Read Bible Verses

Read Bible Verses everyday from both Old Testament & New Testament and get the Holy Blessings from the Trinity.

New Testament, John Chapter 3, Verse 16-18

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Old Testament, Jeremiah Chapter 29, Verse 11-14

For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare, not for woe! plans to give you a future full of hope. When you call me, when you go to pray to me, I will listen to you. When you look for me, you will find me. Yes, when you seek me with all your heart, you will find me with you, says the LORD, and I will change your lot; I will gather you together from all the nations and all the places to which I have banished you, says the LORD.

புதிய ஏற்பாடு, உரோமையர், அதிகாரம் 8, வசனம் 28-29

மேலும், கடவுளிடம் அன்பு கூர்பவர்களோடு, அதாவது அவரது திட்டத்திற்கேற்ப அழைக்கப்பட்டவர்களோடு, அவர்கள் நன்மைக்காகவே ஆவியார் அனைத்திலும் ஒத்துழைக்கிறார் என்பது நமக்கு தெரியும். தம்மால் முன்பே தேர்ந்து கொள்ளப்பட்டவர்கள் தம் மகனின் சாயலுக்கேற்றவாறு இருக்க வேண்டுமெனக் கடவுள் முன்குறித்து வைத்தார்; அச்சகோதரர் சகோதரிகள் பலருள் தம் மகன் தலைப்பேறானவராய் இருக்க வேண்டுமென்றே இப்படிச் செய்தார்.

New Testament, Phillippians Chapter 4, Verse 13-16

I have the strength for everything through him who empowers me. Still, it was kind of you to share in my distress. You Philippians indeed know that at the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, not a single church shared with me in an account of giving and receiving, except you alone. For even when I was at Thessalonica you sent me something for my needs, not only once but more than once.

பழைய ஏற்பாடு, தொடக்கநூல், அதிகாரம் 1, வசனம் 1-5

தொடக்கத்தில் கடவுள் விண்ணுலகையும் மண்ணுலகையும் படைத்தார். மண்ணுலகு உருவற்று வெறுமையாக இருந்தது. ஆழத்தின் மீது இருள் பரவியிருந்தது. நீர்த்திரளின் மேல் கடவுளின் ஆவி அசைந்தாடிக் கொண்டிருந்தது. அப்பொழுது கடவுள் "ஒளி தோன்றுக! " என்றார். ஒளி தோன்றிற்று. கடவுள் ஒளி நல்லது என்று கண்டார். கடவுள் ஒளியையும் இருளையும் வெவ்வேறாகப் பிரித்தார். கடவுள் ஒளிக்குப் பகல் என்றும் இருளுக்கு இரவு என்றும் பெயரிட்டார். மாலையும் காலையும் நிறைவுற்று முதல் நாள் முடிந்தது.
