THE TEXT STAYS HERE
Read it. Reference it. Keep it.
The source is the public-domain World English Bible British Edition with Deuterocanon (WEBBE). All 38,058 verse lines in the publisher's text edition are retained in this repository, split by book without changing their bytes. The local reader reproduces the passage wording, including original punctuation.
Its extended collection includes books with differing canonical status. Old Testament, New Testament and additional books are labelled separately. The choice of this English edition makes the references accessible; it does not prescribe a canon to every Assyrian church or replace its liturgical Bible tradition.
The source format already omitted translator footnotes, paragraph divisions and introductions. Refer to the publisher's other formats when those are needed. Read the coverage and interpretation notes.
