Read the Bible in Chinese and English — side by side, verse by verse — with tools no other Bible app offers. Loqu8 Bible pairs the Chinese Union Version (CUV) with the King James Version (KJV), adds pinyin pronunciation above every Chinese character, and links every word to Strong's Concordance numbers so you can trace the original Hebrew and Greek. THREE WAYS TO READ Choose the profile that fits how you study: • Reader — Clean bilingual text. Chinese and English, nothing else. Perfect for devotional reading. • Student — Adds color-coded pinyin above Chinese characters. Learn pronunciation while you read Scripture. • Scholar — Full interlinear view: Chinese with pinyin, English with Strong's numbers, plus the original Hebrew or Greek text with transliteration. See how every word connects across languages. STRONG'S CONCORDANCE Tap any Strong's number to see the original Hebrew or Greek word, its definition, transliteration, and morphology. Trace word meanings across the entire Bible without switching apps. HEBREW & GREEK INTERLINEAR The original-language text appears below each verse — right-to-left Hebrew for the Old Testament, Greek for the New Testament — with word-by-word transliteration. PINYIN & TONE COLORS Every Chinese character shows its pinyin pronunciation. Optional tone coloring marks the four tones visually — first tone red, second orange, third green, fourth blue — so tonal patterns become visible at a glance. SIMPLIFIED & TRADITIONAL Switch between simplified and traditional Chinese characters with one tap. Both use the same CUV text, re-rendered in your preferred character set.
