The app utilizes the Schlachter 2000 translation of the Bible, with the New Testament first published in 1999 and the Old Testament completed in 2002. This revision aims to faithfully convey God's word while ensuring clarity for readers. The translation is based on the Masoretic Text for the Old Testament and on the textual tradition of the Greek Reformation for the New Testament, underlying translations such as the Zürcher Bibel, Luther's Bible, and the King James Version. Footnotes frequently provide literal translations where the biblical text has been paraphrased for clarity and understanding. When applicable, explanatory notes are included for literal renderings. Additional translation options are sometimes offered to deepen understanding.

Many footnotes also include historical insights and references to other scriptures that shed light on the meaning of particular passages. To facilitate biblical study further, the app features "parallel passages"—related verses that help foster a deeper appreciation of biblical themes. These comparisons aim to inspire a love of reading and promote engagement with the Scriptures by revealing how different parts of the Bible illuminate each other and convey divine truth.
