A Discord bot that brings Bible verses, chapters, and the Seed Bible reading app into your server — via slash commands or by simply typing a reference like John 3:16 in chat.

Installing the bot into your server

You'll need Manage Server permission on the target server to complete the invite flow.

Commands

Slash commands are available to everyone unless noted otherwise. /help also works as a !help text command.

Admin / server-management commands

These are restricted by Discord itself based on the required permission, so members without it won't see them as usable.

Typing references in chat

When inline detection is enabled (the default), typing a reference like John 3:16, Genesis 1, or Rom 8:28-30 in a message the bot can see will get an automatic reply with that passage — no slash command needed. Up to 5 references per message are handled.

Configuration

Per-server settings

The rest of the bot's configuration is done in-server via the admin commands above, and is stored per Discord server (guild):

Translation resolution order for any command: an explicit translation argument, then the invoking user's /settranslation preference, then the server default, then BSB.
