About
Scripture, with its
context attached.
1Bible is a free Bible study library: the full text in several translations, book introductions, topical studies, devotionals, and a place to ask the questions you would rather not ask out loud.
What we hold to
The text comes first
Every feature here points back to the passage. Commentary, context and answers are scaffolding — scripture is the building.
Context is not optional
A verse pulled out of its book, audience and moment can be made to say almost anything. We attach the background so you read it as it was written.
No account, no paywall
Search, study, and ask without signing up. Nothing here is gated, and reading is not a funnel to something else.
Honest about the machine
The Ask feature is AI-assisted and we say so on the page. It can be wrong. It points you to passages so you can check it yourself.
What’s in the library
Start anywhere
Look up a verse you half-remember, or read a book introduction before you begin it.
