About Scripture Leaf

A Bible reader built around reading.

Scripture Leaf is a quiet, public-domain reader for the Berean Standard Bible. Its reading ethos follows the Berean pattern of Acts 17:11: receive the word eagerly and examine the Scriptures daily.

Why this reader is different

It keeps reference tools close when you need them and gets them out of the way when you do not. Verse numbers, translator-supplied words, notes, themes and Quiet mode are all local preferences on your device.

The text

The Berean Standard Bible is a modern English translation designed for reading, study, memorisation and public use. Its translation project presents four related tiers, moving from the Greek and Hebrew source and interlinear material through literal and standard reading forms. The underlying interlinear study material is published by Bible Hub and BSB Publishing.

Text: the Berean Standard Bible, dedicated to the public domain by Bible Hub and BSB Publishing. Free to use, quote and share without permission.
