World English Bible

The World English Bible (WEB) is a modern English translation of the Bible that offers an accessible and contemporary rendition of the sacred texts. It was initiated in the late 1990s as a project aimed at providing a public domain version of the Bible, making the scriptures available to everyone without any restrictions. The translation is based primarily on the American Standard Version (ASV) of 1901, but it incorporates updates to language and style to resonate with today's readers while maintaining fidelity to the original meanings and intentions of the texts.

This initiative has been embraced by many for its clarity and straightforward approach, providing an excellent resource for both study and personal reflection. As you explore the World English Bible in this app, you’ll find a treasure trove of wisdom and inspiration that spans centuries of faith and tradition. Dive into the works and discover the profound messages that continue to touch hearts and minds across the globe.
