This isn’t typical for my blog, but I’ve wanted to do this for a couple week. It’s just for fun, but you might find some of the passages have meaning to you.
Youth ministers: Proceed with caution! :-D Don’t knock this! Several 6:7/1:6–7 verses are popular verses or study topics. Parental guidance or permission might be needed for a couple of them (Song of Songs & Jude come to mind).
Parents (esp. Home School Parents): Keep your kids busy with this over the Christmas break.
Just for the fun of it, here are all the 6:7 verses in the Bible (NIV 2011 version). The parameters for selection are as follows.
- If the book has at least 6 chapters, I picked the 7th verse (English numbering) from the 6th chapter.
- If the 6th chapter of a book does not have 7 verses, then I picked the entire 6th and 7th chapters (I don’t think anything fits this category).
- If the book has fewer than 6 chapters, I picked verses 6 & 7 from the first (or only) chapter.
Guidelines for your 6:7 study:
- Always consider the context of each verse when studying it.
- Talk through your initial thoughts on the verse and what it might mean or how it might apply to your life before looking up other resources.
- Use whatever resources you may have available (Bible app, print resources, etc.) to fine tune your understanding.
- For an extra challenge, hold a “6:7” party/outreach and have selected students present their own study of a 6:7 verse.
- Share your results in the comments and something about your ministry.
