How to use this page

• The first button on the bar picks the library section (Bible, White’s writings, SDA Commentary, index); then come the translation, book and chapter. At the end of every chapter there are “Previous chapter” / “Next chapter” buttons; you can also swipe left/right to turn chapters.
• The button with the current translation’s name opens the list of translations. Translations that don’t contain the current work are marked — the page won’t switch to them, so you never land in a different book.
• “Parallel” shows several translations side by side (on a phone, one above another): pick one or more in the list. The columns scroll together and your reading place is kept. To go back to a single translation, untick the others in the same list.
• “By verse” / “Flowing” (Bible): “By verse” starts every verse on a new line; “Flowing” shows the text in paragraphs with the translation’s section headings. The button shows the current mode; click it to switch.
• “History” lists the chapters you opened recently (up to 50, newest first, with date and time): click one to go back to it, “Clear history” empties the list. It is stored only in this browser.
• Text with a dotted underline is a link to the Bible or White’s writings: click it to see the text right here and open it in full if needed. A “(N years from Adam)” label after a verse or paragraph means that place is cited in the “Chronology” — click it to open that event there; dates with an era in the text (“457 B.C.”) also take you to their year.
• Clicking a verse number shows parallel passages of Scripture. Right-click the text for “Copy text” or “Add to my notes” with a short reference; Ctrl+C also adds the source to the copied text.
• Search (the panel on the left; on a phone, the “Search” button) looks through the current translation: all books, just the selected one, or chapter titles (“Topic search”). “A−”/“A+” change the font size. The page remembers where you stopped, and the browser’s Back button returns to the previous chapter, translation or place.
• “Listen” reads the chapter aloud and stops at its end; select some text first to hear just that (or right-click → “Read aloud from here” / “Read selection aloud”). References in parentheses, “[orig. N]”-style page marks and “from Adam” labels are skipped; a reference the sentence itself points to (“in (2 Chr.11:16-18) we read”) is read out in words. The bar at the bottom has pause, previous/next sentence, stop, and voice and speed. Ukrainian text is read by the “site voice” Tetiana, Russian text by a site voice of your choice (Tetiana, Mykyta, Irina, Denis, Dmitri). The site voice runs inside the browser itself — the same in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on computers and phones: about 50 MB is downloaded the first time (the player shows the percentage), after that it comes from the browser’s storage, even offline. English text is read by the browser’s “United Kingdom” voice.
