Romans 9:1-9:5

9:1 Veritatem dico in Christo, non mentior: testimonium mihi perhibente
conscientia mea in Spiritu Sancto: 9:2 quoniam tristitia mihi magna
est, et continuus dolor cordi meo. 9:3 Optabam enim ego ipse anathema

You may also see the readings for a particular date or for the mass with a particular name.

View a Scripture Passage

Under the hood is an entire Latin Bible whose text comes from The Clementine Vulgate project. So, if instead you just want to see just a single passage of Sacred Scripture, use script bibleviews.sh:

$ bin/bibleviews.sh ex 20:1-17
20:1 Locutusque est Dominus cunctos sermones hos: 20:2 Ego sum
Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis.
20:3 Non habebis deos alienos coram me. 20:4 Non facies tibi
. . . snip . . .
