Examine is a quiet, scripture-first Bible reader for people who want to read closely and think carefully. Named for the Bereans of Acts 17:11 who "examined the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so", Examine is built for that kind of reading, and it holds one firm line: the AI never writes or paraphrases Scripture. Every verse comes straight from a published translation, shown exactly as published. READ • NIV, NLT, The Message, and ESV • A calm, typographic reader that opens any verse in its full chapter, never stripped of context • Highlight verses in four colors; highlights follow the verse across translations • Everything saved on your device with no account required STUDY • Ask: pose a question and get a grounded answer that points to the passages it rests on • Weigh: test any teaching, lyric, sermon, or quote against Scripture; Examine surfaces the passages for and against, and lets you judge • Trace: follow a phrase across the whole canon, Genesis to Revelation, verified verse by verse • Greek interlinear: read the New Testament word by word, with lemmas, parsing, and every place a word appears PRINCIPLES • Scripture is never generated, paraphrased, or summarized by AI • No ads, no tracking, no account • The reading, and the conclusions, are yours Examine points you to the Word. The rest is between you and it.

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.
