Bible Quotes

Many everyday sayings started as Bible quotes. People still talk about the golden rule, the truth setting you free, and pride going before a fall, often without knowing they are quoting Scripture. This page collects some of the most memorable lines in the Bible, the short and striking sayings that have shaped speeches, songs, books and family traditions for centuries. They come from every part of the Bible: the wisdom of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, the poetry of the Psalms, the prophets, and the words of Jesus and his apostles. Each one is quoted in the King James Version, whose phrasing gave English many of its best-known expressions. Use these Bible quotes for a card, a caption, a sermon illustration or a note on the fridge. Tap share on any quote to save it as an image with its reference, so the words always point back to where they came from.
