Can I get random verses from only the well-known parts of the Bible?

Yes. The Range slider on the homepage narrows the draw from all 31,102 verses down to as few as the 100 best-known, and anywhere in between. Every verse inside the range is equally likely, so the draw stays truly random — over a smaller part of Scripture.

How does TrulyRandomVerse decide which Bible verses are best known?

Every verse is ranked by the community votes on the OpenBible.info cross-references it appears in — how often readers look it up, and how often other passages are tied back to it. Jeremiah 29:11 and John 3:16 rank in the top five; genealogies and census lists sit near the end of the 31,102.

Does the verse range work with different Bible translations?

Yes. The ranking is keyed to the KJV verse numbering and mapped to every supported translation, including editions whose numbering differs from the KJV. A verse a translation leaves blank is skipped rather than shown empty.

The Chapter 1 Corinthians 3

1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
