There are no verses in most standard English translations of the Bible that explicitly begin with the letter Q. However, this largely depends on the translation and the phrasing used, as different versions (e.g., King James Version, New International Version) may word verses differently.
How Bible Verses Begin
Most Bible verses in English translations start with common letters like A, B, C, or T. Rare letters, such as Q, are uncommon because of the way ancient texts (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek) were translated into English.
Searching for “Q”
1. Questions in the Bible: Some verses begin with phrases like “Quickly” or “Quench” in certain translations.
Example: 1 Thessalonians 5:19 (KJV)
“Quench not the Spirit.”
While not starting with Q in all translations, this is one notable example.
2. Phrase Rearrangements: In some modern paraphrased translations (like The Message), the structure of verses may be reworded to begin with Q.
Alternative Approach
If you’re looking for a verse that features a word starting with “Q” but doesn’t necessarily begin the verse:
John 19:28 (NIV) mentions “quenched” (referring to thirst).
Isaiah 42:3 (KJV) includes “quench” in describing God’s character.
