NIVUK 1984 bible version

gazdunn

We are switching over the openlp from Word of worship. WoW had 1984 NIVUK built in. I don't seem to be able to extract the bible out of the previous software or find a version elsewhere online. We need it standalone as the is currently no internet in our old building. It needs to be 1984 to match with our pew bibles. Any thoughts?

You can still use the online Bibles is you setup your service where you have internet and then present it where you don't have internet.... A quick search shows that http://www.opensong.org/home/download has NIV 1984, but I do not know if it has the UK version....

I am pretty certain the open song one is the US english version. Only subtle changes but enough for it to be a problem. I am having difficulty finding an online version of 1984 UK NIV. Does anyone know if you can get the bible out of WoW or if they are willing to share an older copy of it in a format that openlp can support? We have a copy of it but it is locked in software we don't want to continue using. I am happy to buy it but it doesn't appear to be for sale anywhere.

Have you looked at this site? https://www.logos.com/product/29979/the-holy-bible-new-international-version-anglicised It appears to have the version you are looking for in a digital format.

Will that one work with openlp? I wasn't sure if it was just for logos. I couldn't find a format for it. If it does then thanks in advance.

If the last file didn't work there still may be another path....OpenSong has a site where you can download the 2009 version of the Bible...http://www.minehead-baptist.com/resources/opensong/  This is an xml file of the Bible and should upload.  I know this is not the version you want....It is not the current version of the NIVUK and it is not the older version....

Thanks. That appears to be the 1984 version I want. There is no 2009 version only 1983, 1984 and 2011. Thank you.

gazdunn I know it was some time ago when you posted about a NIVUK 1984 bible and I was wondering if you managed to get an xml version of the NIV UK version? Thanks in advance for any reply.

FBPC is the one from https://www.bible.com/en-GB/bible/113/GEN.1.NIVUK ? There is a github project that scrapes bible.com to create an sql version - openlp_bibles_sqlite
