About

VersesWithContext

Read full description

Create, save, and share your favorite Bible verses in ESV! This app was design so that you can share Bible verses in a way that's deep, yet approachable. Instead of sending a wall of text, send verses in groups that make sharing scripture more approachable! When others open a shared verse they see the initial verse you had in mind. Then if they want to see the other verses for each group you've created, they can select the dropdown for each group and see more! Here are some example use cases: - Example 1 - John 3:16 is a great verse. After reading that verse, there might be a section below titled, "More context". This section could have John 3:16-18 for those who want to see the passage with some more depth after reading just the verse. And if you want to add even more depth, you can add a section called, "Full context". That section might have John 3:1-21 for those who want to understand the meaning of the passage in the context of the story being told. - Example 2 - You can also add verses that are related. For example: John 3:21 might be the first verse (that talks about the truth coming to light). And in the next section, you could add the verse Ephesians 5:14 (that talks about how Christ is the light that shines on us). ----- Disclaimer: App Clip codes that are generated within the app can only be a maximum of 194 characters. Any additional length will not be included in the App Clip and won't be sharable. To prevent this, try to keep the group titles as short as necessary and considering breaking up many verse groups into separate verse groupings to create shorter sharable App Clip links.
