My friend, I signed up, and looks like the passage validator is too strict on Bible refs, so I can't generate a report. It rejects smart quotes, en dashes, semicolons, and abbreviations, and seems to require full book names, ASCII hyphens, and comma-separated refs in one line. The format examples also seemed inconsistent.

Are they matching against a simple regex?

Inconsistent example format:

```

Enter any Bible reference - single verses, ranges, or entire chapters. Examples: "Matthew 5:3-12", "Psalm 23", "1 Corinthians 13"

Invalid reference format (e.g., John 3, 1 Cor 13:4-7, Gen 1-2). Book name only is not allowed.

```
