You can generate txs files (needed by OpBible) from Sword sources. You need to have libsword-dev package installed in your computer because sword sources are binary files able to be read only by specific software. You can download a "module" (i.e. Bible text in given language+variant) from https://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModDisp.jsp?modType=Bibles Unzip the downloaded file in a working directory: the directory with a module name is crated. If you do in working directory: installmgr -l the downloaded modules are listed. mod2tex module > module.out a single text file with all Bible text fro given module is created in module.out maketxs.py module.out 66 txs files are created and single books.tex file too.
