How long does it take to read the bible?

King James Bible has 788,258 words in it

788,258 words ÷240 words/min = 3284 minutes, or 55 hours How long would it take to read the Bible?

words ÷365 days = 2160 words per day How many minutes would it take me to read the Bible if I read a little each day?

2160 words÷240 words/min = 9 minutes per day How many minutes would it take me to read the Bible if I read a little each day?

2160 words/day ÷240 words/min = 9 minutes per day So if you started reading 9 minutes a day beginning on New Year’s Day you would complete the whole bible on Dec 31 st.

Do you have 9 minutes somewhere in your day?

18 minutes by the way is exactly how many minutes of commercials there are in just one hour of TV

If you watch 1 hour per day of TV and just read the Bible during the commercials you would be done by June 30th

So if you just skip 27 texts per day, you have 9 minutes to read the Bible.

How much better a person do you find yourself becoming spending time on internet? Do you lose weight? Get in shape? Become more spiritually in tune?

"It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God'" (Matthew 4:4).

When we read the bible cover to cover we are reminding ourselves of the context.

Not living by some words, but by every word of God.

"received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so" (Acts 17:11).

"By which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ" (Ephesians 3:3- 4).

"give attention to reading" (I Timothy 4:13)

"Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said to him, What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?“ (Luke 10:25-26)

"Your word is a lamp to my feet. And a light to my path“ (Psalms 119:104).
