Would be nice to have a list of all books and their verse numbers so you can make a random function.

Pretty helpful. The more translations the better too. Cross referencing translations is always interesting for me.

Nice API. Still, it's a little like a Shakespeare API that supports only Portuguese and Chinese. It would be great to include the original languages.

Meh. I would really love to see the day when religion stops being more than a fantasy fictional story. The project is nice, but I dislike its promotion of religion, and christianity in particular. This story has caused way too much suffering already. I wonder who will first use this project for children indoctrination.

There's a ton of work getting the data into the correct format for this API. I, too, would love to have Greek and Hebrew available, but I'm glad that we have at least as much as this.

I don't take advice from a book that has caused so much physical and mental pain, ruined lives and families.
