Online HTML Fragments

You would like to display The Word in your website at an arbitrary position? Please use the address

https://bible2.net/service/today/inline/EnglishStandardVersion

The address returns The Word as HTML P elements. Using e.g. PHP, you may position these P elements anywhere in your page.

You may replace "EnglishStandardVersion" by any other of the supported Bible editions.

We cannot guarantee that this service will be available at all times! As an alternative to using this online service, you may download one of the packages that contain the text of The Word for one year.
