1Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος. 2οὗτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν θεόν. 3πάντα δι’ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο, καὶ χωρὶς αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο οὐδὲ ἕν ὃ γέγονεν.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.

What it does

Word Study puts the text, the lexicons and your notes side by side in panels you arrange. Every panel follows the word or verse you click, so what you need is already open.

Reading

Read it four ways

The Berean Standard Bible, with each phrase linked to the Greek or Hebrew behind it; the King James Version; the original text; and an interlinear. Open them side by side.

Your work stays with you

Studies, notes and highlights are saved in your browser, on this device. They aren’t sent anywhere, so back them up now and then from Settings; a backup restores in any browser. If something breaks, the page sends a short error report (the error, the page address and the browser’s name), never your notes.
