# Bible reader and study tools

The complete Papiamentu Bible reader uses only the supplied BEIBEL.doc text, with the same 98 documented chapter-reference corrections as the concordance. This update does not grant redistribution rights beyond the source text's existing permissions.

The source is primarily based on the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, with community votes. It contains 344,799 source rows. We re-indexed 344,794 rows to the supplied Papiamentu corpus and retained the complete target ranges and vote counts. Five rows refer to 3 John 1:15, which does not exist in this supplied corpus (3 John has 14 verses); these are excluded, without guessing a replacement. 29,363 source verses have mapped links. The default view shows positive-vote links; uncheck the filter to include every mapped row, including zero and negative votes. Links are directed, as supplied; no reverse links or inferred theological equivalences have been added. See Cross_Reference_Coverage.json for counts and source SHA-256.

Reference numbering follows the source's KJV conventions, matching the supplied corpus by chapter and verse. These are passage-level study suggestions, not verified word alignment or proof of any interpretation. The displayed Scripture text is Papiamentu from BEIBEL.doc, not a copy of the English Bible displayed by the source website.

## Strong's dictionary

Existing bundled Open Scriptures Strong dictionaries and STEPBible lexicons remain available from the reader and concordance. See ORIGINAL_SOURCES.md for editions, licences and limitations. The dictionaries retain English glosses and definitions.

The tool opens a search in the official EGW Writings library (https://egwwritings.org/) using the user's word, topic or reference, or opens its Scripture Index (https://m.egwwritings.org/advsearch?type=scripture). The English Bible book name is supplied for reference searches; users can edit the query and select another search language. Papiamentu topic words are not automatically translated. These are external research links, not imported commentary, an embedded full-text EGW corpus, or a verified mapping of EGW passages to Papiamentu words. No EGW commentary is generated or attributed without a source. Users may save source URLs, citations and personal notes in their study folders. The official service may change, require cookies or be unavailable.

## Personal studies

Folders, saved searches, notes and highlights are kept in localStorage for this browser and site origin. They do not sync to other devices or signed-in accounts. JSON export/import provides a backup and transfer option. Import adds folders without overwriting existing ones, validates verse IDs and restricts stored source URLs to HTTP/HTTPS. Clearing browser/site data removes local studies. No notes are sent to a server by these features.
