About

NGET Bible

Features
Read full description

Understand the Bible like the first audience did. The New Ground English Translation (NGET) is the whole Bible, translated from Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek into the English people speak today. When a word means more than one English word can say, it's marked in the text. Tap it to see what's underneath. PLAIN ENGLISH, NOTHING LEFT OUT Every idea in the original stays in the English. What goes is the church vocabulary that stands between a modern reader and the meaning. Grace becomes "undeserved kindness." Repent becomes "rethink everything." Eternal life becomes "limitless life." WORD NOTES More than 43,000 notes sit beside the text. Each one shows the Hebrew or Greek word, what it means literally, what a first reader would have known, and why NGET chose its wording. ABOUT EACH CHAPTER A short background opens every chapter: when and where it was written, who it was written for, and what was happening. READ YOUR WAY - Opens where you left off - Light, sepia and dark pages, or match your device - Text sizes from Smallest to Low vision, on top of your iPhone's own text size - A book typeface or a plain one - Verse by verse, or as flowing paragraphs - Verse numbers and word-note marks you can turn off - Works with VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Bold Text SHARE AND QUOTE Tap verses to select them, or press and hold one, then copy or share. Shared text includes the reference and a link back to the verse. HOW IT'S MADE Anthropic's AI model, Claude, drafted each chapter under published guidelines that people wrote and keep revising. People are reviewing the chapters one at a time, and each chapter shows whether its review is done. Spot a problem? Report it from any verse. FREE TO USE No account, no ads. The translation is licensed CC BY 4.0: quote it, print it, read it aloud, or build on it.
