Collections allow you to organize and save Bible verses that are meaningful to you. Create themed collections, build study lists, or compile verses for specific purposes.
Collections are a user-specific feature. You must be signed in to create and manage collections.

Best Practices

Tips for Effective Collections

  • Use descriptive names: “Encouragement” is better than “Collection 1”
  • Keep collections focused: Themed collections are easier to use than catch-all lists
  • Regular maintenance: Review and update collections periodically
  • Multiple collections: Don’t hesitate to save the same verse in multiple relevant collections
  • Note-taking: Consider using the Notes feature alongside collections for deeper study

​
Collection Strategies

Group verses by topic or theme:
  • Love and Compassion
  • Wisdom and Guidance
  • Promises of God
  • Commands and Instructions

  • Secure - Stored securely in the Convex database
