Public Domain base · edited by UndertextEnglish text — modern translations
the New International Version, the Amplified Bible, and the New American Standard Bible are read live from YouVersion, one verse at a time. they are copyrighted by their publishers (Biblica for the NIV; the Lockman Foundation for the Amplified and the NASB), so undertext never stores them on your device and never lets Grace quote them — they are shown to you as you read, and nothing more. the Berean Standard Bible is public-domain text that today also arrives through YouVersion.
Copyrighted (NIV, Amplified, NASB) · Public Domain (BSB) — via YouVersionthe hebrew, greek, aramaic, KJV, and sacred name edition are undertext's own data — served from undertext.org, never resold, never rebundled. the modern english translations are read live from YouVersion under their own licenses, one verse at a time, and never stored on your device.
undertext is a study prototype, built for stillness rather than scholarship-grade precision. treat glosses as a doorway, not a verdict.
