About this edition
This web edition was built from The Woman’s Study Bible, Second Edition, New King James Version, published by Thomas Nelson, Inc. It presents the NKJV Scripture text together with this edition’s study notes, portraits, charts, and book introductions.
What is and isn’t public domain here
Nothing on this site is public domain. This edition combines:
- The New King James Version Bible text — © 1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc., all rights reserved;
- Study notes, portraits, charts, book introductions, and other editorial apparatus from The Woman’s Study Bible, Second Edition — © 1995, 2006 Thomas Nelson, Inc.;
- This site’s own original page layout, typesetting, and presentation.
The source PDF’s copyright page states that the NKJV text may be quoted without prior written permission only up to and including 1,000 verses, provided the verses quoted amount to less than 50% of a complete book of the Bible and make up less than 50% of the work in which they are quoted. A full, searchable reproduction of the entire Bible — as this site is — exceeds those limits. The Woman’s Study Bible editorial content has no quotation grant at all.
Why this matters for this site
This web edition was built as a working, searchable study Bible site from the source PDF supplied for this project. Before this site (or any part of its Scripture text or study notes) is published on the live, public uecf.net domain, UECF.NET must either:
- obtain explicit written permission from Thomas Nelson Publishers / HarperCollins Christian Publishing (Bible Rights and Permissions, P.O. Box 141000, Nashville, TN 37214-1000) to republish this NKJV edition’s text and study notes online, or
- keep the site private (for example password-protected) until a licensing decision is made.
The site’s data files are structured so that a licensing change can happen without touching the reader: Scripture, notes, and book introductions live in JSON under data/.
How to use this reader
- Choose a book and chapter from the toolbar or the sidebar list.
- Search Scripture and study notes with the search button, or press Ctrl/⌘+K or /. Type a reference such as John 3:16 to jump there directly.
- Click a verse number to copy the verse or copy a link to it. A small mark on the verse number means a study note is available.
- Study notes, portraits, and charts appear in the right-hand panel.
- On a phone, use the bottom tabs for Books, Notes, and More.
Extraction accuracy
This site’s text was extracted automatically from the source PDF’s character-level layout data (font, size, and position), then aligned to a standard NKJV chapter/verse table. All 66 books and 1,189 chapters are present. A residual fraction of verses (concentrated in densely poetic books such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Job, and Psalms) may have a verse split in the wrong place, or a study note that was cut at a column/page break. Front matter essays, indexes, and maps were out of scope.
