Top 5 Verse-by-Verse Bibles

[@deanstoronsky4371]

Nothing beats so far my NKJV Macclaren Verse by Verse Large Print. It is beautiful and so easy to read. The blue, spacing and etc is amazing.

[@shanedarden5238]

I have one also I like it a lot

[@Eutychus1611]

Wish Nelson released a KJV Maclaren large print without the footnotes

[@ArmandoBN497]

I was at the store read it and had to order one off of Christian books lol

[@metal_bloo]

Cambridge Topaz beats it hard 😉

[@maxwellhufford7115]

LSB SCR is my absolute favorite Bible. Steadfast Bibles have my favorite layouts of any Bible

[@bibelots]

Does anyone else prefer reading the verse by verse format in their everyday reading over the paragraph format?

[@UneducatedandUntrainedPastor]

Yes I do!

[@Aaron_Stuff_]

Verse by verse is my preferred.

[@wyattreeves5608]

Oh, for sure started out using verse by verse just for preaching sermons, but quickly found that it helps me keep my place even in regular devotion so I use it for everything

[@scotthixson111]

Good choices. I would give a nod to Thomas Nelson I like their classic center column reference verse by verse and the maclaren series most are VbV

[@lukemorrison703]

I am a VBV guy all the way. I find it way easier to read and immerse myself in the Word. I do because having the verses divided like that makes it easier for me to connect them and put it all together. In paragraph format, I get lost in all the sentences and miss connections.

Honorable mention to the Thomas Nelson VbV Maclaren Bible? :) I love that layout, the colors, and the genuine leather, although not premium, feels premium to me! Definitely my "One" choice and rebind candidate. Now, just need to figure out where to get it rebound... :) Thanks as always Tim! God bless!

[@Baker.B.Drew07]

I was also hoping to see the Maclaren in this line up. The premium edition is one of my favorite leathers I've ever touched and the block is ridiculously cheap so my wife rebound one for me too.

[@mjy1985]

@@Baker.B.Drew07 Yes that premium addition is VERY nice for the pricepoint. I'm not the biggest fan of the leather, feels too soft and floppy for my taste, but the art gilt and overcast stitching text block? Yes please!

I love a verse-by-verse Bible for in-depth Bible study. ❤️

[@timwildsmith]

me too!

[@cakohl]

Really nice bibles. I'm finding myself drawn more to verse-by-verse for, like you said, everything but just sitting and reading.

[@iBorg20181]

I've been following your videos (and several others, but I like yours the best!) Looking for my "perfect" premium Bible. I finally ordered the Cambridge Topaz ESV, in dark green goatskin, and can't wait to get it (currently on a 2-5 day backorder)! My "must haves" include ESV, double column, VBV, red letter edition, and this has it all, in a beautiful binding! I also ordered (for travel), the Cambridge Pitt Minion ESV in black goatskin (would have preferred the brown, but that only comes in black letter edition)! It would have been perfect if it came in VBV, but other than that, it's my perfect travel Bible. Thanks, Tim, for your wonderful Bible videos, sharing your knowledge (and your collection!) God Bless you, my friend!

[@petrashappyplace]

That is my daily read Bible in the leathersoft. I really only like the VBV Bibles and when I found this one I just couldn't seem to put it down - it was PERFECT!

[@AndyFordham-s7f]

I’m not a preacher,but I really prefer reading verse by verse. It makes exegesis easier for me.

[@rosslewchuk9286]

An admirable selection, indeed! As a senior citizen on a limited income, and dedicated to the NKJV, I use (in order) the Nelson Classic Verse-by Verse Center Column Reference NKJV, with red chapter headings, red verse numbers, and (yes) red verse numbers for the references and textual notes!; the Nelson Personal Size Reference Bible Sovereign Edition with red accents; and the Nelson Maclaren Series with those beautiful blue chapter headings, verse numbers and (yes) blue bottom of the page verse numbers for the references and textual notes! They all have beautiful text blocks, 2K/DENMARK NKJV Typeface, and are printed in China. Also, I bought them on sale with synthetic leather covers for economic reasons. Thanks & Blessings!🙏📖

[@debbiewilliams9983]

I received the maroon calfskin VBV Bible a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely agree with your comments! It is my first VBV to read from as well as this translation CSV. I am very much enjoying it as my go-to for worship service and Bible class. Thank you for the earlier review. It helped a lot in deciding on purchase.

[@joelfields9807]

ESV Stridon all the way for me, my all-time favorite setting.

[@WilliamSwartzendruber]

The CSB Verse-by-Verse Reference Bible was a total grand slam. It makes looking up verses a breeze and it's print is large enough to sit cross-legged with it in your lap. And it's even more amazing for table reading. I wrote Crossway about it a year ago. "You know what would be cool? An Heirloom ESV Bible with a layout matching Holman's CSB Verse-by-Verse."

[@privacyiskey83]

The Stridon and the Allan ESV SCR are the best verse by verse Bibles.

[@lllthink]

Yes, two columns and verse by verse 😊

[@simsjones1977]

The LSB ICR deep brown goatskin would be my # 1 followed by original massive preacher's bible from steadfast bibles. There is also original handy size preacher's bible from steadfast. Of course I don't have my ESV Stridon just yet. A few more weeks and my mind will probably change.

[@privacyiskey83]

LSB ICR has poor build quality.

