Needs web access
Paste this into a chat. ChatGPT reads the chapter, quotes it exactly and keeps its own words apart.
Open the chapter it readsRead https://trustbible.org/en/bible/philippians/4/ and quote verses 6-7 exactly from the KJV. Then explain what they say about worry, keeping your explanation separate from the quotation, and link to the chapter. If you cannot open the page, say so instead of quoting from memory.Claude

Reading Scripture through these routes sends no personal words to TrustBible. A question passed in a ?q= link can stay in browser history and shared links, so use neutral wording there and let the person type anything private themselves.
