It's a manual -- for living.

bible-kjv-text is the data, bible-kjv the program.

bible-kjv could theoretically handle any text in the same way as the bible,
but no other text has been formatted for it to work on.

verse doesn't use bible-kjv-text for its source, but a compilation of
quotes that its original author put together.  It is actually a rather
small package, with a 38Kb deb, including the verses.  It's on a par
with, say, fortune.  I don't think it really fits the purpose of data.
