GreekToMeLite
Life isn't about Greek. It's about knowing God's will for your life and walking in it. You don't need to know any ancient Greek, but Greek happens to be the language God chose to record His (new) covenant with mankind. Someday you may want to access the underlying Greek text used by modern Bible translations. GreekToMeLite allows you to do that! For those who once took a Greek class, GreekToMeLite puts what you memorized for the exam at your fingertips!
The following Bible translations are included:
BBE
- Bible in Basic EnglishKJV
- King James VersionLBLA
- La Biblia de las Américas, 1997 (Spanish)LEB
- Lexham English BibleLSG
- Louis Segond, 1910 (French)NASB
- New American Standard Bible, 1995NBLH
- Nueva Biblia Latinoamericana de Hoy, 2005 (Spanish)YLT
- Young's Literal Translation~biblos
- Hyperlinks to resources at biblos.com
Each Greek word is grouped under a Greek lexical word. (Think of it like the words 'sing', 'singing', 'sang', 'sung' all being grouped under 'sing'.) Scholars have assigned a number to each lexical word to make it easier to look up in a Greek dictionary. There are options to display the lexical word and Strong's Reference Number (SRN) or Goodrich/Kohlenberger (G/K) number in the Report Area. The following (English) dictionaries are included:
Built-In
- concise general meaning of each lexical wordStrongs
- James Strong's Bible dictionaryconcordances.org
- Hyperlinks to resources at concordances.orgteknia.com
- Hyperlinks to Greek dictionary at teknia.com
The app's menus, dialogs, and help have been translated for French and Spanish.
Although it may be used as a springboard to access information on other web sites, once installed, GreekToMeLite does not require an Internet connection. A "Reader's Greek" mode is provided for those who can read some Greek. The Greek text is UBS4. (The KJV and YLT are not based on the UBS4 text but are included for historical reasons. The BBE is included for ESL readers. The LSG was an available French translation.)
Advanced users can add their own Bible translation files and Greek dictionary files that have been formatted for GreekToMe/GreekToMeLite. Those interested should become familiar with the full-fledged GreekToMe program for Mac OS X, Ubuntu (Linux), and Windows found at http://www.angelfire.com/jazz/greektome/GreekToMe.html. There you will find GreekToMe.pdf (English only) that describes every feature of GreekToMe, which is the basis for GreekToMeLite.
The author has endeavored to produce this software without theological bias.

They have removed the italics from the embedded KJV version, so now we don't know what words were missed out in the original greek. Other than this it is a good app.
Excellent. The best.highly recommend. I'm a textus receptor fanboy. Stephanus 1550 is about the only manuscripts our tolerate. So the UBS with kjv stumped me a little. Still one of the best apps i have used. Thank you.
UPDATE: I have changed my rating to a full 5 stars - and would give it more if possible. The new version (3.0.3) fixed the one problem I was having and GreekToMeLite now works perfectly on my Samsung phone. Not only was it encouraging to get an updated version that fixed the problem, it was heartening to have the developer respond so quickly to my earlier posting. Many thanks to Chuck King for his excellent app! ----- original review: ----- I very much like this app - on my Kindle tablet. But on my Samsung S7 phone it is difficult to use because (as another reviewer noted) it is impossible to select a verse. You can move through the New Testament one verse at a time (VERY time consuming!!) or it looks like you can return 5 places that have been saved in memory. (On my Kindle you can very easily pick Book/Chapter/Verse to go to at any time.) So, I would rate this "5 stars" on the Kindle, but only "3 stars" on my Samsung ...
It is a good app. But I would appreciate the ability to search for an individual verse as well.
I am really satisfied. Thank You a lot for Your work.
Its simple and very useful
Read your Bible clearly and simple to use
Wonderful, Very interesting App.
Amazing Greek word study tool, you want this if you truly want to get meat from the word....it's exiting to me! Thank you so much for the incredible effort into this! GOD bless you!
Awesome but could there be old testament too
This app does really well at assisting translation and prevents so much searching through a lexicon
Amazing app! Thanks to you developer of this amizing Bible app etc.. I wish to you to develop an amazing app Hebrew and Greek lexical (like Septuagint) "with transliteration" to read and easily understand the original meaning of what is in the original lexical. And of course, optional..so that easily to share others any topic what we will to share! Pls. Make Hebreo and Greek lexical with transliteration! Thanks. To God be the glory!!!
