We live in a day of staggering privileges. There was a time when the only copy of the Scriptures would have been chained to the pulpit in the town’s church, and there are places where the rulers still ruthlessly hunt down copies of the Bible to be destroyed. But today in the English speaking world, we are infinitely privileged to have such free access to the word of God.

Beyond the accessibility of the Bible itself, we also have extraordinary access to powerful Bible study tools, many of which are available for free. Here are five of the best free Bible study tools online—or at least, five of my favorites that I personally use all the time.

Free Bible Study Tool #1: Blue Letter Bible

There are several powerful Bible software packages that you can spend hundreds or even thousands (!) of dollars to help you study the Bible in the original language, with helps to parse the verbs, see lexicon (dictionary) entries to define the words used, or to see cross references to other places where those words are used. With Blue Letter Bible, however, you get 90% of that functionality for free.

I use Blue Letter Bible all the time—every time I prepare to preach a sermon, write something where I need to do some closer exegetical analysis, or just where I’m curious about what’s happening “behind the scenes.” Here’s how I use Blue Letter Bible.

First, from the search bar at the top of the home page, select the Bible verse you want to study:

Then, hover your mouse over “Tools” beside the verse you are interested in, and then select “Interlinear”:

Clicking interlinear will pull up the original language of the verse (Greek or Hebrew), along with word-by-word comparisons from the original language to English. You might want to click “Parse” on the right side of the verb to get more information about the type of the verb you are dealing with, but most of the time, you’ll probably only need to click the Strong’s Concordance ID number:

This is the page that you are going to want to spend lots of time on. From Vine’s Expository Dictionary, you can get a short dictionary entry, and in the section marked Outline of Biblical Usage, you can see the various ways that the word in question is used in the Bible:

For a deeper definition, keep scrolling down to find the section marked “Thayer’s Lexicon” and get a very detailed definition of the word, including information about how the word was used in literature outside the Bible. But my favorite tool of all is the Concordance, where you can see all the places that the same word was used in other places in the Bible.

With the Concordance, it’s easier to see textual connections, where an author is deliberately referencing another passage, or where the same author develops a theme in another book of the Bible that he wrote.

Free Bible Study Tool #2: Bible Gateway

One of the best ways to zero in on the meaning of a particularly challenging verse is to look at how a variety of different Bible translations phrased it. So, consider the wide variety of translations for 1 John 3:19–21, which looks like this in the English Standard Version:

[19] By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him;

(1 John 3:19-21 ESV)

Planetbase crack. In Bible Gateway, you can quickly flip through over 50 different Bible translations to see (for example) how various scholars translated the word “reassure” in 1 John 3:19, or how a paraphrase version like The Living Bible or The Message gives the sense of the passage. It’s a very handy way to figure out what might be going on in the verse.

Free Bible Study Tool #3: Commentaries on CCEL

I am a huge fan of CCEL, the Christian Classics Ethereal Library. I have read deeply into the works of Augustine, Calvin, Spurgeon, and more through their ministry of preserving classic Christian works online. If you haven’t checked out their website, do so now.

My favorite tool on CCEL is the Search Scripture tool, which allows you to search through their vast library to find all the documents that contain references to a specific passage. So, here’s the results for everything on CCEL related to John 1:14.

The list includes giants of the Christian faith like Athanasius, Augustine, John Chrysostom, John Calvin, Charles Spurgeon, John Wesley, and more. You can do that for any passage of Scripture you like. These resources are gold in the heritage of the Christian tradition—the works that believers for hundreds and thousands of years have read, studied, and profited from as they studied the Scriptures. When we read the legacy that they have left in their writing, we stand on the shoulders of the giants of faith who have come before us.

Free Bible Study Tool #4: M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan Podcast (ESV)

If you are planning on subscribing to Free Daily Bible Study by podcast, you can also listen to each day’s reading on ESV by podcast too. ESV actually puts daily podcasts out for many of the various Bible reading plans available, but you can subscribe to the M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan on podcast through iTunes here.

Free Bible Study Tool #5: Free Audio Directories

While CCEL stores public domain treasures of Christian literature from the past, there are also a few sermon directories that I would point you toward where you can download sermons, lectures, and even full-blown seminary courses for free. Here are some of my favorites:

Seminary Courses

Christian Resources Online

• Covenant Theological Seminary: I listened to the entirety of the Ancient & Medieval Church History course and the Reformation & Modern Church History course while I was preparing for my ordination exams.
• Westminster Theological Seminary (iTunes link): I highly recommend the course on Medieval Church History by Carl Trueman.
• Reformed Theological Seminary: Includes wonderful core courses, as well as a few specialty courses.

Sermon Directories

• The Gospel Coalition: Organized by passage of Scripture, The Gospel Coalition features a huge variety of sermons from a very wide variety of speakers. This is a great place to find high quality sermons.
• Monergism: Monergism includes a huge diversity of resources on all kinds of topics, but here are links to their Old Testament sermons and their New Testament sermons.
• Sermon Audio: Tons of sermons from all kinds of pastors—some who are quite famous (I frequently listen to Joel Beeke sermons from here), and others who are absolutely obscure. Includes helpful tools to search for sermons by Bible passage.
• Desiring God: John Piper’s wealth of sermons through the years are thankfully preserved and distributed for free through the Desiring God website. This is a link to discover his sermons by Scripture passage.
• MLJ Trust: Martyn Lloyd-Jones was one of the greatest preachers who ever ministered in Great Britain, and the MLJ Trust made all of his sermons available for free on this website.

You can also find specific resources by book of the Bible on the Free Daily Bible Study Resources page.

Bonus Resource: Free Daily Bible Study

As a bonus, let me suggest that you subscribe right now to receive Free Daily Bible Study by email every day through the subscription form below. (Here are instructions on how to subscribe to the audio version: Free Daily Bible Study Podcast.) Every day (beginning January 1st, 2015), you will receive an email with a short meditation based on the day’s reading from the M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan. A lot of people want to read through the Bible, but it can be a challenging process if you are trying to do it alone.

I wrote Free Daily Bible Study to help people read the Scriptures and understand each passage in its context within the broader unfolding story of the Bible—and especially to help people to see how each passage anticipates or announces the Lord Jesus Christ.
