The quotes don't need to be whole verses. You can't copyright individual
words, but a concordance contains every word (or at least far beyond fair
use coverage). Whether they explicitly state the context or not (by
quoting the whole verse, e.g.) context is easily reconstructed.

Joel,
I currently have a concordance (for PalmOS) of the NIV available for
download. My investigation of the copyright laws have led me to believe that
