Scripture does not change for its audience, but which passages land does. The 15 verses below were chosen because they are accessible to healing for young adults without being condescending — plain in their language, concrete in their imagery, and short enough to hold in mind.
The point is not a simplified Bible. It is picking the passages that already speak clearly, so the reader meets the text itself rather than a paraphrase of it.

The most-cited Bible verses for healing for young adults are Proverbs 16:24, 1 Peter 2:24, Hebrews 12:13. 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 healing for young adults 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 healing for young adults, chosen so each stands on its own and links through to the full chapter it belongs to.
