A proposito di questo titolo

Welcome to Day 6 of Word for Word: The Bible.

In today’s episode, we read Genesis chapters 17–19 word for word from the New International Version (NIV). These chapters mark a significant turning point in the biblical story as God makes His covenant with Abram more explicit, gives him a new name—Abraham—and reaffirms His promise of a son through Sarah.

Today’s reading includes:

  • God establishing His everlasting covenant with Abraham
  • Abram and Sarai receiving new names: Abraham and Sarah
  • The promise of Isaac and God’s faithfulness despite long waiting
  • Abraham’s encounter with the three visitors
  • Abraham interceding for Sodom
  • The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah
  • Lot’s rescue and the consequences that follow

These chapters show both God’s mercy and His justice side by side. God listens, warns, rescues, and remains faithful to His promises—even as human brokenness becomes increasingly clear.

Each episode of Word for Word: The Bible includes:

  • A brief prayer for understanding
  • A complete Scripture reading with no commentary added
  • A short reflection to help frame the passage in context

Whether this is your first time reading the Bible or your first time reading it all the way through, you’re invited to follow along as we continue this year-long journey through Scripture—one day at a time.
