"I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war."

— Revelation 19:11 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about Faithful and True want Scripture on the Rider's name in Revelation 19:11 — pistos and alēthinos — not only the faithfulness virtue list or the broader Jesus title inventory alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about faithfulness, Bible verses about the Lamb, Bible verses about the Word, Bible verses about truth, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, and Bible verse of the day. Faithful and True here means Christ's apocalyptic name as the just Rider — distinct from faithfulness-as-fruit lists or Amen-title focus (Revelation 3:14 lives on the Amen page).

Word study (lead theme). In Greek, "faithful" is πιστός pistos (Strong's G4103; Bible Hub G4103) — faithful, trustworthy, reliable — and "true" is ἀληθινός alēthinos (Strong's G228; Bible Hub G228) — true, genuine, real. Revelation 19:11 names the Rider Faithful and True; this list tracks that double title and related trustworthy-witness language, not the whole faithfulness or Jesus inventory.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Revelation 19 treats the white horse and the Rider called Faithful and True (Bible Hub MHC Revelation 19; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Revelation 19). Revelation 1 presses Christ as the faithful witness (Bible Hub MHC Revelation 1; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Revelation 1). (Faithfulness and Jesus lists live on those pages; this list centers Faithful and True.)
