Words of Christ

Show Jesus’ words in red

Colours the Lord’s spoken words through the Gospels (and his words in Acts, the Epistles and Revelation) in red, the old “red‑letter” style.

Words of God

Show God’s words in purple

Colours the direct speech of God — the LORD’s own words through the Old Testament, and the Father’s voice in the Gospels — in deep purple. Marked to our best account; see the note on the About page.

Coloured words

Bold the coloured words

Sets the red and purple words in bold as well as colour, for a stronger emphasis. Applies to whichever of the two are switched on.

Fulfilled prophecies

Highlight Messianic prophecies

Gently highlights the Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah in gold, and their fulfilment in Christ in blue — 332 in all. Tap any highlighted verse to see the prophecy and its match.

Cross-references

Show cross-references on tap

Marks every verse that has cross-references with a light dashed underline; tap one to see the related passages — grouped under the words they hang on — and jump straight to them. Drawn from the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge.

Books

Include the Apocrypha

15 deuterocanonical books, shown as their own section in the Contents.

Saints

Show saint prayers

A short prayer of thanks at the foot of each saint’s page. Turn it off to show only the life.

The Hours

Show the Hours on the home page

Shows the daily-prayer panel at the top of the home page, opening to the office of the present hour. Turn it off to keep the home page plain — the Hours stay available under Reading & Helps.
