One of the most studied Bible passages this year is the New Testament’s 2 Timothy, according to an analysis of millions of Bible study sessions that tracked how believers around the world engaged with the Bible.
On Monday, Bible study platform Logos released a new report, Logos Chronicled, that aggregates 76 million Bible study sessions since 2025. The report provided information on trends for 4 million people in 164 countries and 35 regions, including Brazil, Germany, Mexico, South Korea and Singapore.
“These findings confirm what we have always believed: that people are hungry for more than superficial Bible reading,” Logos President Chris Migra said in a statement provided to The Christian Post.
“They want tools to read the Bible deeply, with the ability to take advantage of the Bible’s original languages, centuries of theological insight, and the ability to trace themes across the canon. That’s exactly what Logos provides,” Migra added.
According to the report, this year’s top Bible verse is 2 Timothy 3:16, which states, “All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, rebuking, correction, and training in righteousness.” The report suggested that this meant that most users of the Logos platform began their Bible studies by affirming that the Bible was inspired by God and not the result of human consensus.
When it comes to the most researched books, Matthew takes the top spot, with John and Luke also in the top five, according to the Logos report. Another pattern highlighted in the report is that the most searched Greek word among users was “logos,” which means “word,” “reason,” or “message.”
Among the most preferred Bible translations, Nestle-Aland 28: Novum Testum Graece, the standard and world-class critical edition of the Greek New Testament, ranked 10th in most opens. Due to this trend, the report concludes that most Logos platform users are keen to read the Bible in its original language.
The Spanish translation of the Bible, Reina Valera Levisada (1960), ranks seventh on the list of most open Bible translations, which Logos cited as potential evidence of a growing Spanish-speaking user base.
The report also noted that users appear to be seeking the Lord, with “God” among the most searched terms, followed by “Jesus” and “Spirit.” The word “dios”, which means “god” in Spanish, ranked sixth on the list of most searched terms.
“At Logos, we are building technology that increases Bible literacy and accessibility for all Christians around the world,” Migra added. “Our vision is as far-reaching as the Great Commission, and we know it will require continued effort. Still, we are overjoyed to see the progress we have made in preparing believers around the world to go deeper in the light of Scripture.”
Another study released earlier this year known as the “State of the Church” initiative that assessed people’s Bible reading habits concluded that more Americans are reading the Bible.
The initiative, a collaboration between Barna Group and Gloo, collected data from 12,116 online interviews conducted between January and October 2025. Researchers found that about 50% of self-proclaimed Christians report reading the Bible weekly, the highest level of Bible reading among Christians in more than a decade.
Women are traditionally more likely to read the Bible every week, but the latest data shows that young men are leading young women in this habit. Weekly Bible reading rates were 54% for Gen Z men and 57% for Millennial men, compared to 46% for Gen Z women and 43% for Millennial women.
Even though more Americans report reading the Bible consistently, fewer Americans claim that the Bible is 100% accurate, with only 36% of Americans believing it is 100% accurate. Only 44% of self-identified Christians strongly affirmed the accuracy of the Bible.
