I like that everything is wrapped with classes so I can target with CSS and modify
the look of the widget to match my website. Easy to choose a translation. Great 
plugin for getting the word of God out there!

Most of the reviews on this plugin are several years old, so I'm adding my review
to show that the Bible Verse of the Day plugin is still viable – and works great.
After searching endlessly on google for a daily verse widget with code that actually
functions, I came upon this one. It's so easy to install from the WP plugin library.
By using the 'inspect' tool on my browser, I was able to customize it with CSS to
match my site. I love how it looks, and the verse changes each time the page is 
refreshed. Thank you to the plugin creator for keeping it updated as well!

I had been looking for a WordPress Plugin for some time that would allow me to add
the Bible Verse of the day to the website, it was nice to work with you on the Italian
translation of your plugin. Thank you!

This plugin works perfectly and exactly as described. It also doesn't try to load
any insecure links or data, thus maintaining an https secure web page if your site
uses encrypted protocols. Other plugins I found try to load information from insecure
sources and thus create a mixed-content situation, which is not good for SSL. Thanks
for this!
