Deep Study Bible Commentary vs Margin

Most Bible apps hand you the text and stop there. Deep Study Bible Commentary puts the commentary right beside the verse — and then lets you go underneath it. Tap any word in the Berean Study Bible and the Strong's entry opens: the Greek or Hebrew lexeme, the definition, and every other place in Scripture the same word is used. That is the whole idea. Read the verse. Read what it means. Read what it says in the language it was written in. Without leaving the chapter. WHAT YOU CAN DO Read with commentary open Matthew Henry (Concise and Complete), Adam Clarke, Barnes' Notes, Wesley's Notes and Scofield's Reference Notes, verse by verse, in a pane next to the text instead of buried three taps away. Go to the original languages Strong's-tagged Berean Study Bible, full Greek and Hebrew lexicon, concordance lookup and a word study popup. Tap a word, see everywhere else it appears. Put translations side by side Seven translations download for offline reading — KJV, ASV, ERV, WEB, YLT, AKJV and the Berean Study Bible. Compare them in a swipe, or open two at once on a tablet. More translations are on the way. Follow the cross-references Treasury of Scripture Knowledge cross-references are live links. Tap one and it takes you there and centers the verse — anywhere in the app, including inside your own notes. Study on a real canvas On iPad, web and desktop you can open up to three synchronized panes at once — Scripture, commentary, cross-references, lexicon, bookmarks or your journal — and resize them. It is the closest thing to a desk covered in open books that fits in a bag. Keep a journal that knows what a verse is Record a voice memo while you keep reading — the recorder stays live and minimizes to a floating pill. It transcribes afterward. Type a reference anywhere in an entry and it becomes a tappable link. Attach photos, video and audio. Tag entries, mark prayers answered, and search inside a single entry. Preach and teach from it Minister Mode is hands-free. Say "second Corinthians five seventeen" and the reader goes there, the screen stays awake, and the app quietly builds a timestamped log of every passage you turned to — so your sermon notes write themselves while you're speaking. Study with your group Share journal entries with a home group, set view or edit access, and revoke it whenever you want. Take it offline Translations and commentaries download as modular packs. Everything you've downloaded works with no signal — on a plane, on a mission trip, in a basement.

You know the moment: mid-sermon, the phone next to you lights up with a full-screen ad. Or you open a Bible app to read one verse and land in a feed instead. Margin is what's left when you take all of that away: the text, set with real care, and study tools deep enough to keep you here. No feed. No ads. No account required. Scripture is free in Margin, forever, and it always will be. THE COVENANT We built the business model around the complaints people leave on every other Bible app. - Scripture is free, always. Charging for God's word isn't something we're willing to do. - One honest price for the study toolset, and no subscription anywhere in the app. Buy it once, like a good study Bible, instead of renting it every month. - No account, ever. Highlights and notes sync through your own private iCloud. We never see them. - Nothing that's free today gets taken away later. - We never ask you to rate the app, and reading-plan streaks forgive a missed day instead of resetting to zero. READ, THE WAY A PRINTED BIBLE READS (free, always) - Three complete translations bundled offline: Berean Standard, World English, and King James - Real book typography: poetry set as poetry, psalm titles where they belong, section headings that orient you - True black for reading at night, sepia for a paper-like calm, and a font-size range built for eyes that need it - Opens exactly where you left off, every time STUDY AS DEEP AS YOU WANT (Margin Pro, one-time purchase) - Tap any word for the Greek or Hebrew behind it: lemma, transliteration, and a full definition from a 14,000-entry Strong's lexicon, entirely offline - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary, sitting beside the passage, offline - Two translations, side by side - Search the way a concordance works: exact phrases, Old or New Testament filters, results in the Bible's own order - Follow a cross-reference, then tap once to come back, like keeping your finger in the page - Listen to any chapter read aloud: real human narration (World English Bible, public domain), with adjustable speed and a sleep timer - Family Sharing included: one purchase covers your household SHARE A VERSE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (free for everyone) Most Bible apps turn a verse into a stock quote graphic. Margin turns it into something you'd actually send to the one person you were already thinking of: your own words in the margin, written by hand with Apple's own pencil tools, not a font pretending to be your handwriting. Put someone's name on it, or keep it plain. It's free for everyone, because getting Scripture into someone's hands shouldn't cost either of you anything. BUILD THE HABIT WITHOUT THE SHAME - Reading plans from John in 21 days to the whole Bible in a year: scripture only, no devotional filler - A missed day never breaks your streak, and you can turn streaks off completely - Highlights in six colors and notes on any verse, all in one browse-everything screen, independent of translation BUILT FOR IPHONE, NOT PORTED TO IT - Verse-of-the-day widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen - Shortcuts that jump straight back to your place - Fast and native, with Dynamic Type that holds up at any size AN AI THAT POINTS, NEVER SPEAKS FOR GOD (three free questions a day) Ask about the chapter you have open, or find passages by theme: "anxiety about the future," "forgiving someone who isn't sorry." Every verse it shows is pulled from your Bible rather than written by the model, and every claim cites book and chapter. It admits what it doesn't know, and it never claims to speak for God. Three questions a day are free for everyone. No account, no card, nothing to cancel. Margin Pro lifts the count for good. This used to be a separate monthly subscription. The cost of running it dropped far enough that charging monthly would have meant charging you for almost nothing, so we folded it into the one-time price and dropped the subscription. Margin. A Bible with nothing between you and the text.
