The plugin provides a widget which you can place into one of the widget areas provided by your theme (in the WordPress admin area: Appearance | Widgets).
The widget configuration retrieves the list of available Bible editions of the current year remotely from https://bible2.net and lets you select one Bible edition. On each day, the widget retrieves the two verses for the day from bible2.net and displays them.
