Or, they could use studylight.org or biblegateway.com

There are a load of free options.

Well I, at 3onesix (a Christian web development group), just released the first Bible search for the iPhone as the first part of 3onesix Ministry Tools. We will also be making a prayer book and Bible notes applications within the next few months. You can access 3onesix Ministry Tools at iphone.3onesix.com and 3onesix at 3onesix.com.

It seems Laridian (who I have used for years on WM based pdas and phones) are working on a bible for the iPhone...

Definatley worth looking into if you own or plan on owning an iPhone!

I made a Bible formated for the iPhone at http://iphone.clearsight.org. Its simple, but useful. :)

Neat. I love that the bible is popping up for the iphone everywhere. Do you, also, have a site that works for other mobile browsers? Like the one on the crackberry?

And, just an FYI.... http://clearsight.org/ is broken.

It is great. Good job!. Its nice to see several people doing this now. I was unable get an iphone, so a crackberry version would be cool.

iBiblez.com has a program called TouchBible. It is a new iPhone Bible. There are two versions. One is a downloadable bible for iphone(the NT) the other is a Mobile version that requires the internet.

It has a pretty neat way to navigate from one book to the next. And the downloadable version requires no special software. Just thought you'd like to look into it :)

I really like the iPhone Bible at http://www.laridian.com/iphone/. The cool thing about Laridian is that when you license a Bible translation, you can use it on any reader they offer for any device. You don't have to purchse it over again. I have purchased the NIV and then I have a few free ones from their site. The only bad thing about onilne version is that, well, it is online. With the iPhone SDK out, I am looking forward to more native options so I can searcha and move around between books and chapters faster.

The big thing for me having a Bible on my iPhone is that I find myself reading and studying more regular because I actually have it with me at all times. I also have no problem reading from a device.

Thanks!

I was a long-time Laridian customer on my Palm but unfortunately their only solution is web-based which is not a great solution when your place of worship doesn't have good signal. They have not been very forthcoming on their iPhone app solution.

I have found BibleXpress to be an excellent iPhone app. No need to have cell / wifi signal. Multiple translations and the author puts alot of work into it.

For the iPhone I have found that the Bible software from Olive Tree is pretty good. I used to use the Palm and Windows Mobile versions and was really happy that they finally got an iPhone version out. You can find them at http://www.olivetree.com/ for more information.

Check out Youversion(Lifechurch.tv) for iphone, pretty nice. It has an option to download translations and save locally. Its free in the iTunes store.

Yep, the LifeChurch.tv Bible app is awesome! I know the developer via the Internets and he is really working hard on it. I would like to have more offline versions, but I am figuring it is a licensing/cost issue.

Thanks!

BibleXpress is probably my favorite also. I like having a local copy on my iphone. I also use three apps by Paul Avery. GreekFlash, GreekGrams, and HolyBible

I just released a version of the KJV of the Bible in a fully bundled package for the iPhone/iPod touch. It has all the features of the other big suppliers of apps, but doesn't require a network to operate.
