Bible Widget
Verse of the day, passage lookup and inline scripture references, in the translations you actually use.
What it does
Rotates automatically, or follows a list you curate.
Any reference or range, formatted properly with verse numbers.
Scripture mentions in your content become hover previews.
Choose the default, and let visitors switch.
Daily readings with a progress view.
Nothing is fetched on every page load.
Every church site wants scripture on it, and most end up pasting it in by hand — which means typos, missing references and a verse of the day that has not changed since March.
Bible Widget handles all three jobs: an automatic verse of the day, a passage block you can place anywhere, and inline references that turn a mention like John 3:16 into a hover with the text in it. Multiple translations, and a reading plan mode for sites that run one.

Questions about this product
Which translations are included?
The public-domain ones ship with the plugin. Copyrighted translations require a key from their publisher, which the plugin supports.
