# Memorize a Bible verse

Free tool at https://www.lumin.faith/memorize. Pick a verse or type a reference (up to 6 verses), then learn it in four steps:

1. **Read it.** Read the verse aloud, or have the page read it to you.
2. **Fade.** A quarter of the words disappear at a time. Say the verse with the gaps filled in.
3. **First letters.** Each word becomes its first letter. Say the whole verse from the letters.
4. **Type it.** Type the first letter of each word from memory. The page shows how many you got right.

Verses you practice are kept in "Your verses" on your own device, with the day each one is due again: tomorrow, then 2, 4, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days when you get nine words in ten right. No account, and nothing is sent anywhere.

Verses are quoted from the Lumin Translation.
