2 - How to Memorise Greek and Hebrew Bible Verses
Whether you’re a seminary student, pastor, or devoted Scripture enthusiast, memorising Bible verses in their original Greek and Hebrew opens a deeper connection to the text. In this guide, I’ll show you how to use spaced repetition and study games to commit original language verses to long-term memory.
Remember Me is a Bible memorisation app that fully supports original language memorisation with keyboard input, text-to-speech pronunciation, and interactive study games. Everything in this guide works on iOS, Android, and web.
Why Memorise in Original Languages?
Memorising Bible verses in Greek and Hebrew offers unique benefits:
- Direct access to the original inspired text without translation interpretation
- Deeper understanding of nuanced meanings, word plays, and literary structures
- Enhanced language learning that reinforces vocabulary and grammar
- Richer meditation on familiar passages in their original form
- Better sermon preparation with instant recall of key texts
Getting Started
Step 1: Create a Dedicated Account
I recommend creating a separate verse account for original language study. This keeps your Greek or Hebrew verses on their own review schedule, separate from any English memorisation.
When creating your account, configure these key settings:
- Language of the references: Set to English (or your native language). This lets you type familiar references like “John 3:16” rather than “Ἰωάννης 3:16”, and TTS will announce verse locations in English.
- Language of the verses: Set to Hebrew or Greek, matching the passages you’ll memorise.
This combination means you get English book names for easy navigation, while the actual verse text comes from your chosen Greek or Hebrew source.
Step 2: Enable Your Keyboard
Before adding Greek or Hebrew verses, enable the appropriate keyboard on your device:
iOS:
- Go to Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards
- Tap “Add New Keyboard”
- Select “Greek” or “Hebrew”
Android:
- Go to Settings → System → Languages & Input → Virtual Keyboard
- Select your keyboard app (Gboard, Samsung Keyboard, etc.)
- Add Greek or Hebrew language
Desktop:
- macOS: System Preferences → Keyboard → Input Sources → Add Greek/Hebrew
- Windows: Settings → Time & Language → Language → Add a language
Step 3: Add Verses from Original Language Sources
- Open Remember Me and tap Add Verse
- In the Reference field, type the verse location (e.g., “Genesis 1:1”). Because you set your reference language to English in Step 1, autocomplete will suggest familiar book names.
- Tap the Source dropdown and select your Greek or Hebrew text edition.
- Once both Reference and Source are filled, a floating action button (book icon) appears in the bottom corner.
- Tap it to open the online Bible. The app displays the verse from the source you selected.
- Verify the correct passage is shown, then tap the paste button to insert the text into your verse.
- Tap Save.
The app handles right-to-left Hebrew text automatically.
Step 4: Practice with Study Games
All of Remember Me’s study games work with Greek and Hebrew text:
- Flashcards: Review verses with spaced repetition scheduling
- Typing: Practice writing verses using your Greek or Hebrew keyboard
- Puzzle: Arrange word tiles in correct order (great for learning word order)
- Obfuscate: Reveal hidden letters progressively
- Line-Up: Put verses in sequence
Step 5: Use Text-to-Speech for Pronunciation
Remember Me’s text-to-speech feature works with Greek and Hebrew, helping you:
- Learn correct pronunciation as you memorise
- Practice listening comprehension
- Reinforce auditory memory alongside visual
Enable TTS in Settings and tap the speaker icon while reviewing verses.
Study Tips for Original Languages
Start with Familiar Passages
Begin with verses you already know well in English. Your familiarity with the meaning lets you focus on the original words:
Greek starters:
- John 1:1 — Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος
- John 3:16 — Οὕτως γὰρ ἠγάπησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν κόσμον
- Romans 8:28 — Οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν τὸν θεὸν πάντα συνεργεῖ
Hebrew starters:
- Genesis 1:1 — בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים
- Psalm 23:1 — יְהוָה רֹעִי לֹא אֶחְסָר
- Isaiah 40:31 — וְקוֹיֵ יְהוָה יַחֲלִיפוּ כֹחַ
Focus on Small Portions
Original language memorisation takes more effort than English. Start with:
- Single verses rather than paragraphs
- Key phrases within longer verses
- Building up gradually as fluency increases
Remember Me’s spaced repetition algorithm handles scheduling automatically. Trust the system—review when prompted, and the verses will move into long-term memory.
Use Typing Games Strategically
The typing game reinforces letter recognition and keyboard fluency. Even if typing feels slow at first, the muscle memory you build accelerates future memorisation.
