“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.” — 2 Timothy 2:15
Tools that honor the text
Easy enough for a first read. Deep enough for a scholar. Every feature below is live — switch the theme in the top bar and watch them follow.
Highlighting
Highlight the word, not just the verse
Most apps stop at coloring whole verses. Gospel Grasp highlights single words, nests overlapping highlights, and keeps ten purposeful categories — God, Promises, Commands, Warnings, and more — consistent across every theme.
- Word-level precision with drag selection
- Nested highlights — word colors over verse colors
- 10 default categories + unlimited custom colors
- Per-theme palettes with contrast checking
16For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Tap a category — highlights apply to single words, not just whole verses.
