About

Every day, Sacred Scriptorium sets a small portion of Scripture on your desk — the next few untranslated verses of the book you've chosen, in the original Greek or Hebrew. You render them in your own words. That's the whole practice: ten minutes, most days, and verse by verse the Scriptures become your own translation. MADE FOR REAL PROGRESS • Today's portion picks up exactly where you left off — no syllabus, no falling behind • Tap any word for its dictionary form, meaning, and full parsing; help when you want it, silence when you don't • Optional transliteration under the Greek while your alphabet confidence grows • A daily streak, and Stats that show how much of the New Testament is in your own words • Peek at the Berean Standard Bible on demand — hidden by default, so the rendering stays yours THE COMPLETE GREEK NEW TESTAMENT All 27 books of the SBL Greek New Testament ship in the app, with word-by-word morphology and the SBLGNT's own critical apparatus for readers who want to see the textual variants. THE HEBREW BIBLE, BOOK BY BOOK Hebrew Bible books (Westminster Leningrad Codex) with morpheme-level analysis — prefixes, suffixes, and stems each explained, with qere/ketiv notes. YOUR TRANSLATION, ACCUMULATING • The My Translation shelf fills in verse by verse, book by book • Revise any verse; keep parallel translation sets (a literal pass, a colloquial one) • Write chapter notes right from the translation desk • Study any chapter in side-by-side panes: original, your translation(s), the Berean Standard Bible, and your notes — two panes on iPhone, up to four on iPad and Mac • Compose and share any span of verses as clean prose, with your own paragraphing VOCABULARY THAT STICKS A spaced-repetition trainer built from New Testament frequency tiers quietly grows what you can read unaided — and everything you translate feeds what the app knows you know. FREE TO START, ONE PURCHASE FOR EVERYTHING John, Philippians, and 1 John in Greek, and Jonah and Ruth in Hebrew, are free forever — months of daily practice. A single small one-time purchase unlocks every other book of the Greek New Testament and the Hebrew Bible. No subscription, ever. QUIET BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your translations sync privately through your own iCloud, visible to no one but you. Works fully offline. For pastors keeping a promise to their Greek, students who want daily contact with the text, and curious readers ready to meet the Scriptures in their original languages.

What's New in Sacred Scriptorium

1.4

October 1, 2026

ONE MORE VERSE Want to finish the passage you're in? On the last verse of your portion, "Save & Translate Another Verse" keeps you going one verse at a time. When you finish, you can review and polish everything you translated in that sitting. YOUR OWN GLOSSES When the built-in gloss doesn't fit the passage, add your own. Open any word's popover, choose Details, then "Add my gloss." Your gloss appears beneath the built-in one while you read and on the back of your trainer cards. GLOSS PACKS Keep your glosses in packs: one for Mark, one for a Hebrew class, one for your own study. Turn packs on or off with a checkbox, choose a default pack, or file a new gloss into any pack as you add it. A NEW PACK EDITOR Open a pack to see every word and gloss in a table and edit them in place. "Add Words" searches the whole Greek New Testament and the Hebrew books on your device. Type Greek or Hebrew with or without accents and vowel points, a transliteration, a Strong's number, or plain English. SHARE PACKS WITH A CLASS Export a pack as a file and share it. Students import it with one tap, and when you send a revised version, importing it updates their copy instead of adding a duplicate. ALSO NEW • Separate text-size settings for Greek and Hebrew (set independently on Mac and iPhone/iPad) • The book picker now shows only the books for the language you're changing • Tidier verse ranges on Today, like "Mark 7:9–15, 7:17–19" • Hover over a book's progress bar on Mac or iPad to see its exact percentage • Printing now works on Mac and is available on iPhone and iPad
