Bible verses about healing
These seven passages are the collection the app surfaces under Healing — for illness, for grief, and for the kind of injury that does not show. They are offered as scripture to sit with, not as medical advice.
Every verse below is quoted from the King James Version. In the app the same collection is available in the English Standard Version too, and tapping any verse opens it in the reader in full context — with the chapter around it, the other translation beside it, and Father AI available to explain anything that does not land.

Reading these in context
A verse lifted out of its chapter can be made to say almost anything. Bible Project is built so that a topic list is a way in to the text rather than a substitute for it: tap a verse and you land in the reader at that exact verse, with the surrounding chapter there to be read.
If a sentence is dense or archaic — and the King James Version has plenty of both — you can ask for a plain-language explanation of that verse without leaving the page, then keep asking follow-up questions in the same thread until the answer actually lands. That is Father AI, and it is the one part of the app that needs a connection.
When you are unwell or grieving and offline
The whole point of carrying both translations on the device is that the moment you need them is rarely the moment you have signal. Reading, keyword search, the topic collections, verse compare and the verse of the day all work with the network off entirely.
