About the text

The verse pages are the King James Version. That English text is the page title, the description, and the canonical URL. On every New Testament verse the Greek is printed under it, word by word.

King James Version

The King James Version (1769) is in the public domain in the United States. The file in this project was taken from the public-domain JSON collected by aruljohn, recorded in src/data/bible/NOTICE.txt.

Greek New Testament

The Greek words are the SBL Greek New Testament, edited by Michael W. Holmes, © 2010 Society of Biblical Literature and Logos Bible Software. The text is used under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0.

Parsing and lemmas come from MorphGNT: SBLGNT Edition, edited by James K. Tauber, version 6.12 (10.5281/zenodo.376200). The SBL text in that dataset stays under CC BY 4.0. The morphological parsing and lemmatization are CC BY-SA 3.0. The derived parsing on this site is shared under CC BY-SA 4.0.

Strong’s numbers, and the Textus Receptus words that the SBL text does not contain, come from the STEP Bible Translators’ Amalgamated Greek New Testament (Tyndale House, Cambridge), CC BY 4.0. The raw STEP file is not redistributed. This site keeps a compact derivation: SBL spellings from MorphGNT when the two line up, a plain-English reading of the parse codes, and a note wherever the Textus Receptus (Scrivener 1894, as STEP tags it) has words the SBL text lacks. Where a whole verse is missing from the critical text, the page says so and prints the Textus Receptus reading.

Lexicon

Definitions are the Dodson Greek Lexicon, released to the public domain by Jeffrey Dodson. The source file is the biblicalhumanities/Dodson-Greek-Lexicon table. Nothing in a definition was written for this site. If Dodson has no entry, the short gloss is the STEP gloss and the card says so.

King James glosses

The English word under a Greek word is a public-domain Strong’s alignment of the King James Version, read from https://bolls.life/get-chapter/KJV/. A phrase is kept only when it actually occurs in this site’s King James verse.

Other English translations

Verse pages can open a comparison of five public-domain translations, from eBible.org USFM: American Standard Version (1901), Young’s Literal Translation, World English Bible, Darby, and Douay-Rheims. They do not replace the King James text, and they do not have their own URLs. The English Standard Version, the New International Version, the New American Standard Bible, and the New World Translation are not hosted. A translation note may quote a single New World Translation verse, verbatim, from Watchtower Online Library, with the link beside it.

Word pages

Each Greek lemma has one page, for example θεός and προσκυνέω. Those pages are rendered by the Worker from one bundled index. They are not a file per word in the static build. The Old Testament in Hebrew, and the Septuagint, are a later phase. The same word tuple can hold them.
