Terms of use

Using the site

Verse & Light is free to read and needs no account. Please do not attempt to disrupt the service, scrape it at a rate that degrades it for others, or use it to distribute unlawful material.

The Bible text

Scripture quotations are from the World English Bible, which is in the public domain. You may copy, quote and redistribute that text freely, including commercially, with no permission from us. Full attribution details.

Our own writing

Commentary, introductions, reflection questions, prayers and articles on this site are original work and remain the property of the publisher. You are welcome to quote short extracts with a link back; please ask before republishing a whole page.

No professional advice

Nothing here is pastoral, medical, psychological, legal or financial advice. A randomly selected verse is not guidance about a decision you are facing, and we make no claim that it is. If you are in crisis, please contact a qualified professional or an emergency service in your country.

Accuracy and availability

We take care over references and quotations, but we cannot guarantee that the site is free of errors or always available. If you find a mistake, tell us and we will correct it.

Links to other sites

Where we link elsewhere, we are not responsible for that site’s content or privacy practices.

Changes

These terms may change as the site develops. The version on this page is the one that applies.
