## Description

The Study Bible brings Grace to You's resources to your browser, helping you understand and apply God's Word. It includes Scripture in ESV, NAS, and KJV, plus Grace to You's sermon archive (more than 45 years and over 3,000 full-length messages) covering the New Testament and portions of the Old. Read or listen to Scripture, show or hide verse numbers for a great reading experience, highlight passages, add your own study notes, and bookmark verses. You can sync your notes and progress across devices, read study guides and articles, and access three of John's daily devotionals. Follow the MacArthur Daily Bible plan to read the Bible in a year with notes.

With the in-app purchase of notes from The MacArthur Study Bible, you’ll gain access to nearly 25,000 detailed comments by John MacArthur that explain virtually every passage. Along with the notes are dozens of articles, charts, maps, introductions to each book of the Bible, and more.
