If you've ever fumbled between browser tabs trying to copy a Bible verse into a sermon outline or study guide, BibleBolt was built for you. Created by Bible Society, founded in 1804,^6 BibleBolt is an add-on that lets you insert and format Bible verses directly inside Google Docs and Microsoft Word, with no copy-paste gymnastics required.^1
With a simple toolbar button or keyboard shortcut, you can search any passage and drop it into your document with clean, consistent formatting, including verse numbers and headings.^2 BibleBolt connects to the Digital Bible Library and supports eleven translations: the NIV, ESV, KJV, NASB 2020, NLT (both Anglicised and US editions), The Message, GNB, GNT, CEV, and the public-domain Berean Standard Bible (BSB).^1 Its interface is available in seven languages: English, Welsh, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Portuguese.^1 The Google Workspace listing describes BibleBolt as free of charge with paid features.^2
BibleBolt was born at Kingdom Code BUILD, a Christian tech hackathon in the UK, where the Google Docs version was first developed. Bible Society brought it back the following year to explore expanding into Microsoft Word and beyond.^3
