Romans 8BSB

28And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

Verb, present active indicative, 3rd person singular

Thayer’s

to work together, help in work, be a partner in labor: 1Co 16:16; 2Co 6:1…

Strong’s

to be a fellow-worker, i.e. co-operate

Romans 8:28 with the word sheet open on “works.”

Why “Rightly”

“Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.”

2 Timothy 2:15 BSB

The King James has “rightly dividing the word of truth.” Behind both is ὀρθοτομέω (G3718) — in Thayer’s, first of all, “to cut straight.” It is the straight line through the open book in our mark, and the reason for our name.

In the first release

Everything you need at the verse you are on.

  1. The Berean Standard Bible

    A clear, modern translation set for long reading: one column, quiet typography, nothing competing with the text.

  2. Tap any word

    See the Greek or Hebrew word behind it, its dictionary form, a plain-English parsing, its Strong’s number, and the lexicon entries from BDB, Thayer’s and Strong’s — with a count of every occurrence.

  3. Commentaries beside the verse

    Matthew Henry, Jamieson-Fausset-Brown, Barnes’ Notes and Calvin, anchored to the verse you are reading rather than buried in another book.

  4. Notes and highlights

    Write a note on a verse or a passage, highlight as you read, and find both on your other devices.

  5. Fully offline

    Reading and word study live on your phone. No signal on the plane or in the back of the sanctuary? It all still works.

Principles

Trustworthy by construction.

  • It never makes up a parse or a source.

    Every word study comes from tagged Greek and Hebrew data and published lexicons. If the data does not say it, Rightly does not either.

  • Core reading and study are free, forever.

    The Bible, the original-language tools, the commentaries and your notes are not a trial.

  • No ads.

    Nothing is sold against your attention, and your study is not anyone’s product.
