Bible in Context is a free, offline-first Bible study app. Five public-domain translations are bundled in the app, so you can read with no internet: • Berean Standard Bible (BSB) — modern and easy to read. This is the default. • World English Bible (WEB) • King James Version (KJV) • American Standard Version (ASV) • Young's Literal Translation (YLT) The verse of the day is shown in the translation you are reading. A reminder at noon brings that verse while the app is closed. Press Listen to hear a chapter, or a single verse, in your phone's voice. Search finds John 3:16, a whole verse, or a sentence even when a few words are wrong. Every verse opens into a context view. Tap any verse to see: • Cross-references — passages that quote, echo, or sit beside this one (Treasury of Scripture Knowledge) • Greek or Hebrew with Strong's lexicon — tap any word for its meaning, its grammar, and other verses that use it • A plain-English line for what the verse is saying • Verse type and the context of the passage • Study notes from Tyndale, Jamieson-Fausset-Brown, and Matthew Henry, written out in today's English • A short summary of the chapter Personal study tools: • Highlight verses in six colors • Save notes.
