Bible Passage Scripture Block

A unit of scripture that displays exactly what is written (ESV), along with a rephrasing and its immediate context. The resulting ‘scripture block‘ is then used to build the answer to a Bible question if/when it is applicable. Collectively, our entire library of scripture-blocks and the questions to which they have been cited can be referenced on our “Bible Verse Reference” page.
