Four, side by side.
KJV, ESV, NIV, and NRSVue — long-press any verse to compare them without ever leaving the page.
Coming soon · iOS first
One verse at a time, on warm paper, in your pocket. Red letters. Handwritten notes. A path that remembers where you were, so you never have to ask “where was I?” again.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
The idea
No chapter dump. No navigation bar with twelve tabs. Open the app and a single verse is waiting — set in a serif that honors it, on warm paper, with room to breathe. Swipe to the next one when you’re ready.
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.
The way, in three steps
Each morning, one verse appears. Big serif on warm paper. Read it like it was written for you.
Tape it. Underline it. Scribble a note in your own hand. The page remembers what you did.
When you’re ready, swipe forward. The next verse. Tomorrow, the one after.
Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Kept honest
When Jesus speaks, the words are red. The way they appeared in your grandmother’s Bible, in the first red-letter edition from Illinois, 1899. Because he said it — not because the app wants to draw your eye.
the whole gospel
in a single sentence.
Also inside
KJV, ESV, NIV, and NRSVue — long-press any verse to compare them without ever leaving the page.
If you miss a day, the next day is still Tuesday. The streak picks up where you left it. No red exclamation marks.
Every verse of every translation is on your phone. Flight mode, basement, mountain, whatever — the Word is there.
A promise
Word and Way is funded by a one-time, honest price. We do not run ads inside Scripture. We do not sell your reading habits. We do not send push notifications to re-engage you. If you miss a day, that’s between you and the Book.
Analytics are anonymous and aggregated. Your notes stay on your device.
Short, honest, and designed to be finished. Pick one when the app opens, or let it suggest the next.
John, start to finish. One scene a day. The gospel, in the words it was first written in.
The 150 psalms, read as prayers rather than poems. Thirty weeks, five days a week.
Genesis to Revelation, verse by verse, three years. The longest way, and the one most worth taking.
From Isaiah's foretelling to the manger at Bethlehem. One verse, each night, through December.
