small GATE narrow ROAD
Open the Bible

The Gospel will be Told, not Sold.

One of the key themes, visions and goals of this ministry is to seek repentance and enter the narrow gate, that only few find.

Open the BibleWhy a small gate?

What we do

  1. The whole Bible, free

    Every book, in every translation the app carries, on a phone or a computer. After one download it works without a connection, with no account and no ads.

  2. In the words it was written

    The Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek under every verse, word by word, each with its grammar and its entry in Brown-Driver-Briggs or Abbott-Smith.

  3. Free, all the way down

    Every text and lexicon beneath the app is freely licensed, checked to be, and credited to the people who made it.

  4. Teaching, in preparation

    Teaching in the ministry’s own words is being written. It will be marked as teaching, one step away from the reference material.

Translation

13Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Matthew 7:13–14BSB

13¶ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matthew 7:13–14KJV

13“Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it. 14How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.

Matthew 7:13–14WEB

The name and the logo come from one verse. The 714 is Matthew 7:14, its chapter and its verse.

Read it in the three translations the app carries, then in the Greek it was written in.

Inside the app

Everything it does
Inside the app

Read one translation, or two side by side, verse by verse. The app opens on the Berean Standard Bible: modern, readable and dedicated to the public domain.

Type John 3:16, Ps 23 or a few words you remember, and go straight to the passage or search the whole text. After one download the whole Bible lives on your device and opens without a connection.

Open the interlinear under any verse of the Old or New Testament: the Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek word, its transliteration, its gloss and its Strong’s number. Tap a word for its grammar spelled out and its entry in Brown-Driver-Briggs or Abbott-Smith.

Every word has its own study: its dictionary form, Strong’s and the full lexicon entries, every form it takes and every place it occurs, its root family, and a network of the words it keeps company with.

The Gospel will be Told, not Sold.

Free, all the way down.

Not only the app: every text, lexicon and cross-reference beneath it is freely licensed, and checked to be. There is no price and no account, and there never will be.

  • Freely licensed texts

    Public domain and open licences only. The build refuses any source whose licence is not on the list.

  • Nothing to sell

    No payments, no ads, no analytics. Automated checks stop the build if any of them appear.

  • Open source

    The code is free software, and what the ministry writes is shared alike, so it stays free wherever it goes.

How we work

Three commitments run through everything.

  1. Two layers, kept apart

    Reference material gives each tradition's own account, with its sources. The ministry's teaching speaks in its own voice and is always marked as such, so you know which is which.

  2. Truth over framing

    Where a popular framing and the documented record differ, the record is shown and the framing is named.

  3. Reverence for the text

    Nothing here writes Scripture or a definition. Every verse and every lexicon entry is its source's own text, byte for byte, and checked against it.

Keep it with you

The first visit downloads the whole text once and checks it. After that the Bible opens without a connection, and nothing you read or write is sent anywhere.

Keep it on your device

Teaching

The ministry’s own voice

In preparation

Teaching from Gateroad Ministry

Teaching in the ministry’s own words is being written. When it comes, it will be marked as teaching, one step away from the reference material, so the reader always chooses to hear it.

Coming to the app

What comes next

  • Cross-references

    344,799 links between verses, ranked by how helpful readers have found them.

  • Maps and places

    The places of the text on a map that works offline, with the journeys drawn.

  • Timelines

    Events in order, each with its sources and how certain its date is.

  • A study companion

  • More languages

    isiZulu, Afrikaans, Sesotho, Amharic and Swahili after English.

It is for those who want to find the truth for themselves.
