How this was computed – counting rule: Every covered verse (baseline) / Named verses only; data: Official; as of Nov 9, 2026, 11:09 PM UTC

Neutral key: nrf1:LUK.023.025

Metric
Verse-level uses: every citation adds one for each verse it covers, under the counting rule. A citation of three verses adds 3. (definition)
Counting rule
Every covered verse (baseline) The baseline rule: every mention of every verse counts; a chapter or a range counts once for each verse it covers, and an unknown repetition counts as one. (definition) – uses; references to a whole chapter count for each of its verses
Named verses only Like the baseline rule, but only references that name verses count; whole chapters and books are left out. The Top 100 verses use it, so a chapter reference does not lift every verse of the chapter. (definition) – uses naming the verse (owner decision P5); the basis of the Top 100 and of the rank
Profile
Official The official profile of every public number: only reviewed and approved entries whose evidence quality is high enough. (definition) – reviewed and approved data only
Epoch
131, published Nov 9, 2026, 11:09 PM UTC (provisional)
Sequence
Protestant canon, 66 books (KJV numbering) prot66.nrf, mapping release R9
Rank
As in the Top 100: uses naming the verse, highest first, over the verses named at least once; tied verses share a rank.
Uses
Approved public uses of the data shown, with at least one cited passage on these verses. The list follows the current approved data; the numbers are those of the epoch.
