Finding only the common text of different translations

I would like to be able to compare several Bible translations and have the only the common element in all of those translations show, ignoring all differences between them. So let's say I have John 3:16. I would like to see the verse, and only that verse, but showing only the common elements. Not sure if there is a way to do this.

Thanks you.

Well!

- On Logos, 'common' will need a leader, using TextComparison. So, that, definitionally won't generate 'common' (but close)

- Excepting the above, anything not different, will be 'common'. In app.logos.com, it'd be the black text. Only 'common' isn't do-able, but would be confusing anyway. Better to copy, then severely grey the not-common.

- But that said, it's a naive (simple) comparison, since in both english (and hebrew as an example), ordering impacts meaning. And often, translations just like to re-word for re-wording's sake. Or not ... the translator would know.

So.

Thank you. That is not quite what I was looking for, but it comes close. It would be helpful for me to be able to see only common text and nothing else, even if the program spits out words and phrases.

I think that is about as close as you are going to get. I created a text comparison with ESV on top, and another collection of all Bibles for Text comparison. See example. You are not going to get exactly 100% of what you are looking for.
