How this list was compiled

A list of 127 Bible study group names written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-02 and filed in five groups. Each name in the fourth group is taken from a verse and is printed with its book, chapter and verse and the words it comes from. Every one was read again on 2026-10-03 in the World English Bible, a public-domain translation, in the edition at https://ebible.org/engwebp/, and the quoted words are printed as that text has them. The names of the books of the Bible in the other groups follow the same edition. None was taken from a denomination, a named church, a ministry, a curriculum or a publisher. Every name was looked up on 2026-10-03 as an exact title in English Wikipedia and in Open Library: none is the title of a ministry or a curriculum there, and several verse phrases are also titles of books and films. Short names like these are used by many churches, and no list of churches or ministries was searched. Compared by script the same day with every other list on this site: no name is repeated. Nothing was checked against a trademark register. "World English Bible" is a trademark of eBible.org, and this site is not connected with it. Licence: own work
