Read the Bible Online

Support the project

My name is Leonid, and I have been building this site on my own since 2003: the texts and editions, the reading tools, the servers, the readers’ letters. There is no advertising here and there never will be; no paid sections and no subscriptions that unlock the text either: the Bible must be open to everyone. Who I am and how the site came about is on the About page.

All these years the project has lived on our family’s own money. Your support goes to the service itself — servers, domains, tools — and to the living of the developer and his family.

Any amount helps, and a small regular contribution helps most of all: it makes it possible to plan more than a month ahead.

The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.11.25 liberal…: Heb. soul of blessing

Proverbs 11:25 · KJV (66 books)King James (without Apocrypha)

Ways to support

  • Patreon

    Monthly

    $2 $10 $20 $50 $100

    US dollars, charged monthly. Pick a tier on Patreon; a subscription unlocks nothing — the site is free anyway.

  • Ko-fi

    A one-off card payment on the project's Ko-fi page.

  • PayPal

    A one-off payment by card or from a PayPal balance.

  • Cryptocurrency

    • Straight to the project's wallet, without an intermediary.

      Send only in the network named here: a transfer in another network loses the money for good.

Questions and answers

Yes. We see only what you yourself told the platform you pay through, and no donor’s name appears on the site without their consent.

A subscription lives on the platform where you set it up and is cancelled in its settings; the period you have already paid for stays yours.

  • Patreon — follow its instructions.
  • Boosty — “My subscriptions”, the gear next to the project → “Cancel subscription”.
  • Ko-fi — “Account & Billing” → “Subscriptions” → “Don’t Renew” (its instructions).

One-off payments — PayPal, a bank transfer, cryptocurrency — renew nothing: there is nothing to cancel.

No. There is no foundation or organisation behind the project: you support the author directly, as a private person, and such a payment cannot be deducted.

To support@only.bible. Tell us the platform, the date and the amount, and we will sort it out.

On the service itself — servers, domains, tools — and on the living of the developer and his family.

Yes, and here is how:

  • tell people who would find the site useful about it;
  • report a mistake in the text or on the site to support@only.bible;
  • if you know the language and spot a mistake in the translation of the interface or the pages, write to us: the translation was done by AI, and a real reader notices what it cannot;
  • if you would like to see a particular Bible translation on the site, write to us: if we can add it, we will; if not, we will suggest writing to the Bible society that holds the rights;
  • pray for us.

    Words of Christ: For God so loved the world

    Your translations are the set of the last comparison you opened with “Compare” or remembered; until there is one, the first comparison opened directly — from a bookmark or a link from outside the site — becomes it. When the set has at least two translations and all of them have the passage, the comparison opens without the choice form.

    Star the translations you want to keep in your favourites.

    Players appear without a click and do not start on their own; a page with a video contacts youtube.com right away. While this is on, videos load from YouTube.

    If YouTube does not respond, the video loads from the site server when a copy is there.

    We will reset all settings to their defaults. Are you sure?
