In short
The site separates public-domain Scripture text from original editorial material, encourages context, identifies limitations, and provides a clear correction path.
Purpose
Show Me a Bible Passage is designed to help people read Scripture rather than merely collect isolated quotations. The random generator, daily passage, topic collections, and reading guides all point readers toward larger passages and full chapters.
Scripture text
Quoted Scripture on the site is from the World English Bible, Protestant Edition (WEBP), a public-domain English translation with the 66-book Protestant canon. Scripture wording is kept separate from editorial explanations so readers can distinguish the biblical text from site commentary.
Editorial notes
Context notes and reading guides are written specifically for this website. They aim to describe literary and immediate context in plain language and to avoid presenting denominationally disputed interpretations as if they were universally agreed.
Corrections
If a passage appears to have a transcription error, a broken chapter link, or an editorial note that is unclear, readers can report it through the Contact page. Reports should include the page URL and Bible reference so the issue can be checked efficiently.
Limits
This website is a reading aid, not a church, seminary, counseling service, or source of personalized spiritual authority. Topic pages should not be used to diagnose medical or mental-health conditions or to replace professional care.
Updates
Pages are reviewed when passages, links, site features, or explanations change. Update dates on editorial guides indicate the most recent substantive review of that page.
Authorship and AI assistance
Editorial pages are attributed to Show Me a Bible Passage as the publishing organization. The site does not present an anonymous organizational byline as evidence of academic qualifications. AI tools assisted the drafting and restructuring of the September 2026 content expansion. No named scholar’s or pastor’s review is claimed. Where a reader needs a tradition-specific or scholarly treatment, the reading guides are an introduction rather than a final authority.
Sources and interpretive boundaries
The linked WEBP chapters are the primary texts for the reading exercises and passage notes. Scripture blocks are kept distinct from our summaries and prayers. A summary in a guide is not a replacement translation. When discussing a passage, we identify its speaker, audience, literary form, or surrounding argument when those details matter to the explanation.
We distinguish a statement the text makes from an inference about it and from a present-day application. Historical background should not be invented to make a lesson more persuasive. A disputed interpretation should be identified as such rather than attributed to all Christians. Topic labels help readers find material, but they do not determine the original meaning of the text. Readers should be able to follow the links and evaluate the explanation themselves.
What to include in a correction request
Use the Contact page and include the page address, the Bible reference, the wording in question, and the source or reason for the proposed correction. Please distinguish a transcription error from a disagreement over interpretation. Both can deserve attention, but they require different kinds of checking. Avoid sending sensitive personal details when a page address and a short explanation will suffice.
The publication does not promise a fixed response time. A substantive revision should update the page’s displayed date and its article metadata together. Small presentation changes do not imply a new scholarly review. The September 17, 2026 revision expanded topic context, reading exercises, publication transparency, and four guides on literary reading.
Advertising and editorial independence
Advertising is separate from Scripture and editorial explanation. The presence of an ad does not mean the publication recommends its product, agrees with its message, or used it as a source. Editorial links to full chapters are reading references. Ad controls and personal-data disclosures are addressed in the Privacy page. Advertising does not change which translation is identified beside a quotation.
