Terms of use

Scribe Study Bible · effective November 2, 2026

The app

Scribe Study Bible ("the app") at scribestudybible.com is provided free of charge by ReturningKing.com ("we"). By using the app you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

Using the app

• You may use the app for personal reading and study, and for teaching, preaching and church or group ministry.
• Please do not misuse it: do not try to disrupt the site, overload it with automated requests, or use it to break the law.
• Features may change, be added or be removed as the app develops.

Your notes and highlights

What you write in the app belongs to you. It is kept on your device and, if you turn on sync, in your own cloud storage. We do not receive it. You are responsible for keeping your own backups (Settings → Download backup). See the privacy policy for details.

Scripture and study materials

Alongside its own software, the app brings together these freely licensed works, each under its own terms:

• Scripture: the Berean Standard Bible, dedicated to the public domain. Interlinear data from the Berean Bible tables.
• Lexicon: STEP Bible (STEPBible.org), Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. Strong's pronunciations are public domain.
• Cross-references: OpenBible.info, Creative Commons Attribution.
• Reading plans: made for this app and released CC0 (free for any use).

Lexicon definitions and other study aids are reference tools written by others. They are offered to help study and do not necessarily represent our own views. Scripture is the final authority.

The app's code, design and name

Scribe Study Bible's software, design, layout, book notes and other original content are © 2026 ReturningKing.com. All rights reserved. The app is free for you to use as described above, but you may not copy, modify, republish, resell or build another app or website from its code, design or original content without our written permission. If you'd like to use it in your own ministry or project, please contact us through ReturningKing.com; we're glad to talk.

Website owners are welcome to add our Scripture reference script to their own sites, free, using the one line of code on our Scripture on your website page, loaded from scribestudybible.com as published. Please don't copy, alter or host the script yourself.

The Scripture text and the other works listed above are not ours to restrict and remain free under their own terms.

The name "Scribe Study Bible," its logo and the ReturningKing.com name belong to us and may not be used in a way that suggests another product is ours or is endorsed by us.

Links and book notes

The app links to other websites, including lexicon sites and book listings. We are not responsible for their content or practices. Book notes at the end of chapters describe related books, usually ReturningKing.com's own.

No warranty

The app is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We work to keep the text and data accurate, but cannot promise the app will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that data stored on your device or in your cloud storage will never be lost.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for any loss of data, arising from your use of the app. Because the app is free, our total liability for any claim is limited to zero dollars.

Changes

We may update these terms. The current version will always be on this page with its effective date. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated terms.
