Read a Bible passage word for word from a stored text: one verse, a verse range, or a whole chapter, by reference. Default is the King James Version; translation (an id from list_translations) or language (BCP-47) reads the same passage from about sixty stored public domain or freely licensed Bibles in that translation's own numbering, with its license. Use when the person names or implies a reference ("John 3:16", "Psalm 23", "1 Cor 13:4-7"). Not for finding verses by wording (scripture_search) or by feeling or need (verses_for), for a verse with its surrounding verses (scripture_context), for linked passages (cross_references), for one passage in several Bibles side by side (compare_translations), or for the Hebrew or Greek words (original_words). reference takes one book and chapter with an optional verse or range inside that chapter; ranges across chapters are not supported. Deterministic. An unparseable reference returns an error suggesting scripture_search; an unknown translation or language, or a book a translation does not hold, returns an error naming list_translations and the translations that do hold it.
