could also make a cool poster or drawing and hang it in your room. There are lots of ideas you can use.

Read one chapter a day. When you get up in the morning, review the chapter you learned the day before. Read through each chapter, then work on the hard parts and find ways that will help you memorize them, like little landmarks in words. You can use hand motions, too, or make a song out of it. See if a friend of family member will let you read the chapters aloud to them.

Take it step by step. Don't read just to finish the books but to understand them. I would advise you to download preachings by Derrick Prince, a teacher of the Word who can explain the Bible in detail.

Yes. It's good having them recite it aloud to you, but also having them write it down.

Write out the Bible verse(s) on a piece of paper/sticky note and put it on your bathroom mirror. That way, every time you use the bathroom, brush your teeth, etc., you will see the verse. Read it over multiple times a day consistently.

That is not possible. It is best to take it in smaller bites, like one or two verses a day. Just read them over and over again in the morning and then throughout the day. Keep repeating them in your mind until you can easily remember them off the top of your head. Review them again at night. Do the same every day until you know all 30.

It doesn't matter when or where you pray. The Bible says to "pray without ceasing", so even when you are in a place with noisy people everywhere, you can still pray. Just think your prayer, without bothering to say it aloud because God can read your mind and knows everything you ever thought in your life.

Having the students repeat the verses after you in class can help improve their grasp. Hearing their own voice out loud can help them learn faster. Adding a rhythm to the learning can also promote quick memorization.

Strength increases with faith. Allow your days to test you. Hold your chin up. Praise God for keeping you strong instead of wondering if you are strong because your strength is used every day. Try to earn more by giving a portion to those in need and in charity. Giving helps open minds, making more than before.

Your communication with the Lord is spiritually transmitted. You don't need to worry or contemplate about what's going on in the outside. Just sit, close your eyes, and pray spiritually. Focus and it will come to you. At first it may be annoying to focus, however, as you move on, you will get there.

Begin by praying to ask God to help you be calm and prepared. Then read the verse to yourself, and recite it out loud. You may want to do this alone, or have someone with you to listen as you memorize the verse. If you are allowed to have a visual aid, write the verse down on a note card and have it with you when you are called to recite the verse.

If you can't memorise, understand and paraphrase for your reference. You can't paraphrase in your own words for a test or for quoting as they are done with the exact words. However, understanding their application can help you learn. Get printouts, like in a story line, to depict how the verses were made for easy understanding.

Memorizing does not place stress on understanding it. You can simply recite a few lines and get away with not knowing what it means if all you need do is memorize. However, meditating on the scripture has an impact on your spirit and mind. You experience it in you in your own way, the way you open yourself to experience. Experience helps you gain a better understanding than merely being able to say it or reproduce it blankly out of memory.

There are many apps and online tutorials. Search them up online in fewer words like, 'whiteboard verse study' or anything you like to be directed to websites and other tools.
