This repo contains versions of the Bible in the Go Bible format, as well as a generator for creating new versions.

Versions contained in this repo are public domain.

If you use the tools to generate another bible, please be aware that the bible text of various translations are copyrighted and not freely distributable with your project.

Additionally, this tool relies on BibleGateway.com to fetch the text of the bible. It uses DOM scraping, and thus could break at any time with changes to the site. If you find that a version is no longer generating, please open an issue.
