Library 422: the app's code · MIT · source
The texts and data above keep their own terms.

Every source was converted into database tables. Texts were split into verses or into pages. The original markup became the app's own display markers, page headers and broken line-wrapping left behind by OCR were stripped out, and every scripture reference was checked against the King James canon. None of it changed the wording. The scripts that did the work are in the tools folder of the code repository.

These are old editions, some of them scans. A machine did the word tagging and worked out the lexicon links, and AI answers are generated on the spot. All of it comes as is, with no warranty that it is accurate or fit for any purpose, so check the passages yourself.
