About Sacred Scriptorium

Every day, Sacred Scriptorium sets a small portion of Scripture on your desk — the next few untranslated verses of the book you've chosen, in the original Greek or Hebrew. You render them in your own words. That's the whole practice: ten minutes, most days, and verse by verse the Scriptures become your own translation. MADE FOR REAL PROGRESS • Today's portion picks up exactly where you left off — no syllabus, no falling behind • Tap any word for its dictionary form, meaning, and full parsing; help when you want it, silence when you don't • Optional transliteration under the Greek while your alphabet confidence grows • A daily streak, and Stats that show how much of the New Testament is in your own words • Peek at the Berean Standard Bible on demand — hidden by default, so the rendering stays yours THE COMPLETE GREEK NEW TESTAMENT All 27 books of the SBL Greek New Testament ship in the app, with word-by-word morphology and the SBLGNT's own critical apparatus for readers who want to see the textual variants. THE HEBREW BIBLE, BOOK BY BOOK A growing set of Hebrew Bible books (Westminster Leningrad Codex) with morpheme-level analysis — prefixes, suffixes, and stems each explained, with qere/ketiv notes. YOUR TRANSLATION, ACCUMULATING • The My Translation shelf fills in verse by verse, book by book • Revise any verse; keep parallel translation sets (a literal pass, a colloquial one) • Write chapter notes right from the translation desk • Study any chapter in side-by-side panes: original, your translation(s), the Berean Standard Bible, and your notes — two panes on iPhone, up to four on iPad and Mac • Compose and share any span of verses as clean prose, with your own paragraphing VOCABULARY THAT STICKS A spaced-repetition trainer built from New Testament frequency tiers quietly grows what you can read unaided — and everything you translate feeds what the app knows you know. FREE TO START, ONE PURCHASE FOR EVERYTHING John, Philippians, and 1 John in Greek, and Jonah and Ruth in Hebrew, are free forever — months of daily practice. A single small one-time purchase unlocks every other book of the Greek New Testament and the Hebrew Bible as it grows. No subscription, ever. QUIET BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your translations sync privately through your own iCloud, visible to no one but you. Works fully offline. For pastors keeping a promise to their Greek, students who want daily contact with the text, and curious readers ready to meet the Scriptures in their original languages.
