Ubuntu (and derivatives) have the classic package "bible-kjv", which
gives you a bible(1) command:

 
~$ bible
Command 'bible' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install bible-kjv
 
 
It's not in the default install nor is it anything special to Linux.

I didn't say either, I meant it was in the repos for easy installation.
You can also get the raw text, as well as the concordance-creating tools,
 with "apt source bible-kjv".  The Bible text looks like the following:

$ head -3 bible.rawtext
Holy Bible, Authorized (King James) Version.  Textfile 930105.
Ge1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Ge1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the
face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

However, I saw in another post that you don't prefer the kjv, so I guess
this won't be much use to you.

I
have
 
amazon.com/Modern-Liturgy-Hours-2025-Contemporary-ebook/dp/B0DM94P5QF
 
on my Kindle. That certainly doesn't imply any special relationship of
Amazon or Kindle to Christianity.

I didn't think there was such a relationship with Ubuntu, just pointing
out that you can get a helpful tool from the default repos.

(However, one might consider that the gift culture of the "spirit
of Ubuntu" could be compared to the early Christian communities.)
