Translations

From one translation chosen with enough context, through switching in place and verse-by-verse comparison, to parallel panes and the Greek or Hebrew under every word: decide how much of translation’s variety a reader sees, and keep them on the same verse while they look.

Highlights and notes

From a bookmark that only says “return here”, through highlights and labelled marks, to private notes and notes shared with a group or the public: decide how much a mark says, who can see it, and what happens to it in another translation.

Study helps

From a preview card under the verse, through a sheet and a study panel, to a page of its own or help only on request: decide where commentary, cross-references and sermon clips open, how readers find them, and how they get back to the verse.
