Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Bible verse about evangelism?
Psalms 96:3 is the one most readers land on: "Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people." Isaiah 52:7 is the usual second: "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith…" The full list of fifteen is on this page — there is no single required verse, and different seasons call for different texts.
How should a beginner use a list like this?
Start with one verse, not fifteen. Read it aloud once a day for a week — public-domain text, no permission needed, and the copy button will place it wherever you will actually see it. Scripture was written to be heard and repeated; a list like this is a shelf, not a syllabus.

The verses on this page come from 13 books of the Bible — most notably Psalms, Isaiah, Matthew and 10 more — spanning both Old and New Testaments. The distribution itself is worth noticing: Scripture addresses evangelism in more than one voice, which is why the page shows whole verses rather than a single proof text.
