## How to Use
The XML files are in a few different (de facto) standard formats, all marked up with XML. There are various tools on the 'net that will let you parse the files and build something cool.
I use these files along with the [bible_parser](https://github.com/seven1m/bible_parser) Ruby gem to build a MySQL database that backs the service [bible-api.com](https://bible-api.com), which is free for everyone to use.
