www.BibleGateway.com with passage lookup nkjv & niv and iphone app online
religioninfowww.biblegateway.com provides the entire text of the Protestant Bible on
the internet in over 20 English versions as well as translations in 35
other languages, including Spanish and Farsi. For those who want to
listen to the Scriptures, the site also offers 6 different English audio
Bibles and a small selection of other languages. The mobile app now
allows smart phone and tablet users to use the website wherever they
are.
One of the most utilized features of the website is the search feature.
This allows the user to find a specific verse or reference by typing in
only a word or two. This website thus acts as a concordance. The passage
search feature will bring up a particular part of the Bible if the user
already knows the exact chapter and verse. The website allows the user
to set which version or translation is the preferred one, and subsequent
passages will be shown in that version.
Biblegateway.com is more than just an online Bible. The site also
provides customizable reading plans, which allow the user to design a
way to read part or all of the Bible in a given amount of time. For
those who want a little more assistance with spending time in The Word,
the site publishes devotionals for daily use. For even deeper study,
there are two commentaries available on selected books of the Bible on
the site.
Bible Gateway also provides a venue for believers to connect with each
other. The blog on the website discusses contemporary Christian issues
and posts links to other articles of import from the internet. The
newsletters are optional and cover various topics. Some are delivered
daily, others weekly, and others once or twice a month. Topics include
everything from Devotionals for Couples to Women of the Bible. Users can
also sign up to receive a daily Bible verse as well as their daily
Bible reading to be emailed to them.
