Bible App names UK's favourite verses

It says: "For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Across the whole world, Romans 12:12 was the most searched-for verse with the app.

A map is available online showing what the most popular verse is in specific countries.

Since its creation, the Bible App's been downloaded more than 162 million times. There's been significant use by people in countries where physical Bibles are hard to get or culturally condemned.

Bobby Gruenewald, the owner of the company which created the Bible App, said: "What's interesting to me is that several of those countries are definitely not majority Christian.

"And in some cases, the Bible isn't that accessible or isn't considered to be acceptable culturally.

"We really believe that this generation could become the most Bible-engaged generation in history."

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
