A folder template for verse by verse Bible commentary

This repository is a template intended for writing a verse by verse Bible commentary. The template includes a folder for each book of the Bible, with subfolders for chapters, and markdown files for verses.

I recommend using Obsidian as the text editor. This allows for additional functionality such as linking to other verses.

This template was created using generator.py which adapts https://github.com/aruljohn/Bible-kjv to create files. Omitted verses were subsequently removed.¹

How to Use

1. Fork or download this repository.

2. Write your commentary in the respective markdown file for the verse you are commentating on. e.g. The file for Luke 4:21 would be Luke/4/21.md

3. If using Obsidian, you can link to other verse files e.g. [[Isaiah/61/1]]

   a. I recommend installing the Backlinks and Outgoing links plugins
