Keep Thy Heart Bible Reader for the Web
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
— Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)
Welcome to the Keep Thy Heart Bible app!
Keep Thy Heart Bible Reader for the Web is a Bible reading and study app that runs in your browser.
What you can do
- Read the Bible in any translation that the site provides.
- Study a passage with commentaries, cross-references, topical indexes, and Greek and Hebrew tools, shown beside the text.
- Search by keywords (Standard Search) or by meaning (Ideas Search).
- Use the app on a desktop, tablet, or phone. The layout adapts to the screen size. You can also install it as an app.
Open Source
Keep Thy Heart Bible Reader is open source, which means that the code running it is free for anyone to download and modify. Anyone can host a Bible reader website. The site operator would do the following:
- Download the modules (Bible translations, commentaries, etc.)
- Configure which features are turned on or off (e.g., Ideas Search takes a lot more memory and processing than keyword search)
If a feature described in this guide is missing, it may be turned off on that particular site.
