Detailed Comparison
The American Bible Society appears to use the same source as YouVersion and eBible.org; YouVersion also contains the erroneous letter "p" at the end of Nehemia 3:14, not found in eBible.org
Blueletter
- Proverbs 19:18; a is missing from and; Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; nd set not thy heart on his destruction.
- Galatians 3:15;
- Revelations 22:14; my instead of may; and my enter in by the gates into the city.
The eBible.org website contains many different file formats. This comparison includes the .TXT and .XML VPL (Verse-Per-Line) copies. These files are identical.
Study Bible does not include apostrophes as in wife's, and brother's. Wifes and brothers does simply not have the same meaning. Psalms show the complete introduction of the next Psalm at the end of the previous Psalm. It is disappointing that what looks like a quality website allows poor content on it.
StudyLight is virtually identical to BlueLetter, except for the following typos:
- Genesis 27:28; five instead of give; And God five thee of the dew of heaven,
- Exodus 17:2; stove instead of strove; Wherefore the people stove with Moses,
- Joshua 5:3; lint instead of flint; And Joshua made him knives of lint,
- 1 Samuel 4:18; feel instead of fell; that Eli feel from off his seat backward
- Proverbs 7:5; the is missing the t; From he foreigner that flattereth with her words
- Proverbs 20:13; let instead of lest; Love not sleep, let thou come to poverty
- Isaiah 6:10; sea instead of see; lest they sea with their eyes
- Isaiah 27:8; content instead of contend; thou dost content with them
- Mark 6:8; now instead of no; no wallet, now money in their purse
- John 4:10; contains unto twice; Jesus answered and said unto unto her
- John 11:28; her instead of here; The Teacher is her, and calleth thee.
- John 6:60; the instead of they; when the heard this, said
- John 21:17; section Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, missing;
- Romans 3:21; contains being witnessed by the law and the prophets twice
- Galatians 5:4; missing who; ye who would be justified by the law;
- 1 Timothy 5:16; mat instead of may; that it mat relieve them that are widows indeed.
- Hebrews 12:17; is instead of it; though he sought is diligently with tears.
- 1 Peter 3:1; won instead of own; In like manner, ye wives, be in subjection to your won husbands;
- Revelations 6:5; first instead of third; And when he opened the first seal
- Revelations 11:15; out instead of our; The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of out Lord
YouVersion (or bible.com) had some major outages in past, but these have been corrected. YouVersion content is now identical to the eBible content, except for:
- Nehemia 3:14, YouVersion includes the letter "p" at the end of the verse. It doesn't belong there.
- Revelation 19:16, eBible reads: "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS", YouVersion reads: "KING OF KINGS, AND Lord OF LORDS", and uses styling to turn "Lord" in small caps, resulting in: "KING OF KINGS, AND Lord OF LORDS"; which is just silly. eBible is correct; the original print uses all full capitals. This is an improvement though over what this verse used to read: "KINGS OF KINGS, AND Lord OF LORDS".
- HTML coding of Psalm 119 attaches the wrong header to the wrong verse.
Example: <span class="verse v8" data-usfm="PSA.119.8"><span class="content">BETH.</span></span>
Class should have been identified as verse 9, and not as content. This is sloppy website programming.
