My Favorite Bible Sites for Reading, Listening, and More

Biblehub.com - My favorite for reading if you can get some dark mode tweaks in your browser because the site is bright. Includes a few public domain versions that can be fully quoted and copied without limits. I particularly like the BSV and BSB. There’s also tools to see scripture directly translated from Hebrew and Greek to English so you can enjoy that strong coffee unfiltered, although the sentence structure is very different at times. The cross references feature is also very nice as you click on a single verse to see multiple translations and connected scriptures below. Biblegateway.com  - great for listening in the car etc. Various audio translations and text translations available. BlueLetterBible.org  - this one has really grown on me, especially when I would like to find a particular word  occurrence throughout the entire Bible. The neatly organized search result groupings make it less overwhelming to sift through results from Genesis to Revelation. Many of my ...
