Marking Bible Ideas PA 2/04

MARKING IN YOUR BIBLE




Why mark your Bible? It will help you find a particular scripture that youre looking for quickly. And when
you study your Bible while marking, it helps you be more involved in the scriptures as you read them. You
will remember the scripture or passage better, and you will have a visual connection with where it is located in
your Bible.

There is no right or wrong way to mark your Bible. Below are some ideas to serve as a springboard for
developing your own marking system. Your personal marking system can evolve as your preferences change
and as you become more familiar with the Bible. All of the ideas below incorporate the use of colored pencils.
Choose colors that are basic, bold, and distinguishable from one another. Place thin cardboard under the page
so you don't press through the paper.

There are three main techniques to use to mark a verse or passage. They are
