Put the text in a database or you will fail.

Well, I always read the bible offline...

You need to consider what a potential user might want. And consider what is already available, particularly online. And what you might be able to offer which is in demand but not being addressed.

Most people who would want to look up Bible verses already have a bible and access to online versions. Some online Bible resources will also show a comparison of different versions of the Bible.

Who is your potential audience?
What might they want? -- They definitely want performance, so a Bible-sized text search is not going to find success.

If you provide an online resource with a web-based client you can add features (such as more versions, or commentary by scholars) very easily. But you could also provide the ability for the user to download portions for more leisurely study.

you are not helping at all i have a design i want to do you are saying do not do it if you want you can tell me how to do it thanks

The design is simple. You need a datasource which your application can access randomly so that it can quickly take the reader to any verse. It also needs to be able to read sequentially from any point. So start thinking about how you could achieve that and maybe create some small test files to try it out.
