Hi,
I bought the ESV Study Bible (Bible and Notes), and as I open the book, it only shows the notes and the articles. I don't know how to find the Bible texts. Could you please share with me how to do it?

You set both the ESV and the ESVSB in the same "Set", Set A for example.
Then put the bible in one pane and the ESVSB in the other. They should track each other from then on. That is, if you look up John 3.16 in ESV, the ESVSB will automatically scroll to its entry on John 3.16 too.
Clear as mud?
Thanks for your prompt reply. Yes, I know how to use ESVSB in conjunction with another resource. But it doesn't explain what extra benefit I get by buying Bible plus notes if the Bible cannot be accessed within the ESVSB product in its full version. I have a hard copy of ESVSB, and I wonder if I can see the intertextual notes in the digital version.

@Qian Cenyang the SB is another resource. They are separate. You have to set the Bible up in one pane and the SB in another, and then (as @Genghis says) set them to follow or link them.
They are separate for practical reasons. A lot of users have bought the ESV. It wouldn't make sense to sell them another copy of the ESV just to get the SB notes. So those are sold as a separate resource.
I think the tricky thing is rather Logos does sell the note with the Bible, and this supposedly complete product works the same as the note-only product, that is the Bible+notes shows nothing different from notes-only. I'll let it be.
The reason Logos separates the Bible text and the notes is so we don't have to buy the same Bible multiple times - once for each study Bible. They could extend their dynamic text feature so that the text and notes were reunited within Logos if their contracts permitted it. I don't know if they do. AFAIK it has not been enough of an issue for anyone to make an official suggestion that the Bible text and notes be reunited. You can certainly make the suggestion.
Thank you Smith.

What’s going on with the inability to independently search the “Galaxie Theological Journal” library? Logos will recommend journal articles when they appear in guides, but as far as I can tell there is no way to directly search the Galaxie journals themselves; e.g., BibSac. Something is clearly wrong when a search returns…
I'm not new to Logos, but I am new to syntax searching. Trying to do a simple syntax search with 1 John 2:5 as the basis. I want to see where else in the NT we have the phrase, "By this we know." Of course, I want the Greek construction, not just when the translators used those English words. I was able to successfully…

I will be helping two of my friends get oriented with Logos. One of them has a Logos Premium subscription but has not yet been able to get into Logos much. The other one has no Logos experience at all but seems very interested in learning about it. He may have downloaded the free version - but I don't know that for…
