Bible Downloads
Lyricue can load bible verses from either via it's own SQL format, or any sword bible module
Sword Format
Lyricue can use bible translations from the Sword project as long as you have a small utility called 'diatheke' installed. If diatheke is installed any sword bibles installed will show up automatically without configuration. You may need to add/install the 'diatheke' tool from your package manager
Sword bibles are also used by Bibletime and Gnomesword/Xiphos
The most common method is to download from Crosswire.org.
The Sword project provides a number of bible translations in a number of different languages. When downloading from there please use the 'Raw ZIP' download.
Your distribution may also provide pre-made packages for some bible texts.
In the case of Ubuntu and Debian the packages are named 'sword-text-*'. On other distributions they may be named differently.
