Translations

Modern
Berean Standard Bible. A readable, accurate modern translation, dedicated to the public domain. This is the default text, and the one the word-by-word view and concordance are built on.
Traditional
King James Version. The 1611 translation in its familiar wording, in the public domain.
Literal
Berean Literal Bible. A word-for-word companion to the Berean Standard Bible that stays close to the wording and order of the Hebrew and Greek.
Latin
Clementine Vulgate. The Latin Bible of the Western church for more than a thousand years, in the edition of 1592 (public domain). Its verses are numbered differently in places, most visibly in the Psalms, so here they are renumbered to match the English translations using STEPBible’s versification data. Where the Latin has one verse for two English verses, the reader shows them together, as in “10–11”.

The original languages

The word-by-word view links each Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek word to its English. Every word belongs to a dictionary entry identified by its Strong’s number — a numbering of biblical words published by James Strong in 1890 and still used by most Bible software. Numbers start with H for Hebrew and Aramaic or G for Greek (for example, G26 is ἀγάπη, love); you can type one into the lexicon search.
Choose Original while reading to see a chapter in Hebrew (with Aramaic in parts of Ezra and Daniel) or Greek: the same text the word-by-word view is built from, with the Modern translation’s headings and paragraphs. A dash marks a verse that isn’t in that text, such as Matthew 17:21.
Greek definitions are from Abbott-Smith’s Manual Greek Lexicon of the New Testament (1922); Hebrew definitions are from Strong’s Hebrew dictionary. Word forms, glosses, and grammar come from STEPBible (Tyndale House, Cambridge).

People, places, and the glossary

People and places are identified individually by STEPBible, so that, for instance, each of the Bible’s 29 Zechariahs has its own page. Related verses come from OpenBible.info, ranked by readers’ votes. Glossary articles are adapted from the Tyndale Open Bible Dictionary via the Aquifer Open Bible Dictionary.
