A helpful Bible study resource

Back in April I wrote a post about the STEP Bible. STEP stands for Scripture Tools for Every Person - and is a great, free, online resource that helps you take your Bible study further. You can read that introductory post here. 

A new translation has been added to the STEP resource. In a Facebook post this week this new translation was described in the following way:

The NET Bible is a fresh scholarly translation in modern English with an important and unique feature: notes that record the translators' decisions. STEPBible has these notes in full, so that when we wonder “What’s behind that translation?” the answer is at hand.

When searching in the 'NETfull' version, every time there is a little arrow, this provides translators' notes at the bottom of the screen. Here is an example from the first word of Luke 2:1.