Create Dedicated Study Sessions
Consider setting specific times for original language review, separate from your English memorisation. This focused approach prevents mental fatigue from constant script-switching.
Pair with Grammar Study
Memorisation reinforces language learning. As you memorise, note:
- Verb forms and conjugations
- Case endings in Greek nouns
- Hebrew verb stems (binyanim)
- Vocabulary in context
Troubleshooting
Text displays incorrectly: Ensure your device has fonts installed for Greek/Hebrew. Most modern devices include these by default.
Keyboard won’t switch: Check that you’ve added the language keyboard in system settings, not just the app.
TTS sounds robotic: See configuring voice settings for tips on selecting better Greek or Hebrew voices.
Beyond Bible Verses: Greek and Hebrew Vocabulary
Remember Me isn’t limited to Bible verses—you can use it to memorise Greek and Hebrew vocabulary too.
For vocabulary study, create a dedicated account with these settings:
- Language of the references: Greek or Hebrew (the original word)
- Language of the verses: English (the definition)
This is the reverse of Bible verse accounts, because now the Reference field holds the Greek/Hebrew word and the Passage field holds the English meaning.
Adding Vocabulary Manually
Create vocabulary cards by entering words directly:
- Reference: The Greek or Hebrew word (e.g., “ἀγάπη” or “אָהַב”)
- Passage: The definition or translation
- Source: Your textbook name or “Vocabulary”
Importing Vocabulary Lists
For larger vocabulary sets, prepare a CSV file and import it:
- Create a CSV with columns: Reference, Passage, Source, Topic
- Use Reference for the word, Passage for the definition
- Go to Labels → tap the file icon (top-right) → Import
- Select your CSV file
Sharing Your Collections with Fellow Students
If you’re a teacher or study group leader, you can publish your Greek or Hebrew vocabulary collections on Remember Me for others to use. This is a great way to share curated word lists with your class or study group.
To share a collection:
- Organize your verses or vocabulary into a labeled collection
- Publish the collection through your Remember Me account
- Share the collection link with your students or fellow learners
Students who subscribe to your collection will automatically receive updates when you add new words or verses—perfect for building a shared vocabulary list throughout a semester.
Browse and share collections at web.remem.me/collections.
Memorising Scripture in the original languages is a rewarding discipline that deepens both your biblical knowledge and language skills. With Remember Me’s full support for Greek and Hebrew, you have all the tools you need to hide God’s Word in your heart—in the very words it was first written.
3 - Prayers & Devotions
Create a Prayer Account
Create a separate account for texts that you want to read regularly rather than memorise. Since the references probably play a minor role, you can select the option “Learn by Topic” when setting up the account.
Adding Prayers/Devotions
You can add texts in the “New” box or import a collection of texts from “Collections”. Some kind of numbering is useful as reference. For example, if you split up a collection of long prayers into individual prayer cards - such as the books by Stormie Omartian - the references could be 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b etc. References are used to sort the cards. It is also helpful to add a topic to each prayer.
Pray Daily
Sort the prayers by topic or by reference (alphabetically) by tapping the “New” tab a second time. It is best to say the prayers aloud and in your own dialect or words. This way, even preconceived prayers can turn into a personal conversation with God. Write down impressions and thoughts that become important to you during prayer below the prayer text (see Editing a verse). In this way, your prayer account also becomes your prayer diary and reflects part of your communication with God. Move the prayer after your daily devotion to the “Due” box to keep track of your prayer progress. The “Known” tray is not needed for prayers.
Reusing a Prayer Collection
If you want to start over with a prayer collection after you have completed it, select a prayer (tap on its badge on the left), then “select all”, and move the whole collection back to the “New” box.
4 - How to Run a Bible Memory Campaign with Your Church or Small Group
Running a Bible memory campaign brings your church, small group, or family together around God’s Word. Whether you’re leading a youth group through the book of James, guiding your congregation through an Advent series, or challenging your small group to memorize key verses on faith, Remember Me makes it easy to organize, share, and track your progress together.
This guide walks you through setting up a campaign from start to finish using Remember Me’s subscribable collections and group metrics features.
Why Run a Memory Campaign?
Group memorization creates accountability and community that solo efforts often lack:
- Shared commitment keeps everyone motivated when enthusiasm wanes
- Natural discussion emerges as participants wrestle with the same passages
- Collective progress celebrates the group’s growth, not just individual achievement
- Lasting impact as participants carry Scripture with them long after the campaign ends
Remember Me is ideal for campaigns because it’s completely free (no premium tiers or participant limits), works offline, syncs across all devices, and now offers subscribable collections with group progress tracking.
