Translations & Copyright

Last updated: August 2026

ScOAR presents Bible verse text exactly as written, sourced verbatim from the translations below. ScOAR's AI never generates, paraphrases, or alters Scripture text itself — it only selects which verses are relevant and writes a separate reflection alongside them. This page lists every translation ScOAR uses and its copyright status.

English

English Standard Version ESV

Scripture quotations marked ESV are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), copyright © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers. Used by permission. All rights reserved. The ESV text may not be quoted in any publication made available to the public by a Creative Commons license. The ESV may not be translated into any other language.

The American Standard Version (1901) is in the public domain in the United States. It may be freely copied and used without restriction.

The King James Version (1611/1769) is in the public domain in most of the world. In the United Kingdom, Crown copyright applies to certain print/publication rights, which does not restrict ScOAR's use here.

French

The Louis Segond translation (1910 revision) is in the public domain. It may be freely copied and used without restriction.

Spanish, Portuguese, Korean & Chinese

ScOAR does not currently have access to a verified public-domain Bible text for these languages. When ScOAR references a verse in these languages, it will note that you should consult your preferred Bible for the exact wording rather than display AI-generated text as Scripture.

How Verse Text Is Sourced

For languages and translations with a licensed or public-domain source available, ScOAR fetches verse text verbatim from that source at the time of your request — it is never written or altered by the AI. The AI's role is limited to selecting which references are relevant to what you've shared and writing a separate reflection alongside the verse text. Verse text and reflection are always visually distinct within the app.
