Story: A user mentions a verse reference naturally in conversation and the bot responds without a slash command.
Trigger: Any message containing a recognizable verse reference — single verse, verse range, or full chapter (e.g. John 3:16, Romans 8:28-30, Ps 23, Genesis 1)
Examples and expected outputs:
Single verse — John 3:16:
John 3:16 (BSB)
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son...
Verse range — Romans 8:28-30:
Romans 8:28-30 (BSB)
And we know that in all things God works for the good...
[verse 29 text]
[verse 30 text]
Full chapter — Ps 23:
Psalm 23 (BSB)
[chapter text, paginated if long]
[Open in Seed Bible →]
Notes:
- Single verses and short ranges are posted as plain text — no button
- Full chapters include an "Open in Seed Bible" link due to length
- Seed Bible links can be disabled server-wide via
/setseedbiblelinks off, which affects chapter links too
- Uses the user's personal preference, then server default, then BSB
- Toggleable by server admins — some servers may not want automatic inline responses at all
- Non-contiguous references (
John 1:1-3, 5) should be supported
