Online Bibles Have Tons of Tools and Gadgets....

I enjoy digging into Online Bible Resources like BlueLetterBible.org and BibleGateway.com

Some things I like:

• Multiple Versions are easy to access
• Keyword Search
• Verse Search
• Digging into the Greek & Hebrew with study aids
• Instant access to commentaries and related resources
• FREE!

Check em out. Great tools for those of us who are looking at a Computer screen a lot.

How do I find it in the Bible?

The Table of Contents is the best place to start when you're looking for something in the Bible. It lists the 'books' (the Bible is divided into 66 'books' that were written by dozens of authors over thousands of years). Once you locate the page number the book starts on you can then navigate by chapter number and verse number to locate a specific reference.

For example consider this scripture reference:

John 3:16

John is the 'Book' name
3 is the chapter number
16 is the verse number
the ':' symbol means that we're shifting from the chapter number to a verse within that chapter.

Hope this is helpful as you get started.
