Scripture Verse Ideas

A number of Bible passages have already been made into Custom Scripture Bracelets: 

The Beatitudes
MATTHEW 5:1-11
1 When Jesus - saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. 2 Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying: 3 ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit (brown), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 ‘Blessed are those who mourn (black), for they will be comforted. 5 ‘Blessed are the meek (light purple), for they will inherit the earth. 6 ‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (white), for they will be filled. 7 ‘Blessed are the merciful (pink), for they will receive mercy. 8 ‘Blessed are the pure (clear) in heart, for they will see God. 9 ‘Blessed are the peacemakers (white), for they will be called children of God. 10 ‘Blessed are those who are persecuted (grey) for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 ‘Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

JEREMIAH 29:11-13
11 I know the plans (white) I have for you," announces the Lord (purple). "I want you to enjoy success (blue). I do not plan to harm (black) you. I will give you hope (green) for the years to come. 12 Then you will call out to me. You will come and pray (light blue) to me. And I will listen to you. 13 When you look (clear) for me with all your heart (red), you will find me.

PSALM 139:13-16
13 You (clear) created the deepest parts of my being. You put me together inside my mother's body. 14 How you made me is amazing (blue) and wonderful (red). I praise (purple) you for that. What you have done is wonderful. I know that very well. 15 None of my bones (white) was hidden from you when you made me inside my mother's body. That place was as dark (black) as the deepest parts of the earth (brown). When you were putting me together there, 16 your eyes saw my body even before it was formed. You planned how many days I would live (yellow). You wrote down the number of them in your book before I had lived through even one of them.

I CORINTHIANS 13
1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love (red), I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal (yellow). 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains (brown), but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames (orange), but have not love, I gain nothing. 4 Love (red) is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil (black) but rejoices with the truth (white).  7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,  10 but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.  11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.  12 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.  13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love (red).

PSALM 95
1 Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock (gray) of our salvation. 2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. 3 For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods. 4 In his hand are the depths of the earth (brown), and the mountain peaks (white) belong to him. 5 The sea (blue) is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. 6 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker; 7 for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture (green), the flock (white) under his care. Today, if you hear his voice, 8 do not harden your hearts (red) as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the desert (yellow), 9 where your fathers tested and tried me, though they had seen what I did. 10 For forty years I was angry with that generation; I said, "They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known my ways." 11 So I declared on oath in my anger, "They shall never enter my rest."

ROMANS 8:28-39
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love (red) him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. 31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died (brown)—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep (white) to be slaughtered." 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death (black) nor life, neither angels (yellow) nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love (red) of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

ECCLESIASTES 3:1-11
1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven (yellow): 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant (green) and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep (blue) and a time to laugh, a time to mourn (black) and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones (grey) and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, 6 a time to search (clear) and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love (red) and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace (white). 9 What does the worker gain from his toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

The Wife of Noble Character
PROVERBS 31:10-31
10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies (red). 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. 14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. 15 She gets up while it is still dark (black); she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. 16 She considers a field (green) and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. 18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp (yellow) does not go out at night . 19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. 20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. 21 When it snows (white), she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet (red). 22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple (purple). 23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. 24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. 25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. 26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. 27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread (brown) of idleness. 28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 29 "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. 31 Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

JAMES 1:2-12
Consider it pure joy (purple), my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith (lt blue) develops perseverance (brown). Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt (grey), because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea (blue), blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like the wild flower. For the sun (yellow) rises with scorching heat and withers the plant (green); its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fad away even while he goes about his business. Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love (red) him.

PHILIPPIANS 4:4-8
4Rejoice (purple) in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness (pink) be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious (grey) about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving (brown), present your requests to God. 7And the peace (white) of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts (red) and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true (white), whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure (clear), whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

ISAIAH 40:26-31
26 Lift your eyes and look to the heavens (blue): Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host (yellow) one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. 27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel, "My way is hidden (black) from the LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God"? 28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD (clear) is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth (brown). He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. 29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles (white); they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

PHILIPPIANS 4:8
8 Finally, my brothers (blue) and sisters (pink), always think about what is true (white). Think about what is noble, right and pure (clear). Think about what is lovely (yellow) and worthy of respect. If anything is excellent (blue) or worthy of praise (purple), think about those kinds of things.

ROMANS 8: 14-23
14 because those who are led by the Spirit (white) of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear (grey), but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings (brown) in order that we may also share in his glory (yellow). 18 I consider that our present sufferings (brown) are not worth comparing with the glory (yellow) that will be revealed in us. 19 The creation (green) waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay (black) and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit (white), groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

JOHN 14: 1-6
1 "Do not let your hearts (red) be troubled (grey). Trust (white) in God; trust also in me. 2 In my Father's house (yellow) are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going." 5 Thomas said to him, "Lord (clear), we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" 6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth (white) and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

PSALM 91
1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow (grey) of the Almighty. 2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4He shall cover thee with his feathers (white), and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night (black); nor for the arrow that flieth by day (yellow); 6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness (black); nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11For he shall give his angels (white) charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone (grey). 13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14Because he hath set his love (red) upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

JOHN 17:1-5
1 Jesus (white) spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven (blue), He said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify (yellow) You, 2 even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life (green).  3 "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God (clear), and Jesus Christ (white) whom You have sent.  4 "I glorified You on the earth (brown), having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.   5 "Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory (yellow) which I had with You before the world was.
