memory verses
Learned Bible passages
Memory verses are short passages from religious scripture, especially the Bible, selected for memorization.
The practice is common in Christian education, where children and adults commit verses to heart for spiritual guidance and quick recall: We learned memory verses in Sunday school.
The term implies both the text itself and the discipline of committing it to memory.
