### 5/5 — One of the best Bibles.

*2024-09-12*

This is a fantastic Bible. I love it. Unfortunately you can’t get it in hardcover, but I have two in soft cover and with this app I’m able to carry it around with me everywhere. Thank you so much.

### 5/5 — Outstanding resource

*2024-08-02*

Thank you so much! An incredible resource, I love the notes which give insights into some of the original language and intent, it’s bringing the transmission of the bible alive in a way I’ve never experienced before.

### 5/5 — EOB

*2024-06-02*

The Eastern Orthodox Bible is great way to read the bible if you don’t have time to buy Bible. I just wanna say that this is the BEST BIBLE APP IN TH WHOLE WORLD ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 4/5 — Old Testament

*2023-10-04*

Would be a 5 star if it had the Old Testament

### 5/5 — Very Good Bible, Have Been Using It For A While

*2023-06-28*

This Bible is very good. Helped me get closer with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

### 1/5 — Good if you want a Protestant Bible

*2022-09-18*

Title

### 5/5 — A very good app

*2021-12-04*

A very good app for Christians who want to want to read the Bible but doesn't have one

### 4/5 — The app has disappeared

*2018-11-01*

Unable to reopen it

### 5/5 — Great NT version

*2017-03-25*

Great faithful translation. Keeps clear of modern questionable translation trends that has produced the likes of the NIV and the like. Looking forward to the Old Testament translation.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!

*2015-12-12, version 5.1.2*

I love it!!! The translation makes so much more sense!!!

In the NKJV (which is used for the New Testament in the Orthodox Study Bible) it says "a smoking flax he will not quench" That makes no sense.

In the Eastern Orthodox Bible, it says:
"He will not put out a smoking wick"
That is much clearer and much more easier to understand!!!
