Check out this great FREE Bible tool at http://e-sword.net

It's great for searching the Bible and keeping your notes for study.

And you can download many additional Bible version, verse commentary.
You can also compare Bible verses and see the differences in Bibles.

I recommend to download the KVJ Bible from http://e-sword.net/bibles.html, it's the same that comes with the e-sword but without the numbers next to the words. And then at least Barnes, Clarke, Gill and TSK commentary from http://e-sword.net/commentaries.html.

What an awesome tool.

Heh... We are all related, if you think about way back...

But back to bible study,
e-Sword uses STEP format right? Does any one know if there is a API you could use to read the same Bible files e-Sword uses? This would be a useful way to include verses in games.

for more info, you can just use some windows api calls to read access files, using the jET engine which will be on any windows machine by default (98+) , its easy.. i can show you some of my dephi code for it
one note, e-sword stores the scriptures in the database in RTF format.. so maybe you'll have to transform that to plain text or whatever.

Ahh, great. No thanks for the delphi code, I'm learning from DAO samples.

Hey if you can get that password and PM to me it would be great! If not I'm just going to contact the e-Sword's author.

That's harsh... Have you tried turning them of for a while or something?

Me and my dad are going to wipe the computer sometime soon, should be able to download .zips again and all that stuff i can't do now becasue of the stinking adware and internet security.
