PARALLEL PLUS Bible vs Pax Bible

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.

The Pax Bible apps offer many cool features, yet appear modest and straightforward. Free of charge and ad-free. Ten Bible translations are pre-installed, and over 2000 more in over 800 languages can be easily imported. The app itself is currently available in 6 languages. The iOS app offers the full range of functions also when offline. A login or a registration is not necessary. One of the outstanding features is the comparison function. This allows two translations to be read synchronously side by side, in the same or a different language. If the selected translations contain the Strong numbers for the Hebrew and Greek root words, tapping on a word will also highlight the corresponding word in the other column. The search function offers simple yet powerful options, such as searching for multiple words that must be close to each other, regardless of their order. When the comparison function is active, both translations are searched simultaneously. The words or parts of sentences found are highlighted in color. In addition, individual words, verses or chapters can be marked with freely definable colors. For words, you can choose whether they should be displayed accordingly in just one verse, in one chapter or in the entire Bible. Thanks to the Strong numbers, the colors of the words in other translations are also displayed. Other functions include: • Highlight Jesus' words in color • Extensive list of parallel passages • Searchable notes on verses • Roll the dice to select a "random" verse • Reading plans (e.g. PowerHour) • Create QR codes: If these are pictured from a screen with the camera app, the installed Pax Bible app or otherwise a browser opens at the selected location • Read aloud function (not available for all languages) • Dimmed mode • Bible statistics with all words, sorted by frequency • Super fast None of the functions mentioned are presented in an intrusive way, so it is easy to focus on God's word, which is the main purpose of the Pax Bible apps. May God touch many hearts through the Pax Bible apps!
