The Daily Verse is a free SMS service that delivers a Bible verse to your phone every day. Pick your translation, choose your time, and wake up to Scripture. No app required.
How Bible Verse Texting Works
Sign up at getdailyverse.com with just your phone number. Choose between the King James Version or American Standard Version. Select your preferred delivery time. Starting the next day, you will receive one text message containing a Bible verse at the time you chose.
Why Get Bible Verses by Text?
Apps get buried in folders. Emails get lost in inboxes. Push notifications get swiped away. But a text message sits in your messages until you read it. That is why SMS has a 95%+ open rate, higher than any other channel.
There is no app to update, no storage to use, no battery to drain. Text messaging works on every phone ever made. Whether you carry the latest iPhone or a basic flip phone, you can receive daily Scripture.
What Makes This Service Different
Most "daily verse" services are actually apps, email newsletters, or social media accounts. The few that offered real SMS delivery have shut down or moved to platforms like Discord. The Daily Verse is one of the only remaining services that texts Bible verses directly to your phone via SMS.
We also let you choose your exact delivery time down to the half hour, offer multiple reading modes (random, sequential, or both), and support two trusted translations. There is no premium tier. Every feature is free.
Available Translations
We offer two time-tested, public domain translations:
- King James Version (KJV): Published in 1611, the most widely printed Bible in history. Known for its literary beauty and enduring influence on the English language.
- American Standard Version (ASV): Published in 1901, valued for its literal accuracy and careful translation from original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts.
Reading Modes
- Random: A different verse each day, selected from across all 66 books. Great for daily encouragement and discovering new passages.
- Cover to Cover: Read through the Bible sequentially from Genesis to Revelation, one verse per day.
- Both: Receive two texts daily, one random and one from your sequential reading plan.
