People who have done work on Biblical corpora for language engineering
purposes and who would be best qualified to answer your question are:


Mark Olsen, ARTFL Project, University of Chicago
mark at gide.uchicago.edu
http://estragon.uchicago.edu/Bibles/

Please note that on the ARTFL project site indicated above, there is the
following statement:
"The Humanities Text Initative no longer distributes the the SGML version of
the Luther Bible, on request of the copyright holder."

This implies that someone has already developed a DTD. Hopefully Mark Olsen
can be of assistance.
