Common questions

Which Bible translation do you use?

The Berean Standard Bible, a modern translation that's free for anyone to use. Every page links to the whole chapter so you can read the verse in context.

Why do these pages explain the context?

Because a verse can be true and still be used to promise something God didn't. Jeremiah 29:11 was written to exiles who waited seventy years. Philippians 4:13 is about being content, not about winning. Knowing who a verse was written to makes it stronger, not weaker.

Who writes these pages?

The Flip the Script team. We read each verse with the verses around it and check what Bible teachers have said about it. We try to say plainly what it means, and we don't promise what God doesn't promise.

Can I use these with a small group or my kids?

Yes. Each page has the verse, what it means in plain words, the verses around it and a few questions. Share the link, or print the page.
