Bible Reading Platform Features

The core features of scripture.how, connecting multilingual Multi-Bible, original-language data, cross references, commentaries, verse comments, and Bible notes on one Bible-text screen.

Bible Reader

Bible reading is the central screen of scripture.how

The Bible reading screen lets you read the text first, then open original-language data, cross references, commentaries, Bible notes, comments, and Multi-Bible at the verses you need. Rather than expanding every resource at once, you choose what you want to see verse by verse and keep your reading flow.

01

Text-centered reading

Choose a Bible, chapter, and translation to read the text, and move naturally with previous/next chapters and history.

02

Connected verse resources

Original-language data, cross references, commentaries, comments, and Multi-Bible are opened from the button at the right of each verse and in the integrated resource popup.

03

Bible note layer

Choose sample Bible notes, my Bible notes, or approved public Bible notes to add an interpretation layer over the text.

Reading

Read the text first, and open only the resources you need

The default screen is the Bible text. Resources and notes are not decoration that hides the text, but supporting layers that open the moment you need them. Switch between text + notes, text only, and hide all to adjust your reading density.

Text + notes
Text only

Resources

Connect original-language data, cross references, and commentaries verse by verse

While reading a verse, if you want a word’s original language, related cross references, or historical commentaries, open the resource button at the right of the verse. Long commentaries and comments can be viewed not only in a popup but also in the right side panel.

Bible Notes

Bible notes you write yourself and study through each author’s interpretation

You can create your own Bible notes, or apply public notes by author to study how different authors interpret the text. Formatting and comments on the text, comments under verses, links to columns and concept dictionaries, and even comments on linked resources such as original-language data, cross references, and commentaries — all of these are managed as one set of Bible-note data.

Compare

Compare multiple translations only when needed

Keeping many translations open all the time can make reading feel long. Apart from whole-chapter comparison, the Multi-Bible feature lets you check only the translations you choose for a specific verse in a popup.

Principle

The Bible reading screen is the starting point for every service

1260 QT, Bible copywork, English Bible study, and Bible-note authoring all start from the Bible text. When the Bible reading screen is solid, every other feature follows naturally.
