Vine's Expository Bible Dictionary with Holy Bible

Also I recommend you "Bible Concordance & Strongs" which you find in my app. You find there Bible Concordance, Strong's Concordance and Hebrew and Greek dictionaries.

It is a cross-reference from key English words in the Authorized King James Bible Version to the original words in the Greek texts of the New Testament. In his preface to the book, Vine wrote,
- "The present volumes are produced especially for the help of those who do not study Greek, though it is hoped that those who are familiar with the original will find them useful."

Vine did not write an equivalent work for Old Testament Hebrew words; however, Vine's work is sometimes combined with another author's Hebrew dictionary and marketed under Vine's name as a "complete" expository dictionary.

It provides a concise meaning of the original Greek word, often providing Bible verse references as examples. If there are several Greek words that may translate to the same English word, Vine's distinguishes the shadings of meaning and connotation that may be lost in the English translation. For example, there are a number of Greek words that may be translated by the English word love.

Vine's also provides the definition of a word (as used in the King James Version) more accurately than an English dictionary, because it expands the Greek use of the word. For example, the word, "godliness" in 1 Tim. 2:2 is defined in the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary as "1: Divine 2: pious, devout -", but in Vines, it is defined as " 'to be devout,' denotes that piety which is characterized by a Godward attitude, does that which is well-pleasing to Him." So we have a fuller meaning of the word by seeing how the word is used in the NT.

Dear users - I made this dictionary with KJV Bible verses (because it's more popular), but if you want use it with ASV version please let me know.
Also I would like to make clickable Strong Numbers (like Bible verses) - when clicked would open the description and other information about the Strong Number. But I do not know how much you need it. I would be happy to improve this app together!

Ratings and reviews

Compared to my other more popular Bible app I've been using for years, i didn't find this very helpful, considering mine doesn't have ads from the get-go, let alone the fact that not all Bible words are in this dictionary app. Many words i wanted to look up just aren't in this. They give about 15 or 20 words in each letter but it is not exhaustive enough. The Bible pages are pretty but i also don't like that i can't click an arrow to get to the next chapter.

Love the concept. However having a button to pull down old and new testament, which should brings up the different books then the chapters would be great. For those of us that use the bible a lot, for church, in teaching, & in cricess. Don't have time . We need that info now. I will be uninstalling this app.

I like the many related Greek words given when searching an English word, such as wickedness. However, some English words are not available, such as immoral. The quick hyperlink to the Bible verses given as examples is nice too, and super easy to get back to the dictonary. The application is easy to use. Its a very nice application. It should specify which translation is being used.
