Why do people love Bible Gateway Plus?

The first place I go for sermon prep
[I] long ago went to the Plus level. It is a major help in sermon prep. It is the FIRST place I go for Bible Study.
account Reverend Tom B.
I stopped buying Bible software
Been a plus member for many years.... you don't have to keep buying tools.
account Donald C.
Worth more than every book I used to buy
Having access to commentaries and dictionaries [and] the ability to highlight and take notes is worth more than the low monthly amount they ask.
account S. Carpenter

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How is Bible Gateway Plus different from free Bible apps?
Bible Gateway Plus gives you access to the study resources (commentaries, Greek/Hebrew tools, multi-translation study Bibles) that free apps don’t include. It’s built for people who want to go beyond reading and actually understand what they’re reading.
Where can I use Bible Gateway Plus?
Bible Gateway Plus is fully online, your entire study library travels with you — Access online or in-App, on your laptop, tablet, or phone. Wherever you are, you can go as deep into Scripture as you want.
Who is Bible Gateway Plus for?
Bible Gateway Plus is for anyone who wants to move from simply reading the Bible to understanding it more clearly. Whether you’re reading the Verse of the Day, following a study plan, preparing to lead a group, or simply trying to make sense of a passage, it brings trusted study Bibles and commentaries alongside Scripture — so you can follow the meaning as you read.
Bible Gateway Plus is for:
  • Everyday Bible readers — Enhance your daily reading with trusted commentaries and study notes that bring new richness to familiar passages.
  • Bible students — Access a full library of resources to support your coursework, small group studies, or personal deep dives — anytime, anywhere, even from your seat in class.
  • Pastors and ministry leaders — Prepare sermons with original-language Hebrew and Greek tools, trusted commentaries like the 2-volume Expositor's Bible Commentary, and a core workflow.
  • Scholars and academics — Dig into the original languages, like the NIV Reverse Interlinear, and draw from a collection of dictionaries, encyclopedias, and commentaries for more serious research.
Why do Pastors love using Bible Gateway Plus?
Many pastors and Bible teachers rely on Bible Gateway Plus because it brings trusted Study Bibles and commentary insights together alongside the passage they’re preparing. Instead of searching across multiple books or tools, they can compare perspectives, explore context, and follow the meaning of Scripture more clearly — all in one place.
With Bible Gateway Plus, they can:
  • Explore original-language tools — Dive into the Hebrew and Greek behind the text to uncover deeper meaning and preach with confidence.
  • Access a full biblical resources library — At their fingertips, they can access a rich collection of trusted commentaries, dictionaries, and encyclopedias — including the abridged, 2-volume Expositor's Bible Commentary.
  • Build on their free note-taking — Having already captured thoughts and sermon ideas with Bible Gateway's free note-taking tools, Bible Gateway Plus supercharges their prep by pairing those notes with a full library of study resources.
  • Fit this into any ministry budget — Get a core pastoral study toolkit at a fraction of what you might expect to pay for tools like these.
What does ad-free mean?
Bible Gateway is free to use for everyone, which means it’s supported by advertising. With Bible Gateway Plus, those paid ads are removed entirely — no banners, no interruptions between you and Scripture. Just a clean, focused reading experience.
What is Bible Gateway Plus?
Bible Gateway Plus is a paid subscription service that provides members access to premium Bible study resources and a banner ad-free Scripture reading experience on Bible Gateway.
