REV Bible App

Spirit & Truth Fellowship International

About this app

The REV Bible app was designed to give quick and convenient access to the Revised English Version® Bible, the Bible translation produced by Spirit & Truth®.

The REV translation is a committee based Bible translation project from the ancient Hebrew and Greek texts that aims to provide a robust translation that offers precision in translation yet accessible and readable. The first edition was released and printed in 2013, and the digital version is a second edition that is still in progress.

We also have included a tutorial video to help you understand the features contained in the REV Bible app.

The REV is designed to be a more literal translation whenever the literal rendering can be accurately reflected and understood in modern English vernacular. However, there are times when the REV has departed from a strict literal translation in order to make good sense in English. Strictly literal translations can be more difficult than helpful at times as the mechanics of Greek and Hebrew differ dramatically from English. In addition to grammatical and syntactical differences, idiomatic expressions are rarely cross-lingual as well. In any translation, the objective is to communicate the meaning of the original language in the receptor language. Therefore, if a literal translation obstructs this goal, a more functionally equivalent expression is employed in the Revised English Version.

We hope and pray that the REV Bible app will further your relationship with God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. For more info, visit https://spiritandtruthonline.org/revised-english-version

Ratings and reviews

This is a great version. I find it fairly accurate according to my own Greek and Hebrew research in the books that I write on Christian lifestyle. I wish this version was available for the e-Sword software. Yes I would pay for it. There is one thing though that I don't know what's going on. I have a phone with Android 14 and for some reason it won't let me update to newer versions. Also could you add the ability to copy versus that can be pasted in another software for referencing notes?

My go to Bible app. Very accurate and readable rendering of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Commentaries for verses are exceptional and easy to access without losing the spot where you are reading. Multiple appendix that cover a variety of topics. If you want to understand the Bible, this is the app for you.

I give the translation a 5. My only (superficial) issue is that the word faith is replaced by trust, which makes certain scriptures awkward. "Trust without works is dead" while true to the meaning, doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
