## What is The Plain Bible?

The King James Bible, with every verse in plain English.

You have heard of this book your whole life, and its language can be hard to read today. The Plain Bible gives you each verse in words you already know, with the King James right under it. Nothing is skipped, nothing is softened, nothing is added. A hard passage comes out exactly as hard as it went in.

FOUR READINGS, ONE FOR EACH AGE
Every verse is rendered four times: for kids (5 to 8), preteens (9 to 12), teens (13 to 17) and adults. Switch in one tap without losing your place, so a parent can read with two children of different ages from one phone.

NOTES WHERE THE OLD WORDS MISLEAD
Some King James words have changed meaning since 1611, and a few have reversed. Where an old word means something different now, or a coin, an hour or an object is unfamiliar, a short note explains the language. A note never tells you what to think.

THE WHOLE BIBLE, ON YOUR PHONE
All 66 books, with the Apocrypha and 1 Enoch, are inside the app. Read with no connection at all.

ALSO
• The words of Jesus in red
• Read aloud, with the page moving at reading speed
• Reading plans: the whole Bible in a year, or the Gospels in a month
• People: follow one life through the whole Bible
• Search by what a verse says
• Teaching outlines for most chapters, and a glossary of King James words
• Read together: open a room and read a chapter with other people, in your own voices
• Highlights, notes and drawings, kept with a free account across phone and web

The plain-English readings are written from the source texts, never from the King James alone, and the adult reading has been checked verse by verse against the Hebrew and Greek. Simplification removes; it never invents.
