The 365-Day Bible Reading Plan

One pass through the Bible in a year, at about 85 verses a day. The chapter count moves between 1 and 12 so that the amount you actually read stays steady — Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible, fills a day on its own.

How These Plans Are Divided

Most reading plans hand you a fixed number of chapters a day, which quietly makes some days four times longer than others. A chapter is not a unit of length: Psalm 119 runs to 176 verses, Psalm 117 to two. So these schedules divide the 31,102 verses of the KJV evenly instead, then round each day’s portion to the nearest whole chapter.

The result is a plan whose days are the same size in the only sense that matters — how much there is to read. In the 90-day plan every day falls within a few dozen verses of the 346-verse average, even though the chapter count swings from 7 to 26. Both plans are generated directly from the KJV text on this site, so no day points at a chapter that does not exist.

Finishing What You Start

Reading plans are rarely abandoned in Genesis. They are abandoned somewhere in Leviticus, in the second half of February, when a reader who has missed nine days works out that catching up means thirty chapters in one sitting and decides the year is lost. Two habits prevent it.

First, the days here are numbered, not dated. Miss a week and Day 40 is still waiting; resume there rather than skipping ahead to whatever the calendar says. Finishing the Bible in fourteen months is finishing the Bible.

Second, choose the pace you will actually keep. The 90-day plan is a genuine commitment of time each day, and it is far better to read a year’s plan to the end than to quit a three-month plan in Numbers. If a day’s portion feels heavy for a fortnight running, move to the slower plan and carry on from the same place in the text.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many chapters a day do you read to finish the Bible in a year?

The King James Version has 1,189 chapters, so a 365-day plan averages a little over three a day. This plan divides the Bible by verse count rather than chapter count — about 85 verses a day — because chapters vary so much in length. Most days come to two, three, or four chapters; a few long ones stand alone.

How much do you read each day in a 90-day Bible reading plan?

Roughly thirteen chapters a day, or about 346 verses. Reading the whole Bible in 90 days means covering 1,189 chapters in a quarter of a year, so the daily portion is around four times a one-year plan. In this schedule the chapter count per day runs from 7 to 26, but the verse count stays close to the average throughout.

What order do the readings follow?

Straight through, Genesis 1 to Revelation 22, in the canonical order of all 66 books. Nothing is shuffled and nothing is read twice: each plan is a single pass through the Bible, split into equal daily portions. If you would rather not read the Old Testament front to back on its own, the 90-day plan reaches Matthew sooner simply because it moves faster.

Which translation is this reading plan for?

The King James Version. Every passage on this page links to the KJV text on this site, which is in the public domain and free to read in full. The day-by-day references also work with any other translation — the chapter and verse numbering is the same.

Do I have to start on January 1?

No. The readings are numbered by day rather than dated, so Day 1 is whatever day you begin. Starting in the middle of a year costs you nothing, and it removes the main reason people abandon a dated plan — falling a week behind in February and feeling the calendar has already beaten them.

What happens if I fall behind?

Pick up at the next unread day rather than doubling up to catch the calendar. A reader who finishes the Bible in fourteen months has read the whole Bible; a reader who quits in March at Leviticus has not. If the daily portion is consistently too long, move from the 90-day plan to the 365-day plan rather than stopping.
