Commercial use: Allowed

Source policy: Official distribution only
Text policy: Display faithfully

Trademark safeguard: if Scripture wording is altered, the modified text will not be identified as the World English Bible. BibleClasses will keep the source text unchanged and label it by edition.

Import method: the official USFM archive was downloaded directly from eBible. Formatting codes, Strong’s metadata, cross-references, and footnotes were removed for clean reading; verse wording was not rewritten.

Historical and institutional research

The research collection uses original factual summaries, attributed ONS census figures under OGL v3.0, selected Pew Research Center findings under its Terms of Use, public-domain U.S. constitutional facts, and reference-only institutional links. Source-specific notices and limits accompany every record; no source institution endorses the site.
