The translation principles are deliberate: baptizo is rendered "immerse," ekklesia is rendered "assembly," hagioi is rendered "God's people." We don't smuggle denominational baggage into the original meanings — we let the words mean what they mean. — PRIVACY-FIRST — No ads. No tracking. No analytics SDKs. Your notes, highlights, and reading history live only on your device. The only data we record is whether you have an active premium entitlement — and even that is anonymous. — SUPPORT — Email support@straighttruthpress.com — every message read, every reasonable feature request considered. Read deeper. Study honest. Welcome to BSV Bible.