Step 1: Plan Your Campaign
Before creating your collection, think through these key decisions:
Choose Your Verses
Pick verses that serve your group’s spiritual needs:
- Topical collections around themes like faith, hope, love, anxiety, or identity in Christ
- Book studies working through James, Philippians, or a Psalm
- Seasonal series for Advent, Lent, or a summer challenge
- Foundational passages like the Romans Road or key promises
Tip: 15-25 verses is a sweet spot for most campaigns. Enough to be substantial, achievable enough to complete.
Set Duration and Pace
Match your timeline to your group’s capacity:
| Campaign Length | Suggested Pace | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 4 weeks | 3-5 verses/week | Intensive studies, motivated groups |
| 6-8 weeks | 2-3 verses/week | Small groups, Sunday school classes |
| 12 weeks | 1-2 verses/week | Families, casual pace |
| Ongoing | Self-paced | Open-ended collections |
Define Success
What does “memorized” mean for your group? Remember Me uses a level system where levels increase with each successful review:
- Level 2+ means a verse is memorized (committed to memory)
- Level 4+ indicates the verse is stable/mastered
- Higher levels mean longer intervals between reviews
Consider setting a group goal like “80% of participants reach level 4 on all verses by the end.”
Step 2: Create Your Collection
Create a New Label
- Open Remember Me and go to Labels
- Tap the + button to create a new label
- Keep the label name short (e.g., “Romans Road” or “Faith Verses”) since it appears as a badge on each verse
You’ll add a longer, descriptive name when you publish the collection.
Add Your Verses
Add verses to your label using any of these methods:
Manual entry:
- Tap Add Verse
- Enter the reference and select your Bible translation
- Use the book icon to fetch the passage automatically
- Assign the verse to your campaign label
Import from another Bible app:
- Copy a verse from YouVersion, Olive Tree, Logos, or other apps
- Remember Me automatically parses the reference and passage
Import from CSV:
- Prepare a spreadsheet with Reference, Passage, Source columns
- Import via Labels → File icon → Import
Organize Your Verses
Order matters for campaigns. Arrange verses in the sequence you want participants to learn them:
- Chronological order for book studies
- Thematic groupings for topical collections
- Progressive difficulty (simpler verses first)
Add Topics to verses to help participants see how they connect to your campaign theme.
Step 3: Publish Your Collection
Once your verses are ready, publish your label to make it available for others to subscribe.
How to Publish
- Go to Labels and tap your campaign label
- Tap the label’s badge (the icon on the left side of the label row) to open label settings
- Select Publish Collection
- Write a compelling description explaining:
- What the collection is about
- Who it’s for
- How to use it in the campaign context
Write a Good Description
Your description helps participants understand the collection’s purpose. Remember Me supports rich text formatting—select text and use the context menu to apply bold, italic, underline, block quotes, bullet points, and more.
A well-crafted description can include theological context, explain your organizational structure, and guide participants through the collection’s purpose. See the F.I.S.H. collection for an example of a richly formatted description.
Get Your Share Link
After publishing, you’ll receive a shareable link like:
https://web.remem.me/collections/704152580857592
This link works for anyone—they don’t need an account to view the collection, though they’ll need one to subscribe.
Step 4: Invite Participants
Share Your Collection
Distribute your collection link through:
- Church announcements or bulletins
- Small group messaging (WhatsApp, GroupMe, etc.)
- Email newsletters
- QR codes on printed materials
What Participants See
When someone opens your collection link and taps Subscribe:
- All verses are added to their account with a new label
- They can start memorizing immediately
- Their progress (review dates, levels) is private to them
- The label shows a bookmark badge indicating it’s linked to your collection
Subscribers are linked to your collection and can receive updates when you modify it. Their memorization progress contributes to your campaign metrics.
Step 5: Track Group Progress
Once you have subscribers, Remember Me provides aggregate metrics showing how your group is doing—without exposing individual progress.
The Metrics Dashboard
Open your published collection to see the metrics panel. Metrics appear once you have subscribers actively working on the collection.
Understanding the Four Metrics
1. Collection Progress
Shows what percentage of the collection has been memorized across all subscribers, calculated by word count and weighted by participation. In the example above: 42.7% complete (364 of 854 words).
