Particularly good since these are mainly in the public domain, which speaks to my “who owns our words of worship” concern.

I'm also planning to someday do this with Ephesians, Romans, and Matthew. But I also discovered that if I choose to publish it, I will need to do so in KJV.

So open source it will be... even if it is KJV. Derek I’m putting together study notes for Galatians (keying the text to quotes from weighty Universalists and Unitarians).
