Your notes never leave your device. Optional Premium adds three deep study tools for one lifetime price: Greek and Hebrew word study, cross-references, and inductive marking.

The original languages get to speak. CROSS-REFERENCES — Five Scripture-interprets-Scripture connections for any verse, each with a short explanation of the link.

INDUCTIVE MARKING — Mark words across the whole Bible by category — key terms, repeated phrases, characters, time markers, locations. Categories travel with you from passage to passage so you can see structure and theme at a glance. — ABOUT THE BSV — The Biblical Standard Version is an original translation by Straight Truth Press, built from a let-Scripture-interpret-Scripture hermeneutic. 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.

The Path Few Choose is a Bible study app built around a simple idea: read the text the way it was actually written, and see the historical record that stands behind it. The Path Few Choose is a subscription app: everything listed below is included with the Premium subscription — $7.99 per year after a 7-day free trial. Nothing is sold separately. WHAT'S INSIDE • The full Old and New Testaments, plus the Apocrypha, the Book of Enoch, and the Book of Jubilees — every chapter, not a curated excerpt. • Word-by-word interlinear study for the entire Bible: the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic text alongside a literal English rendering for every word, in every chapter. • Faithful translation formatting — narrative reads as narrative, poetry reads as poetry with its original line structure and indentation, laws and genealogies keep their own shape. Mark 5 looks like a story. Psalm 23 looks like a poem. That was the point. • Historical corroboration and contradiction — annotations showing where archaeology, ancient inscriptions, and outside historical sources confirm or complicate the text, sourced and cited, not asserted. • Reading plans and a daily verse to build a habit, not just a reference shelf. • Thematic threads and a people index for tracing a name or an idea across the entire canon. • A timeline connecting scripture to the wider historical record. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most Bible apps optimize for convenience. This one optimizes for going to the source: original languages, original structure, and the historical record, all in one place — nothing watered down, nothing hidden behind a translator's paraphrase. A 7-day free trial is included with the annual subscription. Sign in with Apple to sync your subscription across devices — no separate account or password required.
