Description
This plugin displays a random Bible verse via the widget. Each time the applicable page is loaded or refreshed, the widget randomly selects a new verse. The current algorithm allows for the same verse to show up multiple times in a row. If you aren’t seeing a different verse, just refresh the page a few more times.
The plugin creates a widget that can be used in sidebars, footers, and other widget locations. There is no shortcode yet, but that is coming in a future version. The plugin is easy to install and there are no configuration options to worry about.
All verses are King James Version and currently English is the only supported language.
Translations
English
- King James Bible: Pure Cambridge Edition (PCE) via https://openbible.com/ (public domain)
Miscellaneous Info

Installation
Frequently Asked Questions
The current version only has 5 verses that it rotates randomly. More verses will be added in future versions.
While support for other versions and language localization could be added as this plugin gains popularity, in these beginning stages there are no plans to implement them yet.
