Description
Vine Expository Dictionary with KJV Bible verses.
It is a cross-reference from key English words in the Authorized King James Bible Version to the original words in the Greek texts of the New Testament. In his preface to the book, Vine wrote,
- "The present volumes are produced especially for the help of those who do not study Greek, though it is hoped that those who are familiar with the original will find them useful."
Vine did not write an equivalent work for Old Testament Hebrew words; however, Vine's work is sometimes combined with another author's Hebrew dictionary and marketed under Vine's name as a "complete" expository dictionary.
It provides a concise meaning of the original Greek word, often providing Bible verse references as examples. If there are several Greek words that may translate to the same English word, Vine's distinguishes the shadings of meaning and connotation that may be lost in the English translation. For example, there are a number of Greek words that may be translated by the English word love.
Vine's also provides the definition of a word (as used in the King James Version) more accurately than an English dictionary, because it expands the Greek use of the word. For example, the word, "godliness" in 1 Tim. 2:2 is defined in the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary as "1: Divine 2: pious, devout -", but in Vines, it is defined as " 'to be devout,' denotes that piety which is characterized by a Godward attitude, does that which is well-pleasing to Him." So we have a fuller meaning of the word by seeing how the word is used in the NT.
Dear users - I made this dictionary with KJV Bible verses (because it's more popular), but if you want use it with ASV version please let me know.
Also I would like to make clickable Strong Numbers (like Bible verses) - when clicked would open the description and other information about the Strong Number. But I do not know how much you need it. I would be happy to improve this app together!

Great tool!
One thing that you may come to learn in your studies is that there will come a point when you need to know what the original Greek or Hebrew words meant. This will cast new light and understanding on scriptures that my seem hard to really understand or are often time misunderstood. Example 1Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is the root of all evil:…” So one of my students said according to this money is the the root of all “evil”. So then if I commit fornication it’s not evil, or if I murder someone it’s not evil. Well his logic is based on scripture, however is it really? The original language word “kakos” means what is useless, incapable, bad, destructive, injurious.
So we now understand that it’s broader meaning. But when you look up “root” for this verse you now understand it means “all kinds of evil”.
And of course, having a word for word interlinear will help clarify that it is “a” root of all kinds of evil. Not “the root of all evil”.
Vine’s excellent App
Every Bible student should own Vine’s dictionary and this app is great because first of all, it’s free, and secondly, it allows Vine to be easily accessed.
All that is needed is to look up any word alphabetically and Vine’s does the rest: giving definitions and Scripture references so you gain more insight to the meaning of the Greek words.
It is based on the KJV Bible so keep that in mind if you are using another version. I have depended on Vine’s hardback book for years and am glad to have his sound teaching in App form.
Invaluable Bible Study Tool
Vines Expository Dictionary is an incredible resource for understanding scriptural terms in their various contexts. This app is easy to navigate and I love the ability to quickly share whole definitions. Would be glad to pay to keep it around in the App Store!
