VerseWise Bible KJV7.0.6 - App Store

VerseWise Bible(R) (King James Version) is the Bible (with optional deuterocanon) at your fingertips. It is optimized for easy, convenient reading.

This release includes the option of having the deuterocanon (also known as the apocrypha) off or on. When off, one sees the Protestant canon of 66 books. When on, one also sees additional books and text from the Septuagint, the Greek Bible most commonly used during the time of Christ and Apostles. This text, which was included in most KJV publications until the 19th century, should be of interest to all Christians, but especially Eastern Orthodox readers who regard the Septuagint as the biblical canon.
