Search Method
|
|
Scripture: | Type your reference in the box and click the submit button. You may display multiple verses by typing
"John 3:16,John 5:24" (without quotes). For example, "John 3:16-19,John 5" would return
verses 16 through 19 of John chapter 3 and the entirety of chapter 5.
* Be sure to include the colon (:) between
chapters and verses.
* There is no space before or after the comma.
|
|
Keyword: | Type a keyword or phrase in the box and click the Submit button to display the results. The results
are not case sensitive. "Jesus Christ" (without quotes) will return all verses where this phrase appears (141 in the ASV).
However, if two (or more) keywords are separated by a plus ( i.e. Jesus+Christ ), the script will search each verse
for both words regardless of word order (237 in the ASV). The keyword search matches any part of a word. For example "baptism" will match baptism
and baptisms; 21 results. Following that, "bapti" returns 88 results including baptism, Baptist, baptize, baptized, etc.
You may also exclude words by using a "-" character. For example, "peter+said -john" (without quotes) will return all verses with Peter and said yet EXCLUDE those verses if the word John appears. You may exclude multiple
words by separating them with a comma (i.e. -exclude+these+words)

Options
|
|
English Font Size: | You may adjust the size of the English font by typing the desired value in the box or
by clicking the Up and Down arrows.
|
|
Greek Font Size: | You may adjust the size of the Greek font by typing the desired value in the box or
by clicking the Up and Down arrows. (We are currently using the Windows Symbol font mosts Greek texts. However, this means no accents. To view the accencted text, you will need to download the font. Go to the
main site and click the "Download the Greek Font" button. This text is completely parsed as well! Check
below for details.)
|
|
Paragraph View: | Each verse is displayed in a separate paragraph.
|
|
Parallel Frames: | This option splits the screen in half vertically. The main text is displayed on the left side of the
screen while the selected cross reference appears on the right.
|
|
Transliterate: | With this option on, Greek texts (expect the parsed text) will be transliterated to their English equivalents.
|
|
Hot Links: | This option makes every word in every verse a Keyword link. For example, if you see the word "faith" in a verse and would like to find out where else this word appears, all you have
to do is click on the word "faith."
|
|
Parse: | This option applies to the parsed GNT only. The Hot Links option for the GNT is ignored when parsing is on. Instead of each word being a searchable link, each word is keyed
to a separate database. By clicking the word, a another window will open and display the lexical form,
the inflected form, Stong's definition, and a tag explaining how the word is functioning in the sentence (i.e. N---NSF is a noun, nominative case, singular, feminine gender).
Click on the lexical form to perform a concordance search. |
