Berean Standard Bible

About this app

The Berean Standard Bible is a modern, readable translation from the original texts. Its producers have graciously released the BSB to the public domain, and this app is a convenient tool to read and study the full text. The developer (EthnosDev) has also released the source code for the app to the public domain.

The app contains no ads, does not solicit money, and does not track your personal information.

"Freely you have received; freely give."
Matthew 10:8 (BSB)

Ratings and reviews

Great new Bible app. I like all the books being on the home screen, and I love the way the original languages are easy to access when I want them. The developer has been very responsive to suggestions . I love that they have made it public domain. This can allow someone in another country to easily build a Bible app for their language. This is a great app.

Looks wonderful and simple. I would like to request a what is commonly known as Reader's Bible, where we can to choose to turn off chapters, verses, chapters sections titles, red letters and any other things, left only with the book name. Why? Because there are times, we want full focus only the content itself. I have seen other apps do it but not for BSB, it would be great to have it in the settings and users choose to turn off one, many or all. Thank you and blessings.

No ads, or fancy bells and whistles to confuse you with interface. If you're familiar with literal non-KJV translations like NASB or LSB, it stays on the rails. I've already checked choice scriptures and didn't feel lost in wording... bereaning the BSB if you will.
