One of the most-studied Bible verses of the year is from 2 Timothy in the New Testament, according to an analysis of millions of Bible study sessions that tracked how believers worldwide are engaging with Scripture.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Monday, the Bible study platform Logos released Logos Chronicled, a new report aggregating 76 million Bible study sessions from 2025. The report provided information about trends among 4 million people across 164 countries and 35 territories, including Brazil, Germany, Mexico, South Korea and Singapore.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese findings confirm what we\u2019ve always believed: People are hungry for more than surface-level Bible reading,\u201d Chris Migura, president of Logos, said in a statement provided to The Christian Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want tools that help them read Scripture in depth \u2014 with the help of the Bible\u2019s original languages, centuries of theological insight, and the ability to trace themes across the entire canon. That\u2019s exactly what Logos provides,\u201d Migura added.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the top Bible verse of the year was 2 Timothy 3:16, which states, \u201cAll Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.\u201d The report suggested that this means most users of Logos\u2019 platform began their Bible studies by affirming that Scripture is divinely inspired and not derived from human consensus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for the most-studied book, Matthew claimed the top spot, with John and Luke also appearing in the top five, according to Logos\u2019 report. Another recurring pattern highlighted in the report is that the most-searched Greek term among users was \u201cLogos,\u201d which can mean \u201cword,\u201d \u201creason\u201d or \u201cmessage.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Among the most preferred Bible translations, the Nestle-Aland 28: Novum Testamentum Graece \u2014 the standard and globally preeminent critical edition of the Greek New Testament \u2014 ranked 10th in most opens. The trend led the report to conclude that most Logos platform users were committed to engaging with Scripture in its original languages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reina Valera Revisada (1960), a Spanish translation of the Bible, ranked seventh on the list of most-opened Bible translations, which Logos cited as potential evidence of a growing Spanish-speaking user base.<\/p>\n

The report also noted that users appeared to seek the Lord, with \u201cGod\u201d among the most-searched terms, followed by \u201cJesus\u201d and \u201cSpirit.\u201d The word \u201cDios,\u201d a Spanish word for \u201cGod,\u201d ranked sixth in the list of most-searched terms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe at Logos are building technology to increase biblical literacy and accessibility for every Christian around the world,\u201d Migura added. \u201cOur vision is as far-reaching as the Great Commission, and we know it will take continued effort. Still, we\u2019re overjoyed to see the progress we\u2019ve made in equipping believers everywhere to go deeper in light of the Bible.\u201d<\/p>\n

A separate study released earlier this year, known as the “State of the Church” initiative, which assessed people’s Bible-reading habits, concluded that more Americans are reading the Bible.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The initiative, a collaboration of Barna Group and Gloo, collected data from 12,116 online interviews conducted between January and October 2025. Researchers found that approximately 50% of self-identified Christians report reading the Bible weekly, the highest level of Bible reading among Christians in more than a decade.<\/p>\n

While women have traditionally been more likely to read the Bible weekly, the latest data show that younger men are leading younger women in this practice. Weekly Bible reading rates were 54% for Gen Z men and 57% for millennial men, compared to 46% for Gen Z women and 43% for millennial women.<\/p>\n

Despite more Americans reporting consistent Bible reading, fewer maintain that the Bible is 100% accurate, with only 36% of Americans believing that the Bible is 100% accurate. Only 44% of self-identified Christians strongly affirmed the accuracy of the Bible.<\/p>\n