[@mikerichards8400]

[@idreamofgenealogy3425]

This is awesome! I came specifically to your channel to look for suggestions for a new Bible to use in church 🙂. Thank you so much! As always, your videos are great and I find them very comforting to listen to 🙏

[@j.woodbury412]

I like the single column, verse by verse layout. My favorite would be the LSB Handy Size Edition. I love that blue-gray cloth over board cover. As for the second one you showed, I would say Single Column Reference instead of Side Column Reference. That's because I don't consider the inside margins the sides. If the references were in the outside margins, I would say Side Column Reference, that may be just me.. I like paragraph format as far as reading, but I agree it is hard to find the verses. I wish there was a way to change that, like maybe putting the verse numbers to the side, like the Treveris, or having the verse numbers in bold face. Sometime when I'm trying to find a verse in a paragraph Bible I have to start at the beginning of the paragraph and read it until I get to the verse I'm looking for. I don't have to do that in a verse by verse Bible. That's why I prefer Single column, verse by verse format.

[@carmennooner2027]

Topaz, if there is a large print with faux leather. I simply can't afford premium Bibles so even if I have to get a hardback, I would. I also like having red letter in the New Testament. :)

[@jayg5650]

Crossway ESV Preaching Bible VbV and Holman Handcrafted KJV (& CSB) are extremely good SC options to consider. Both goatskin covers and 36gsm and under $130 on Amzn right now

[@tofslie]

Topaz is probably one of the best all around bibles.

[@lizardwanderer]

I think I like the Topaz best!

[@grantkruger3689]

That Topaz NASB is fantastic, I'd love to get one, but I can't quite afford it right now. And though I was critical of the book introductions, that Allan ESV SCR is also great. But that's much more expensive than even the Topaz 🤦‍♂ Oh well 😁

[@derekgirldad]

Enjoy every video ❤ I just got in trouble by my wife today for buying another Bible she didn’t know about 😁 haha she loves me So no new bibles for 2 weeks hehe 😉 😂 It was the sovereign collection RSV pre order

[@Mike_W78]

Ill second the Hollman CSB single column. Thats my go to right now. I have the older goatskin one and its great. If they do print a NASB in that format that would be a preorder for me. Great bible.

[@ArmandoBN497]

I’ve been thinking of the CSB VBV since I’ve had my main bible be NASB and most recently LSB.

[@chris12780]

Awesome video. I like NKJV . But enjoy my Quest NIV study bible 2004 edition. Sheree McGinnis, you tube did a review on it.

[@kigensama]

Another great and informative Video... Is there a decent VBV single column option for the NLT?

[@Cliff_Dixon_42]

Okay, I've got the ESV Stridon (in that Desert Camel calfskin, no less!), and I DO plan on going through it later this year; it'll be my Christmas Bible for this year. But for the NASB 2020, there IS a lower-cost edition of their Stridon in the form of the Wide Margin Reference Bible from Lockman (not the 95, though). It doesn't have the premium features of the Schuyler, but it does have the exact same layout (other than the materials after the Bible text; Lockman uses theirs in their release). And it's available in "Leathertex" or even genuine leather for a lot less than Schuyler's offering. Currently going through the NASB 2020 in that particular Wide Margin Reference edition.

[@kimberlyhudelson8431]

[@darylmoore1269]

Hi Tim -Thanks for all of your detailed bible reviews. They are great! Do you know if there is a verse by verse Bible that preserves, in some way, the structure of Biblical poety like the pslams? I'm looking for something that is verse by verse, but that still has poems in stanzas, if that makes sense. Preferably CSB, but it does not have to be.

[@guymontag349]

Good choices, Tim. I'm also a big fan of the Cambridge Topaz. But tell me, is the Holman CSB a red-letter edition? Thanks.

Hi Tim! Big fan of the channel. Was wondering if you have any suggestions for a premium esv bible that has double columns and has thick paper (preferably 36gm or over, though I know that is rare).

That's what you'll find in the Allan Reader (NC1 or NC2)... great Bibles with lovely paper.

Hey brother! I have a question. I am searching for a NKJV end-of-verse reference bible (thus verse by verse), but not in large print. The large print end of verse reference bibles are too thick and heavy. Hoping for a thinner one (around 8-9 point font). Have you seen one anywhere? The closest I have seen is an old Holman NKJV end-of-paragraph reference.

[@jydymyyyr9630]

I've been looking for my perfect Bible; a KJV that will last generations (quality leather and binding, with a semi or full yapp), has a larger font (11+ pt), 2-column, V-by-V, with references NOT in the outer-margin (ok if end-of-verse, bottom-of-page or inner-margin), and uses thicker (36 gsm) paper (no onion skin or tissue paper), and 3-4 thick/long ribbons. I'd also prefer Christ's words to be in RED, the size of the Bible being 6" x 9" (or a little bigger) and I'm okay if it's pretty thick. I'd like some good maps, but don't need the concordance or other extras. The one thing that would really put it over the top, would be quality drawings or artwork of major events... not so much for myself, but when I share the content with my grandchildren (they're really drawn in by the pictures). Thanks for sharing your "top 5 v-by-v bibles," it'll give me a few more to check out.

[@rmaclary]

Humble Lamb’s Lion KJV fits all of those requirements, except the words of Christ are in blue, not red.

[@ChristopherAlsruhe-si9ff]

Bible should be verse by verse in two column format, with no footnotes or cross referencing, just like The 40 or so writers of the scriptures wrote.
