Duncan Johnson has provided a noteworthy comment on my Ubiquity post: he links to his brand new esv-insert command.

I subscribed to it right away. It works great!

Now you can insert any ESV passage into a Gmail message. Thanks, Duncan!

Glad you like it Mark! Thanks for the positive comments.

I just added a command that outputs the esv in plain text instead of rich text. It’s bundled with the main esv-insert command as esv-insert-plain, so if you subscribed to the command with auto-update you should have the new feature.

when he delights in his way;
