If your budget is zero, stick to Public Domain Bibles. These are completely free to use and distribute. Versions like the King James Version (KJV) or the World English Bible (WEB) can be downloaded and used in ProPresenter without any licensing worries. 3. Importing Custom Text
Once you have your Bibles set up, you can take your production to the next level:
By choosing the official route, you get a stable system, automatic updates, and peace of mind during your Sunday service.
If you have a specific translation that isn't available, you can always use the Reflow Editor to copy and paste scripture from a trusted web source. It takes a few more minutes but guarantees that your slides look exactly how you want them. Pro-Tips for Better Scripture Slides

The good news is that ProPresenter makes it incredibly easy to add Bibles legally. You don’t need to be a coding expert or risk your hardware. 1. Use the Built-in Bible Store

ProPresenter has a direct integration with BibleGateway, allowing you to access dozens of versions for free (like the KJV or ASV). For copyrighted versions like the NIV, ESV, or NLT, you can purchase a permanent license directly within the app for a small one-time fee. This ensures the formatting is perfect and the text is accurate. 2. Public Domain Options
