#### Read and study Scripture

BibleText is a clean, unhurried place to read Scripture. No ads, no accounts, no tracking — just the text, carefully set, with the tools you use while reading.

• Four translations: World English Bible, WEB Catholic with the deuterocanon, Berean Standard Bible, and the New King James Version through API.Bible
• Words of Christ in red, the publishers' own headings and paragraphs, poetry set as poetry
• Search, cross-references and Gospel parallels; Go to for references such as John 3:16
• Notes carried inside a shared link — no account, no server
• Recorded public-domain narration with read-along highlighting
• Optional AI study with your own provider key; leave Assistant set to None to switch it off

Works offline once a translation has downloaded. Free and open source.
