Under the hood, this uses the \texttt{bible} command, for which you need to install \texttt{bible-kjv}. This means that by default you will have the KJV translation. Because of the need for this package and other implementation details, this package won't work on Windows. Because this package uses a binary program under the hood (which is a potential security vulnerability), you need to add the \texttt{-shell-escape} option to the command line arguments of your TeX processor. \section{Installation and source code} The \textsf{bible} package is available from CTAN: \url{https://ctan.org/pkg/bibletext}. The source code is on GitHub: \url{https://github.com/camilstaps/bibletext}. \section{Examples} \begin{example} \bibletext{Jn 1:1-2} \end{example} \begin{example} \bibletext[ref=true]{Jn 1:1-2} \end{example} \begin{example} \bibletext[ref=true,omitrepeatedchapter=true]{Jn 1:1-2} \end{example} \begin{example} \bibletext[ref=true,omitchapter=true]{Jn 1:1-2} \end{example} \section{Future work} \begin{itemize} \item When \verb$omitrepeatedchapter=true$, the chapter should again be outputted when a new chapter has begun. \item The verse indications should be parsed and a \verb$\versefont$ command should be defined. \item Implement the \verb$translation$ option to allow the writer to select a specific translation. \end{itemize} \section{Incompatibilities} The \textsf{bible} package needs to pipe shell commands, for which it needs to do \verb$\DeleteShortVerb{\|}$. This means that you cannot use \verb$|foo|$ as shorthand for \verb$\verb|foo|$% \footnote{Credits go to egreg on TeX.SE, \url{http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/294732/23992}.}. \end{document}
