PARALLEL PLUS Bible vs My Sword & Shield

The PARALLEL PLUS® Bible-study app is for pastors, lay leaders, and others actively seeking a deeper understanding of the Scriptures. PARALLEL: up to 8 columns, 200+ versions. PLUS Greek and Hebrew word studies (verse lists, unabridged Thayer/BDB/Schleusner, word families). PLUS exegetic helps (parsings, translation tips). Free, install now. EXPERIENCE IT: As you read down the column in one version, when you encounter a verse you'd like to better understand, just move your eyes left-and-right to see how other versions express that verse in its context, and then continue reading the chapter. The idea is to introduce as little eye movement as possible, so you can get into the Scriptures and stay there for a while. BIBLICAL LANGUAGES: See Hebrew and Greek in parallel with other versions. Plus tap any word to lookup the corresponding Hebrew or Greek word and its occurrences. Plus tap any verse to lookup Hebrew or Greek details in a verse: phonetics, parsings, parts of speech, translation tips. GO DEEPER: Tap any word, then tap “word study” to see: verse lists, lexical entries, and word families. Tap any verse, then tap “verse study” to see verse-at-a-time helps: color-coded parts-of-speech, word forms, phonetics, syllables, and translation tips. It also helps you find familiar Bible verses, even when you only remember a few words; enter "God so loved" in the search box and see where that phrase occurs in every Bible version in your parallel Bible. PROTESTANT, CATHOLIC: This app automatically aligns verses—by verse content—and displays corresponding verse numbers when different. COMMENTARY FREE: The act of reading versions in parallel helps readers to understand more deeply. Even without commentary. We feel this is so important that we do not include commentary in our app. LANGUAGES: Biblical Hebrew and Greek plus English, French, German, Hindi, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and about 50 others.

My Sword & Shield is a freely available, ad-free, and feature-rich King James Bible app that is designed to build your faith in Jesus Christ as the saviour of the world and to significantly enhance your Bible study experience! My Sword and Shield also promotes the King James Bible as the word of God for English speakers. It does so by providing you with a growing database of the major changes in modern Bible versions in comparison to the KJV. All Bibles do not say the same thing and often say opposing things. This means that it matters which Bible you use! The app improves your Bible study experience by offering a suite of features at your fingertips, some of which are only currently available in My Sword & Shield. The main features of the app are as follows: FREE FEATURES: - Ad-Free: Don't get distracted by inappropriate ads while reading Scripture. - Offline Mode: Read the KJV and save your study notes while offline. - Cloud Sync: Sync your study data securely and feely to the cloud. - Audio Bible: Listen to the KJV by verse or chapter as narrated by Dan Wagner. - Dictionary: Access the meaning of most words in the KJV with a built-in dictionary. - Change Indicators: Interactive indicators of verses of the KJV that have been altered or removed by modern versions. - Bible Versions Comparison Database: Access to a growing database of differences between the King James Bible and modern versions. - Compare Versions: Compare the King James Bible to modern English versions in the Public Domain.

You can interact with these sermons by commenting, liking or disliking them. - Quizzes: Improve your knowledge of Scripture by taking quizzes from a growing database of questions! - Memory Verses: Save verses and passages you would like to memorise. - Folders & Subfolders: Organise your passages in your personal folders for a structured study experience. - Bookmarks: Bookmark passages that are important to you. - Notes: Save your own notes on verses and passages. - Underline: Underline key words you would like to emphasise. - Highlight: Highlight words or entire verses. - Bold: Bold words for another means of emphasis. - Cross-References: Make your own cross-references between passages. - Copy: Copy verses that you can easily use in discussions and posts. - Share: Share passages from the KJV with other apps and contacts. - Search: Search the KJV for key words and phrases. - Red Letters: The words of Jesus in red letters. - Themes & Styles: Several options for theme colours and text sizes.