2. Verse Stability
Distribution of verses by how well the group has learned them:
- Mastered (orange): 60%+ of participants have this verse at level 4+
- In Progress (blue): 20-59% of participants have reached level 4+
- New (gray): Less than 20% have mastered this verse
In the example: 4 verses mastered (19%), 9 in progress (43%), 8 new (38%).
3. Most Difficult Verses
A ranked list showing which verses the group finds most challenging. The difficulty score combines how many subscribers haven’t yet memorized the verse, how many haven’t mastered it, and how frequently it needs reviewing. Higher percentages mean more subscribers are struggling with that verse.
In the example, 1 John 1:7-9 shows 80%—a good candidate for group discussion or additional teaching.
4. Group Activity
Engagement over the last 7 days:
- Avg. daily words: How many words the group reviews per day (272 in the example, about 6.7 passages)
- Participation rate: What percentage of subscribers are actively reviewing (100% in the example)
These metrics help you spot when engagement is dropping so you can encourage your group.
Privacy Note
All metrics are aggregate and anonymous. You cannot see individual participant progress, names, or activity. This protects privacy while still giving you useful campaign insights.
Step 6: Keep Your Collection Fresh
Campaigns evolve. You might need to add verses, fix typos, or update content. Subscribable collections make this easy.
Adding New Verses
Add new verses to your label. Subscribers will see an update notification (a dot on their label’s badge) and can tap to sync. Great for:
- Releasing verses week by week
- Adding bonus content mid-campaign
- Responding to group needs
Fixing Errors
Found a typo or wrong reference? Edit the verse in your collection. When subscribers sync, those who haven’t customized that verse will receive the correction.
How Smart Sync Works
Remember Me automatically detects when you’ve updated your collection and shows subscribers a notification dot on their label. When they tap to sync:
- New verses are added to their collection
- Updated verses receive your changes (if they haven’t edited them)
- Customized verses are preserved—if a participant modified a verse, their version is kept
- Progress is never lost—review history, levels, and commit dates stay intact
This means you can improve your collection without disrupting anyone’s memorization progress.
What If a Subscriber Customizes a Verse?
If a participant edits a verse (changing the passage text, for example), that verse becomes “theirs” and won’t receive future updates from you. This is intentional—it respects their personal study while keeping the option to sync everything else.
Tips for Successful Campaigns
Start Manageable
It’s better to complete a smaller collection than abandon an ambitious one. You can always create follow-up campaigns.
Build in Checkpoints
Schedule regular encouragement moments:
- Week 2: “We’ve started strong!”
- Midpoint: Review difficult verses together
- Final week: Celebration and reflection
Use Metrics Wisely
The difficult verses list is a teaching opportunity. If everyone struggles with Romans 8:28, spend time in your group unpacking its meaning—understanding aids memorization.
Celebrate Together
When your group hits milestones (50% complete, first verse mastered by everyone), celebrate! Recognition fuels motivation.
Keep Communication Open
Create a space (group chat, weekly email) where participants can:
- Share what they’re learning
- Ask questions about verses
- Encourage each other
- Report struggles so you can help
Example: F.I.S.H. My Identity in Christ
For inspiration, explore the F.I.S.H. My Identity in Christ collection—22 verses organized around the ancient Christian fish symbol (Ichthys):
- F (Faith): Verses on redemption of the past through Christ’s sacrifice
- I (Incarnation): Verses on present community and fellowship
- S (Spirituality): Verses on relationship with the Holy Spirit
- H (Hope): Verses on future resurrection and eternal life
This collection demonstrates effective campaign design:
- Clear thematic organization
- Manageable size (22 verses)
- Logical progression building on each section
- Rich description explaining the framework
Campaign Ideas
Need inspiration? Here are some formats to consider:
4-Week Intensive
Topic: Key promises of God Pace: 5 verses per week Best for: Motivated small groups, youth retreats
6-Week Small Group Study
Topic: Book of James (selected verses) Pace: 3-4 verses per week Best for: Regular small group meetings with discussion
Advent/Lent Series
Topic: Prophecy and fulfillment / Passion narrative Pace: 1 verse per day for the season Best for: Church-wide participation, families
Summer Family Challenge
Topic: Psalms of praise Pace: 1-2 verses per week Best for: Multi-generational, relaxed summer schedule
Youth Group Competition
Topic: Armor of God (Ephesians 6) Pace: Team-based, self-paced Best for: Energetic groups who enjoy friendly competition
Running a Bible memory campaign multiplies the impact of Scripture memorization. When your group commits to learning God’s Word together, you build community while hiding truth in hearts that will carry it for a lifetime.
