Not Just Words

It's so frustrating when you think you remember a verse, but you have one or two words which are not quite right, and so you just can't find it.

Perhaps you learned it in a different version. Perhaps you only vaguely remember it at all.

Either way, if you don't know the right words to look for then you won't be able to find the verse.

But Not Just Words is smarter than your average Bible Search app.

As well as being able to search for combinations of words it also automatically searches for other forms of your search words.

So when you search for "pray", it also looks for "prays", "praying", "prayer", "prayers", "prayed"...

And then it uses a thesaurus. So search for "speak" and it also find verses with "talk", "uttered", etc...

You can also search for references like "rom 1:4" or "Gen 1:1;Ex 12:1", or you can combine these with other searches to restrict them.

For example you can search for "pray in Romans" to find the references to prayer in the book of Romans. Or "forgive in NT" to find the new testament references to forgiveness. Or "law in psa119".

You can also search for phrases like "holy man". And those searches will also use the thesaurus for each word in the phrase to find "righteous man", etc.

And you can combine searches with "and", "or", "not" or "near".
