Financial principle
Why the apps are free
This is the question most frequently put to us. The answer both begins and ends with a single sentence of Scripture.
The word Yeshua used
Given as it was received
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out demon(individual evil spirits to be expelled)s — you received dorean(freely), give dorean(freely).Matthew 10:8 · Yeshua Literal Version
The same word occurs twice, signifying that the manner of receiving and the manner of giving are to be the same. Having received this Word freely, we are bound to give it freely. The financial principle of this organization extends no further than this.
What is free
Nothing standing between a reader and the Word
The price of a Bible may be negligible to one reader and the cost of a meal to another. Original-language software commonly costs several hundred dollars. No one should have to weigh what they can afford before approaching the Word.
So the YLV apps are given away. There are no advertisements and nothing to buy inside them. They hold the whole Bible, read aloud in English and Korean, with the Hebrew or Greek word behind every verse, and they open without an internet connection, wherever a phone can be carried. The Bible text on this site, the studies and the complete original-language analysis are open in the same way.
A reader should meet the Word before meeting a price.
