Another resource available for students of the scriptures is the website Biblehub.com. BibleHub is a massive site with lots of resources available on it. In the upcoming October 2020 release of Scripture Notes, this will be one of the resources automatically linked to from all Bible verses so you have one-click access to a powerful tool that allows you to study Bible verses in new ways.
As a member of the Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-Day Saints, there is doctrine on this site in sermons of others which doesn’t fully agree with the teachings of the church, but I have found great value on this site in many ways in trying to understand a particular Bible verse. Sometimes the commentary by others is very enlightening, but I particularly appreciate the parallel Bibles and Strong’s concordance information. For the most part, there is a high degree of overlapping beliefs so much of what you can find here is illuminating.
Access Bible Hub from Scripture Notes with 1-Click
From any Bible verse you can click the chain on the right and be taken straight to the Bible Hub page that shows 28 different Bible translations for that verse. There are other incredibly helpful features shown below that this site provides to visitors.
Bible Hub Menu
When you arrive at the site, at the top you’ll see quick links to get to any book, chapter, and verse in the Bible. On row 2 you can quickly type in a reference and be taken to it. Row 3 lets you get right to the text of about 30 different translations of the Bible. Rows 4 and 5 contain a lot of other powerful features which I will detail below. Some are of more value than others in understanding the scriptures. The ones I put images of are the ones I find most relevant and useful to my own study but you can click through the various features to just see what’s available.
Row 4
Parallel Bible Verses
A parallel Bible is where you can see individual verses compared between all the versions. Here’s an example of Galatians 3:29.
This is especially helpful when you encounter a verse that is challenging to understand such as Paul’s language in Romans. Sometimes reading another translation helps explain the verse better because it has clearer language or in the use of a different word it makes more sense.
Sermons
Besides the commentaries, you can also find a lot of sermons from ministers that include a verse. I don’t personally spend time here but if there was a desire to see what other people have written in more depth you might find something useful here.
Topical
Whatever chapter and verse you are in, this will list the topics associated with it and let you dig into them.
Strong’s
Similar to the Blue Letter Bible site, this shows you the Strong’s concordance but in a different format.
Comment
This section is full of commentary on verses. I find this more helpful than the sermons area mentioned above because it’s specific to understanding the verses, not a sermon weaving through the scriptures.
Interlin
Interlinear view is a presentation of Hebrew or Greek text with the English translation. As you can see here, in Hebrew, the words read from right to left so the English translation under them must be read that way as well.
Hebrew (changes to Greek when viewing New Testament verses)
Another presentation in the Hebrew (or Greek) similar to Interlinear.
Lexicon
Another presentation in the Hebrew (or Greek) similar to Interlinear.
Multi
Multilingual in case you want to read in an even wider variety of languages. I know sometimes people gain insight from another language that has slightly different meanings of words than English.
Row 5
PAR-Parallel chapters
Instead of seeing verses compared alone, now you get chapters down columns to compare to each others.
TSK-Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Sort of a topical look at a verse of scripture with an outline of the chapter.
TIM-Timeline
I love the timeline feature which gives you an outline of history along with the chapters that go with that segment of history. Trying to keep track of events in Kings and Chronicles and have a semblance of the broader picture is tricky. However, one word of caution, the site seems to subscribe to the notion that the historical timeline is off and Christ was born in 5 BC and died in 30 AD. That is not the timeline used by many others including the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We believe he was born in 1 BC and died in 33 AD.
Every book gets a timeline. Here’s an example from Numbers.
OUT-Outline
This is very similar to the timeline feature.
CON-Context
This shows verses of a chapter run together like a book for that style of reading. Shorter commentary is below it.
LIB-Library
Short summaries of each chapter.
BBB-Bible Book Summary by Harold Willmington, a Bible scholar
This is a nice overview of each book of the Bible (ex. Genesis). It starts off with a summary of information about the book, then lists the events of the book, a short description of the people mentioned in that book and what they did, key places mentioned in the book, things unique to that book, and a list of titles or symbols of Christ contained within that book. For example, from the book of Acts:
Down to… 
Pretty neat.
PSB-Parallel English/(Hebrew or Greek) Study Bible
This is another presentation of English with the Hebrew or Greek verses.
ABP-Apostolic Bible Polyglot
This is an all Greek version of the Bible including the Old Testament with the English under it. You can click on Strong’s reference numbers to dig in deeper to the meaning.
LXX-Swete’s Septuagint
This is strictly a Greek translation of the Bible. No English shown but if you hover your mouse on words you can see the translation and click to access the Strong’s concordance for those words.
Main Menu
Below rows 4 & 5 you will find this menu which has additional resources. The Atlas is helpful for seeing maps of Biblical areas and the measures page is a comprehensive assortment of lengths and weights mentioned in the Bible. Very helpful for getting a better visual on things that took place in the Bible.
BibleHub is a wonderful and comprehensive resource to the student of the Bible.
