CiteBible · World English Bible

Scripture for the thing you are carrying.

Say it plainly. It will be met, not tidied.

What are you carrying right now?
Or start from

A research assistant, not a ghostwriter. This is the librarian, not the voice of God — it fetches the passage and gets out of the way.

How it works
  1. 1Say it plainlyType the real thing you are carrying — a sentence, a paragraph, the situation as it actually is. No keywords, no doctrine to guess at.
  2. 2Get grounded, cited versesIt reads for what you wrote and returns real passages from the World English Bible, each cited to book, chapter and verse. If nothing truly fits, it shows nothing — never a filler verse.
  3. 3Write from it — optional, ProFinding scripture is free. If you want, Write from this composes a short reflection drawn only from the verses above — a study aid to weigh yourself, part of oll.am Pro.
Honest questions
Is CiteBible free?

Yes. Typing a situation and getting grounded, cited scripture is free, with no account required. Only writing a reflection from those verses is part of oll.am Pro.

Which translation does it use?

The World English Bible (WEB), a modern public-domain translation, so every passage can be quoted freely and traced to its book, chapter and verse.

Does it write my sermon or devotional for me?

No. CiteBible is a research assistant, not a ghostwriter. It finds and cites real passages for what you describe. The optional Pro step writes a short grounded reflection drawn only from the cited verses — a study aid to weigh yourself, never the voice of God.

What if no verse really fits?

It shows nothing rather than a verse that does not truly fit. Every passage must trace to a real address in the World English Bible; if none can be grounded, none appears.
