About the World English Bible
The World English Bible is an English Bible translation whose text is in the public domain. This reader uses the pinned edition bundled by Scripture Deck, with its recorded source processing and numbering. It is one named edition, not a blended text. (World English Bible publisher)
Two more translations
The King James Version is the standardized 1769 text, in the public domain outside the United Kingdom. The Berean Standard Bible is a modern translation dedicated to the public domain. Each keeps its own verse numbering; open any chapter and choose a translation at the top of the page.
Study a passage in context
Read the whole chapter around a verse you are studying. Record the reference and edition beside quotations, keep observations separate from interpretations, and return to the passage when you check a source. Practical study guides provide complete examples, starting from John 3.
Edition, sources, and coverage
These pages cover the 66-book canon, 1,189 chapters. Five WEB markers contain notes rather than main text, and the source doxology remains at Romans 14:24–26. The study app also has the Catholic books, in the World English Bible (Catholic) and the Douay-Rheims. WEB edition and source notice.
