Reading Scripture

The Reader is where you read a passage and everything you need sits beside it rather than on top of it.

Choosing a passage

Type a reference (Romans 8, Rom 8:28, John 3) or use search. Chapter arrows move you through a book.

Translations

Selah reads in several translations. Switching translation keeps your place and your highlights — a highlight is anchored to the words, not to a page.

Highlights

Select any phrase and highlight it. Highlights are yours, they persist across translations, and they show up later when you're writing about that passage.

Word study

Tap a word to see its original-language entry: the Greek or Hebrew behind it, what it means, and where else it appears. Available for the translations that carry word-level tagging.
