All 15 are here for that reason. Each carries its meaning on its own, without requiring the reader to have the surrounding chapter in mind.

The most-cited Bible verses for calling uplifting are Isaiah 41:9, Isaiah 41:25, Jeremiah 29:12. This page collects 15 of them, each with its full passage, context and the text in six translations.
Read the verse in its surrounding passage before you use it — a verse that fits in isolation sometimes says something different in context. Compare two translations where the wording is unclear, and pick for the person who will read it rather than for the theme.
Scripture returns to calling uplifting across both testaments rather than settling it in one passage, which is why the verses on this page do not all say the same thing. Read together they give a fuller answer than any single verse does.
There is no single best translation. The NIV and NLT read most naturally and communicate well to someone outside the church; the ESV and NASB stay closer to the original wording; the KJV carries the phrasing most people recognise. Every verse here links to a page showing all six side by side.
More than any page can list. This one carries the 15 that are most often turned to for calling uplifting, chosen so each stands on its own and links through to the full chapter it belongs to.
