Bible Search - Swiss Army Concordance

How to Search the Bible

1. In the search Bible textbox, type any of the following:
   • a phrase from the verse (e.g., "God is love")
   • any word(s) that are or might be in the verse (e.g., "repentance salvation")
   • a word segment from the verse (e.g., "baptis")
2. Choose a Range from the drop-down box that probably currently says "Entire Bible"
   • Entire Bible searches the entire Bible (i.e., Genesis through Revelation)
   • Old Testament searches the entire Old Testament (i.e., Genesis through Malachi)
   • New Testament searches the entire New Testament (i.e., Matthew through Revelation)
   • All other options search those specific books of the Bible
   NOTE: The larger the range, the longer it will take to search it, so choosing a smaller range is desired when applicable (e.g., if you know it's in the New Testament, then choose "New Testament" for the range
3. Using the remaining drop-down boxes, choose up to seven (7) translations
   NOTE: The first translation is used for weighting the relevance, all subsidiary translations are for parallel comparison
4. Click on the Search Bible button

Example searches

• "love your neighbor" (Entire Bible)
• "the word of God doesn't return void" (Old Testament only)
• "love" (Gospel of John only)

How It Works

Over 15 different translations were converted into keywords

1. American Standard Version (ASV)
2. Amplified Bible (AB)
3. Good News Bible (GNB)
4. Greek Bible (Septuagint and Greek New Testament)
5. Greek New Testament with Strong's Numbers
6. King James Version (KJV)
7. King James Version with Strong's Numbers
8. Latin Vulgate (VUL)
9. NET Bible®
10. New American Standard Bible (NASB)
11. New Century Version (NCV)
12. New International Version (NIV)
13. New King James Version (NKJV)
14. New Living Translation
15. Transliterated Unaccented (TUA)
16. Young's Literal Translation

It then searches your primary translation and these keywords, combining the results, ordering by relevance, displaying the entire verse (as opposed to a couple surrounding words, like most other concordances).

Then it pulls up the resultant verses in each of the subsidiary versions for instant parallel comparison.

Also, all the verses are linked to the Bible Viewer section, so that you can click the verse and see it with the context of its entire chapter in a separate window!
