New Functionality Added to Our Tools Layout!
We are excited to share our recent improvement to the "Tools" button on our website with you all: the "Previous" and "Next" buttons. It may seem like a small addition, but we know that it is one that will significantly speed up your study. Originally, if you wanted to view the study tools available for a different verse than the one currently selected, you had to click that verse's unique "Tools" button. Now, we have added the ability to navigate between verses within the "Tools" window.
For example, if you are examining the original Greek of John 3:16 and want to move quickly to verse 17, you simply click or tap the "Next" button to shift to that verse's interlinear view. Likewise, if you wish to go back to verse 16, you can click or tap the "Previous" button. Below is a screenshot highlighting the new buttons in the "Tools" view:
This has been a long-requested addition to our tools by many of our users. Our desire is that it would create a smoother experience as you continue to dive deep into God's Word!

NKJV Available for Free Mobile App Download!
We are excited to announce that the New King James Version (NKJV), published by Thomas Nelson, is free for download on our mobile apps. The NKJV was previously only available via Internet connection. The NKJV has been on Blue Letter Bible for decades and has historically been one of our most popular Bible translations. We are grateful that, through the participation of our BLB donors, we can provide this translation for free download to our users on our iOS and Android apps.
To get your free download, open the Bible manager in your app and navigate to the NKJV. From there, simply tap the download button and it should be added as an offline Bible. If you would like to learn more about the history of the NKJV, you can visit the history page on Thomas Nelson's website.

All 5 Volumes of John Trapp's Commentary
We are excited to add the complete anthology of classical biblical commentator, John Trapp. His large five-volume commentary is still read today and known for being rich with biblical explanation and theological truths. His volumes are quoted frequently by other religious writers, including Charles Spurgeon and Ruth Bell Graham.
Our most widely read commentator, David Guzik, has benefited extensively from Trapp's work and has this to say: "John Trapp is a classic Puritan commentator with keen insight to the Bible, often presented with witty, catchy phrases that are especially memorable in their Elizabethan English."
You can start reading today by heading over to Trapp's author page. On the apps, you can simply tap a verse, select "Text Commentaries," and choose Trapp's commentary for that section of Scripture.
