WHY MEMORIZE? — The reasons are old and good. Memorized Scripture is available when the printed Bible is not — in the dark of night, in the hospital bed, in the hour of decision, in the prison cell. It is the Spirit's instrument: "I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you" (Ps 119:11). It transforms the mind: "be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Rom 12:2). It feeds the soul: "your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart" (Jer 15:16). It arms the believer: when Christ was tempted in the wilderness, his answer in every case was "It is written" — not paraphrased, but quoted (Matt 4:1–11).

HOW THIS PAGE WORKS — Your library is yours. On your first visit, the page seeds it with ninety-one carefully selected ASV verses to give you something to work with — you can keep them, edit them, or clear them entirely. Use + Add verse to add a new verse you are committing to memory, with the text in whatever translation you prefer. Use Import pack to add one of the bundled reference packs — Fighter Verses (Bethlehem College & Seminary's five-year program, 170+ refs), the Navigators Topical Memory System (60 refs), or a curated Core 30 — which add references with empty text fields you fill in from your own Bible.

Four practice modes: Read for first acquaintance, First-Letter for transitional recall (each word reduced to its initial letter), Recall for full memory testing, Browse to see and edit all verses in the selected category. Verses you mark "I knew it" cycle out to longer review intervals (10 minutes → 1 day → 4 days → 2 weeks). Verses you mark "Need review" come back sooner. Use Backup / restore to export your library as JSON — recommended occasionally so you don't lose your work if browser data is cleared.

"Your word I have hid in my heart, that I might not sin against you." — Psalm 119:11
