Bible translations

Bible Assist shows several translations side by side so readers can compare:

Public-domain translations: Berean Standard Bible (BSB), King James Version (KJV) and American Standard Version (ASV).
Licensed translations through API.Bible, including the New International Version (NIV) and New Living Translation (NLT).
The English Standard Version (ESV), through the official Crossway ESV API, once approved. ESV passages are fetched as people read, displayed with Crossway's required copyright notice, and stored only within the ESV API's limits.

Each translation is shown with its publisher's copyright notice. Bible Assist does not charge for any part of the app or for access to Scripture text.
