Genesis — Chapter 1
2
1In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth. 2But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the water. 3And God said, Let there be light, and there was light. 4And God saw the light that it was good, and God divided between the light and the darkness. 5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day. 6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it be a division between water and water, and it was so. 7And God made the firmament, and God divided between the water which was under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament. 8And God called the firmament Heaven, and God saw that it was good, and there was evening and there was morning, the second day. 9And God said, Let the water which is under the heaven be collected into one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And the water which was under the heaven was collected into its places, and the dry land appeared. 10And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas, and God saw that it was good. 11And God said, Let the earth bring forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit-tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and it was so. 12And the earth brought forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and God saw that it was good. 13And there was evening and there was morning, the third day. 14And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, to divide between day and night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for years. 15And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, and it was so. 16And God made the two great lights, the greater light for regulating the day and the lesser light for regulating the night, the stars also. 17And God placed them in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, 18and to regulate day and night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. 20And God said, Let the waters bring forth reptiles having life, and winged creatures flying above the earth in the firmament of heaven, and it was so. 21And God made great whales, and every living reptile, which the waters brought forth according to their kinds, and every creature that flies with wings according to its kind, and God saw that they were good. 22And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the creatures that fly be multiplied on the earth. 23And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day. 24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind, quadrupeds and reptiles and wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and it was so. 25And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and cattle according to their kind, and all the reptiles of the earth according to their kind, and God saw that they were good. 26And God said, Let us make man according to our image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of heaven, and over the cattle and all the earth, and over all the reptiles that creep on the earth. 27And God made man, according to the image of God he made him, male and female he made them. 28And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on the earth. 29And God said, Behold I have given to you every seed-bearing herb sowing seed which is upon all the earth, and every tree which has in itself the fruit of seed that is sown, to you it shall be for food. 30And to all the wild beasts of the earth, and to all the flying creatures of heaven, and to every reptile creeping on the earth, which has in itself the breath of life, even every green plant for food; and it was so. 31And God saw all the things that he had made, and, behold, they were very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

Read the Orthodox Bible Online for Free

Orthodox Bible Online gives you free access to the complete Orthodox Bible from anywhere in the world. The Orthodox Bible has been the cornerstone of Christian worship, prayer, and spiritual life within the Eastern Orthodox tradition for nearly two thousand years. Now you can read the Orthodox Bible online on your phone, carrying the same sacred texts that the Church Fathers studied and meditated upon throughout the centuries.

The Orthodox Bible includes books that many Western Bibles omit — the deuterocanonical texts such as the Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach (Ecclesiasticus), Tobit, Judith, and the books of the Maccabees. These books have been part of the Orthodox Christian canon since the earliest centuries of the Church and contain profound wisdom for daily life and spiritual growth. Reading them alongside the familiar Old and New Testament texts gives you the complete scripture as the Orthodox Church has always received it.

Our free Orthodox Bible app makes it easy to read the Orthodox Bible online with modern digital tools. You can search any verse instantly, bookmark passages for later reflection, listen to the audio Bible during your commute, and follow the daily readings according to the Orthodox lectionary — all from your phone or tablet.

What Books Are in the Orthodox Bible?

The Orthodox Bible contains 76 books — more than the 66 found in most Protestant Bibles. The additional texts, often called the deuterocanonical books, include the Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, Tobit, Judith, Baruch, the Letter of Jeremiah, and 1-4 Maccabees. The Orthodox Church has always considered these books to be sacred scripture, and they are read during liturgical services throughout the year. Many beloved Orthodox hymns and prayers draw directly from these texts — for example, the prayer of the Three Holy Children from the book of Daniel is sung during Matins in Orthodox churches worldwide.

The Orthodox Audio Bible: Listen to Scripture Anywhere

One of the most powerful features of reading the Orthodox Bible online is the audio Bible. The Orthodox tradition has always been an oral tradition — scripture was read aloud in churches long before most people owned personal copies. The Orthodox Bible App continues this tradition by offering the complete audio Bible, allowing you to listen to the Old and New Testaments while driving, exercising, or going about your daily routine. Many users find that listening to scripture helps them absorb and meditate on God's word in a way that reading alone cannot achieve.

Daily Orthodox Bible Readings

The Orthodox Church follows a liturgical calendar with specific scripture readings assigned to each day of the year. These daily readings connect the faithful to the rhythm of the Church's worship — the feasts, fasts, and commemorations that have shaped Orthodox Christian life for centuries. The Orthodox Bible App provides these daily readings automatically, so you always know which passages the Church invites you to read today. Following the Orthodox lectionary is one of the most time-honored ways to read the Bible systematically and in communion with the worldwide Orthodox Church.

Orthodox Bible Online for All Jurisdictions

Whether you belong to a Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Antiochian, Serbian, Romanian, Bulgarian, or OCA parish, the Orthodox Bible App provides the scripture and prayer resources common to all Orthodox traditions. The core of the Orthodox faith — the Bible, the Creed, the sacraments, the prayers — is shared across all jurisdictions. This app reflects that unity by offering resources that any Orthodox Christian can use, regardless of their particular church tradition or ethnic heritage.

From Print to Digital: The Orthodox Bible Online

A physical Bible has limitations: it's heavy, it can't play audio, and you can't search it instantly. The Orthodox Bible App brings sacred scripture into the digital age. The Orthodox Bible online is no longer limited to a heavy volume on your shelf — it travels with you, speaks to you through audio, and guides your daily prayer life with readings selected by the Church for each day of the liturgical year. You can highlight passages, take notes, bookmark your favorite verses, and return to them anytime.
