Verse of the day · 1 Thessalonians 5:2

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

You're well aware that God's day will arrive unexpectedly, like a thief in the night.

Artwork for 1 Thessalonians 5:2

The whole Bible, said twice

Every verse of the King James, and underneath it, the same verse in words people actually use.

Most Bible apps give you the text and leave you with it. This one was written out twice — 31,102 verses in the King James, and 31,102 again in plain language. Not a study guide bolted on the side. The reading itself.

King James

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

In plain language

God's love for the world was so immense, He gifted us His only Son. Anyone who trusts in Him will not face death, but enjoy a life that never ends.

Sixty-six books, sixty-six paintings

Every book of the Bible has its own illustration — Genesis to Revelation, including the ones nobody paints. They are how you navigate the app, and they are the reason it does not look like software.

What it does

Read

The King James, set to be read

All 31,102 verses, typeset at a size you choose, in a single column that stays out of the way. No pop-ups, no banners, no reading streak nagging you.

Understand

And a plain-language reading beneath every one

Not a summary and not a study note — the same verse said the way a person would say it today. Written for all 31,102 verses, not just the famous ones.

Return

A verse each morning, with its own artwork

One verse a day, paired with its own art. It takes a minute, which is the point — it is built to be finished, not scrolled.

Speak with someone from the Bible

Bring a question, and talk it through.

Six people from the Bible, each built as a character out of the text — what it shows them wanting, what it shows them afraid of, how they decided. Walk a journey and it ends in something written for you; or ask one question and keep the answer.

None of them claims to be the person, and each says so in its own words before a word is exchanged.

How it was made

Written out twice, and illustrated sixty-six times

The plain-language reading covers the whole Bible, not the quotable parts of it. All 31,102 verses have one — which is why it reads the same in Leviticus as it does in John, where most study aids quietly thin out.

The artwork runs book by book, one image each, no repeats — and none of it is locked, because none of the Bible is. Every chapter of all sixty-six books is free in both translations. The subscription is for Speak.

Questions

Which translation is it?

The King James Version, in full. The King James text is public domain. What a subscription pays for is this edition of it: all 31,102 verses paired with a plain-language reading, artwork for every book, and an app that works entirely offline.

What do I get without paying?

All of it. Every one of the 31,102 verses, in both the King James text and the plain-language reading, free forever — with the daily verse and the artwork. A subscription is for Speak, where you can talk with someone from the Bible past the one journey and 10 questions a month that everybody gets.

What does a subscription include?

Speak, without the free limits: journeys with any of them — 6 a month — and questions without the 10-a-month cap. The Bible is free either way and always will be, so a subscription buys nothing you can already read.

What happens if I cancel?

Nothing disappears mid-term — access runs to the end of the period you paid for. Manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings; we never see your payment details.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The whole Bible ships inside the app, so it reads on a plane, on the subway, and anywhere with no signal. Nothing streams. The web app can keep it on your device too — it is one tap in its settings.

Can I use it without an iPhone?

Yes. Everything is in the browser at app.worldbible.guide — the whole Bible, search, what you have kept, and Speak. It installs like an app if you want it to.

Does one subscription cover both?

Yes. It belongs to your account rather than to a device, so buying it on your phone opens Speak in the browser and the other way round. You are never charged twice — if you already subscribe, the other one tells you so instead of offering to sell it again.

Is Speak really them?

No, and the app says so before a word is exchanged. Each is an interpretation built from the text, and the statement saying so is shown beside every name.

What happens to what I write in Speak?

It is sent to be answered and kept so you can read it again. Walking a journey also builds a picture of you, which you can read and which is shown to nobody else; asking a question does not. The privacy policy has the whole of it.
