Scripture Core

Scripture Core provides tools for working with scripture references. It provides the ScriptureReference class to model different types of scripture references (e.g. an entire book, chapter(s), ranges of chapters, verse(s), and ranges of verses).

A ScriptureReference can be parsed from a String using the ScriptureReferenceUtil class.
