Greetings, Ian,

As someone who loves all things related to the Bible, I most certainly share 
your frustration.

One way to circumvent some difficulties is to use the Bible Gateway.  Try 
http://www.biblegateway.com
 

Perhaps this approach might give you access to what you need.

On the journey,

Mike
