Scriptura

Read a Bible passage in one or more editions side by side (Hebrew WLC, Greek Septuagint, SBL Greek NT, English WEB/ASV/Douay-Rheims/Brenton, Russian Synodal, Luther 1912, Louis Segond). Verses are aligned to English numbering even where the Septuagint or Hebrew count differently.

Read a work from the shelf. Without a section: its table of contents (with paragraph counts). With a section: that section's text, original and translation row by row, up to ~24k characters; if truncated, call again with paragraph = next_paragraph to read on. With find: every row in the work (or in one section) containing that text, accent- and breathing-insensitive (e.g. find "αλοω κατα ποντον" or "worse than a brother"), with section and paragraph to read it.
