Understanding Expansions
Each time that you expand a word
search, similar words are added to
your search.
The first time that you press
MORE
, inflections are added (e.g.,
believe
and
believed
to
belief
).
The second time that you press
MORE
, compound and related
words are added (e.g.,
believer
and
unbelief
to
belief
).
The third time that you press
MORE
, synonyms are added (e.g.,
understand
and
surely
to
belief
).
When you expand a multiple-word
search, words similar to any or all
your search words are added.
Note: Sometimes pressing
MORE
only once does not expand a
search because your search
word(s) have no inflections in this
Bible. In that case, press
MORE
a
second and a third time to expand
your search.

after a word,
that word has a footnote. These foot-
notes provide alternative translations,
describe textual variants, and define
obscure words. Try this example.

Notice the footnote marker.
2. Press
NOTE
(the yellow key).
3. If needed, press
to read
the footnote.
4. Press
BACK
to go back to the
verse.
