Scripture Alone Bible vs My Bible Beacon

Scripture Alone is a Bible for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, built for one thing: studying God's word without anything in the way. No ads. No trackers. No accounts. The Bible lives on your device, so it works anywhere, online or off. Read the whole Bible, offline The New American Standard Bible — NASB 2020 is on your device from the moment it installs. The NASB 1995, American Standard Version, Berean Standard Bible and King James Version download the first time you choose one. Full-text search, the words of Christ in red, poetry set as poetry, and footnotes a tap away. What the Bible says about what you're going through Topics gathers passages for 72 themes — anxiety, grief, loneliness, fear, marriage, waiting and more — in the translation you read. Type a feeling like "anxious" in Go To and its topic comes up. In English, Nave's Topical Bible is there too, A to Z. Bring your own Bibles Import a DRM-free ePub, a Bible PDF with a text layer or a USFM file you own, or browse the openly licensed translations on eBible.org. A study Bible brings its notes, introductions, essays and maps; the words of Christ carry over in red; and your imports reach your other devices through your iCloud. The ESV, CSB and NKJV can be read with your own publisher key, or from a copy you've imported. In your language Also in Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Korean, Portuguese and Italian, each with a whole Bible of its own. A built-in, illustrated User Guide in your language covers every feature. Make it comfortable Seven typefaces, adjustable size and spacing, five themes, paragraphs or verse by verse, full Dynamic Type, two columns on a wide screen, and auto-scroll into the next chapter. Go straight there Type "jn 3 16" or "rom 8:28-39" to jump to a passage, or search any word or phrase. Highlight, note and favorite Highlight in five colors, favorite the verses you return to, and attach notes to one or more passages — a Sunday sermon on Romans 8:1–17, say. The Highlights list gathers every marked verse in Bible order, and Notes, Highlights and Favorites narrow to one book or chapter. Export notes as PDF, Markdown or text, or bring years of them in from Life Bible (formerly Tecarta) or a CSV. Snap the sermon slide Photograph the slide at church and Scripture Alone starts your note: titled, linked to every passage on the slide, its points ready to fill in.
