The whole bible ?  
The bibles are just XML files in your user profile dir .quelea/bibles.  
Just grab the file and deal with it externally somehow … i.e. a python script with some parser and formatter say to HMTL which you can process and print, assuming you want a slide verse of sorts.  
If it’s just a formatted text a short python script will be sufficient. For anything fancy probably using Latex will have internal links and references ( would make it at least that fancy if going that far. )

All that said, I really don’t think you need all that because you just need to find your Bible version and publisher and then maybe it already exists in your said format. Because, see what’s in Quelea is meant for import not export.

For example, we can take 2 bible editions, and splice them together such that each verse is the same thing in 2 languages or from 2 versions in the same slide.

Point is, deal with the XML externally.

Ah, also forgot to mention your .qsch is not a bible, it’s a sort of archive(was it a zip archive?), which contains your quelea schedule.  
If you want a PDF of the list of items, that’s easy. Look for the print and export options under “File” and “Schedule”.

Naturally it would be nice to have a feature … but we can do it quick and dirty like so. What is happening here is the merger of 2 bibles at verse level with something “\<–\>” for visual separation. I made a small script (with example; which works as a command line tool), which can be downloaded an…
