Here you can generate a formatted version of all the Holy Bible translations that are availabe at Bible Gateway, in JSON and SQL format.
Text is downloaded with the help of the meaningless package. Run the bible_gateway.py script to get started. Feel free to create any issues or pull requests as needed.
I will add more versions as they are supported by the meaningless package.
Warning
Due to copyright issues, all formatted bible text has been removed from the repository. If you want to use the formatted files, you will have to generate them yourself with the script.
Important
This repository is actively under development. You can follow along in the bible-translations project. You’re welcome to open issues for feature ideas or bug reports.

Important
* Both the NMB and RVA translations are not generated by the script since complete versions of them are not available on Bible Gateway yet. The meaningless package still works for those translations, just not the entire Bible.
If you would like more resources, I have found that the Holy-Bible-XML-Format is a great repo if you are willing to use XML.
