Get UB Paragraphs for a Bible Verse
Returns the top 10 Urantia paragraphs whose embeddings are nearest to the Bible chunk containing this verse — the reverse of ?include=bibleParallels on the UB side. Pre-computed at seed time using text-embedding-3-large (3072-d) cosine similarity across the entire UB corpus. Each result includes a similarity score (0..1) and rank (1..10).
These are semantic parallels, not curated. Some matches will be subtly wrong — the embedding model treats surface-level vocabulary as meaning, but the UB uses standard religious terms in nonstandard ways. Treat results as starting points for further reading, not as authoritative parallels.
