Pure Bible Focus is for learning a passage by heart. It shows you the King James text with some of it taken away, and gives it back the moment you ask.
HIDE THE WORDS YOU KNOW
Choose the words to take out of the page — any word the King James uses, or a wildcard like lamb* that covers lamb, lambs and every other form at once. What is hidden leaves a blank where it stood, so the shape of the verse is still there to think against. One switch on the bar puts every word back, and another puts them away again, without losing the list you built.
TAKE A WORD DOWN TO A CLUE
Three ways, and you choose which the switch applies:
• Ends — In t-e b-------g G-d
• Consonants — -n th- b-g-nn-ng G-d
• Vowels — I- --e -e-i--i-- -o-
Every dash stands for exactly one letter, so the line keeps its length and a word you half-remember is still the right shape on the page.
READ IT BACKWARDS
Reverse the words of every verse and the sentence you have been reciting from memory stops carrying you along. The punctuation stays where the text put it; only the words move.
PRESS A VERSE TO SEE IT WHOLE
Hold any verse and it comes back in full — nothing hidden, nothing masked, in its own order. Hold it again and it goes back under the lens. Several verses can stand open at once, and turning the page forgets them, because it is a glance rather than a setting.
GIVE A WORD WEIGHT
Mark the words a passage turns on and they stand out in size and colour wherever they appear. Nothing is reordered and nothing is added — emphasis changes how a word looks and never what the verse says.
THE WHOLE KING JAMES, IN YOUR HAND
The 1769 King James is inside the app: 66 books, 1,189 chapters, 31,102 verses. Swipe left and right to turn the page and the text follows your finger, from Genesis straight through to Revelation. Tap any word for Noah Webster's 1828 — the edition that defines the English the King James is written in — and for where that word falls in the verse, the chapter, the book and the whole Bible, with its letters, vowels and consonants counted.
KEEP THE VERSES YOU ARE WORKING ON
Bookmark a verse from the word sheet or by holding it, file it in folders of your own, and come back to it by name.
NOTHING ELSE
No account. No network. No advertising, no analytics, nothing collected. The whole Bible is inside the app, so it works with the phone in airplane mode, and it is free.
CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE
Pure Bible Focus is built on the data model of King James Pure Bible Search written by Donna Whisnant at purebiblesearch.com, and follows it deliberately, down to the text and the way it is printed.
