Chapter
Search
Find scripture, commentary, and original-language entries
Reference lookup
Exact references open first, including common abbreviations and verse ranges.
Text and commentary
Use plain words, quoted phrases, or a trailing asterisk for prefix searches.
Strong's and lemmas
Direct Strong's numbers and Greek or Hebrew lemma text search the imported STEPBible lexicons. Broad lexicon searches are capped with a narrowing prompt for static-page performance.
Study Tools
Designed for read-only Bible study
Tagged words
Linked KJV words and phrases open Strong's, original-language forms, transliteration, morphology, and source notes. Direct Strong's searches use the imported STEPBible brief lexicons.
Chapter paging
Move with visible buttons, keyboard arrows, desktop edge clicks, or mobile swipes while preserving normal text selection.
Static data path
The browser uses exported JSON generated from a recorded source. A matching SQLite seed is prepared for the PHP read-only hosting proof of concept.
Sources
Attribution and licensing
Open the dedicated attribution and source license page for the current build's imported resources, checksums, and unresolved data boundaries.
About
Project status and data boundaries
Read-only by design
BibleMeUp runs as a static reader in the browser. It does not require accounts, notes, highlights, or client-side database writes.
Data model
The public reader consumes exported JSON generated from recorded source files. The matching SQLite schema and core database remain outside the public web root for the planned PHP hosting proof of concept.
Study scope
All KJV chapters are readable and searchable. Matthew Henry Concise commentary is imported from a recorded public-domain source. Strong's lexicon lookup is imported from STEPBible brief lexicons; English word-study links are imported from the recorded CrossWire KJV OSIS source.
Privacy
No account-based tracking
This static build does not include account creation, form submission, analytics scripts, advertising pixels, or remote database writes. Recent passages are stored only in the browser's local storage so the reader can reopen the last viewed chapter on the same device.
Accessibility
Keyboard and mobile reading support
The reader includes skip navigation, semantic headings, labeled controls, visible focus states, keyboard chapter movement, tap targets sized for mobile, and reduced-motion handling. Text selection is preserved in the scripture area.
