If you are searching for Bible verses about God’s word in the King James Version, this list gives you passages that speak directly to Scripture itself: its reliability, its power, and its place in a believer’s daily life. It is written for anyone who wants to read the KJV with a clearer sense of what it claims about itself and how to put that into practice. The verses below share one conviction: God’s words are trustworthy, living, and meant to be heard, kept, and obeyed.
Verses on the Reliability of God’s Word
When doubt creeps in about whether Scripture can really be trusted, these passages go straight to the question. They point to a word that does not change with the seasons or the opinions of the age. Read them slowly and let each one answer a specific worry.
Psalm 119:89
For ever, O LORD , thy word is settled in heaven.
(KJV)
The psalmist names something settled in heaven, and that settledness is the anchor for anyone who feels the ground shifting. Try reading this verse aloud before the day’s news or the day’s first hard message, and let it remind you which word stands firmer than your circumstances.
Isaiah 40:8
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
(KJV)
Grass fades and flowers wither, yet the verse holds up God’s word as the thing that endures. Write this on a card for the dashboard of your car, and when a headline or a deadline makes you feel fragile, let it steady you for the next ten minutes.
Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
(KJV)
Jesus sets his own words against the collapse of heaven and earth, which is a bold claim about durability. If you have a long season of change ahead, such as a move, a new job, or a child leaving home, keep this verse near the place where you pack and plan.
Verses on the Power of God’s Word
Scripture is not only accurate; it acts. These passages describe God’s word creating, cutting, healing, and carrying out his purposes. They are useful when you feel your own words or efforts are too small to matter.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
(KJV)
This verse describes God’s word as sharp enough to reach into the places you would rather keep hidden. Before opening your Bible in the morning, pause and ask it to show you one thing you have been avoiding, then write that thing down in a notebook.
Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
(KJV)
God says his word does not return empty, but accomplishes what it was sent to do. If you have been praying over a relationship or a difficult conversation for months without visible change, read this verse once a week and keep planting the word in that situation.
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
(KJV)
Paul does not describe the gospel as merely helpful or interesting; he calls it the power of God for salvation. When you feel embarrassed to speak about your faith at work or with family, remember that the message does the saving, and you only need to be faithful in sharing it.
Verses for Hiding God’s Word in the Heart
Knowing that God’s word is true and powerful leads naturally to the question of how to keep it close. These verses call for memorizing, meditating on, and treasuring Scripture so that it shapes ordinary thoughts and choices.
Psalm 119:11
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
(KJV)
The psalmist stores God’s word in his heart as a way of guarding against sin. Choose one short passage this month to memorize, and recite it during a routine task like folding laundry or waiting in line, so that it is ready when temptation arrives.
Joshua 1:8
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
(KJV)
God tells Joshua to keep the book of the law in his mouth and to meditate on it day and night. Try reading a small portion at breakfast and speaking one line of it again on your drive, letting the words stay with you through the hours.
Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
(KJV)
Paul asks that the word of Christ dwell in you richly, which suggests a home that is lived in, not a visit. Invite a friend or family member to read a psalm together once a week, and let the conversation about it become part of your shared life.
Verses on Trusting and Obeying God’s Word
Hearing God’s word is meant to lead to doing it. These passages connect Scripture with practical obedience, showing that trust and action grow together.
James 1:22
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
(KJV)
James warns against hearing the word without acting on it, a trap that is easy to fall into when reading has become routine. After each reading, pick one small action you will take that day, such as an apology, a kind word, or a task you have postponed.
John 14:23
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
(KJV)
Jesus links loving him with keeping his word, and he promises the Father’s love and presence in return. When you feel distant from God, ask yourself whether there is a specific instruction in Scripture you have set aside, and take one step toward obeying it.
Psalm 119:105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
(KJV)
The psalmist calls God’s word a lamp for his feet and a light for his path, which suits decisions that are not clear. When you face a choice you cannot see through, read a short passage before deciding and write down the next step it points you toward.
Deuteronomy 8:3
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
(KJV)
Moses reminds Israel that people live by more than bread, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord. Pair your meals with a few minutes of reading so that Scripture becomes as regular a part of your day as eating.
How to Use These Verses
Start by writing the references you feel most drawn to on index cards or in the notes app on your phone, so they are close at hand during the day. Read the verse in the KJV first, then reread it once more slowly, pausing on any word that stands out. Many readers find it helpful to keep a single verse in view for a week rather than moving quickly through the whole list.
Turn the verses into prayer by addressing God directly with what each one says. If Psalm 119:105 speaks to a decision, you might ask him to be the lamp for your next step. Return to the list whenever you feel uncertain about Scripture or about your own obedience, and let these passages set the pace of your reading.
A Short Prayer for God’s Word
Lord, thank you that your word is settled in heaven and does not fail when everything around me shifts. Make it alive in my reading today, and let it reach the parts of my heart I would rather keep closed. Help me to hide your words in my memory, so they are ready when I am tired, afraid, or tempted. Give me the courage to act on what I read, not just to nod along. Let your word accomplish what you intend in me and in the people I love. Amen.
