Principles

Only the text of Scripture

  1. Only the 66 books of the Bible. There are no other texts here.
  2. Only established translations. Public-domain texts, word for word: KJV, ASV, WEB, BSB, YLT, the Russian Synodal and the Ukrainian translation by Kulish, Puluj and Nechuy-Levytsky. Licensed translations only with a license.
  3. No interpretation. No explanations, sermons or advice.
  4. No traditions. No church calendars and no denominational positions.
  5. AI selects passages; every word you read comes from the translation. The model only picks references, and the code checks each one. The text on screen is never written by AI.
  6. No ads, no tracking. No account; your history stays on your device. We only count anonymous visits (country and section of the site), without cookies and without storing IP addresses.

One exception: the collapsed "Outside the Bible: historical note", written by an editor.

Support

Everything here is free. For everyone. Always.

No ads, no sign-up, nothing paid. Every part of LampWay is open to everyone, and it will stay that way.

Two goals of LampWay

  1. For those who have never opened the Bible. Ask a question in your own words: about fear, money, family, about what hurts. The answer comes in the words of Scripture. No sermons, no hard words, just the text that has given people hope for centuries.
  2. For those who have read it for years. All 66 books, several official translations side by side, one verse numbering, meaning-based search and a one-year reading plan. All in one place, free and without sign-up.

Was there a verse that changed everything?

If you ever found an answer in the pages of Scripture, to pain, to fear, to a question you could not face alone, please share it with us.

We create content for different people and in different languages. Your question, and the verse that answered it, may help someone find peace, wisdom and the strength to go on. The very verse that made you cry. It may help just one person. Or it may help thousands.

Just choose a topic and write the verse: the full text or simply the reference (book, chapter, verse). Our scripts will find it and check it against the text of the Bible.

By sending, you allow LampWay to use your topic, question and verse anonymously in project content. We don't know who you are.
