How we source, check, and correct what we publish
Bible Sundays is a reference site. That only works if you can check us. This page sets out where our material comes from, who is accountable for it, how it is reviewed before publication, and what happens when we get something wrong.

Our principles
Scripture is quoted, never paraphrased
Every verse on this site is quoted from the King James Version and carries its chapter-and-verse reference. We do not paraphrase Scripture and then present it as the text. Where we summarise a passage in our own words, the summary is clearly ours and the underlying verses are cited so you can read them yourself.
Textual claims and interpretive claims are kept apart
There is a difference between what a passage says and what a passage means. The first is verifiable; the second has been debated for centuries. We state textual facts plainly, and we flag interpretation as interpretation — including, where it matters, the main positions faithful readers have historically held. We do not write from a denominational position or present one tradition's reading as the only possible one.
Original-language claims are sourced
When a page says a Hebrew or Greek word carries a particular sense, that claim is tied to its Strong's Concordance entry and linked, so the lexical basis is one click away. We do not build an argument on a word meaning we cannot point you to.
How we use AI, stated plainly
Some drafting and structural work on this site is assisted by AI tools. Nothing is published on that basis alone. Every Scripture quotation and reference is verified against the KJV text before publication, and every page carries a named reviewer who is accountable for its accuracy. Our AI feature 'Ask the Bible' is labelled as AI wherever it appears and always returns cited verses so its answers can be checked. We would rather tell you this than have you find it out.
Which translation we use, and why
Every page on this site quotes the King James Version. We use it for two reasons. It is in the public domain, which means we can quote it in full, without restriction, and you can copy any passage from this site freely. And it is the translation most widely referenced in the English-speaking devotional tradition, so the phrasing on this site matches the phrasing most readers are searching for.
We are not claiming the KJV is the only legitimate English translation. Where a KJV rendering is genuinely difficult, archaic, or disputed, we say so on the page and give the sense of the underlying Hebrew or Greek rather than leaving you stuck.
How a page gets published
- 1
Research and draft
An editor works from the KJV text itself, plus public-domain reference works, and drafts the page around what the passage actually establishes.
- 2
Quotation check
Every quoted verse is compared word for word against the KJV, and every reference is resolved to confirm it points at the text quoted.
- 3
Claim check
The Scripture Desk separates textual claims from interpretive ones, verifies any original-language claim against its Strong's entry, and removes anything that overstates what the text supports.
- 4
Publish with attribution
The page goes live with a visible author, a named reviewer, and a last-reviewed date. All three appear in the page's structured data as well, so they are machine-readable and can be held against us.
- 5
Scheduled re-review
Pages are revisited on a rolling basis. When a page is re-checked, its last-reviewed date moves. When it is materially rewritten, we say so on the page.

Accuracy Review
The review pass that checks every quotation, reference, and original-language claim before publication.
Corrections policy
We publish a lot of Scripture references, and we will get some of them wrong. If you find a misquoted verse, a reference that points at the wrong passage, a broken original-language claim, or a statement that overreaches what the text supports, tell us and we will fix it.
- Factual errors in a quotation or reference are corrected as a priority, and the page's last-reviewed date is updated.
- Where a correction changes the meaning of a page, we note the change on the page rather than editing silently.
- Where the disagreement is interpretive rather than factual, we will consider adding the alternative reading instead of replacing ours.
Independence and funding
Bible Sundays is free to read and does not require an account to use. The site is not produced by, funded by, or accountable to any denomination, church, or ministry organisation, and no third party pays for favourable coverage or placement in our content.
Where the site carries advertising or affiliate links, those are labelled and are kept separate from editorial judgement. No commercial relationship determines what we publish, what we recommend, or how a passage is explained.
Keeping this current
This page is reviewed whenever our process changes, and at minimum twice a year. If you want to understand how a specific page was produced, its byline links to the editor responsible and shows the date it was last checked.
