The text of BCF Help it that commonly called The 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith. This text is a somewhat edited form of the original text which was actaully published in 1677. For a program that contains the original text of the 1677/89 confession see The BCF Assistant. As far as I know, both the text of the KJV Bible and The 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith are in the public domain (not copyrighted). Any copyright claimed here does not extend to these texts, only to the form and organisation in which they are found in BCF Help.

In BCF Help you can go to a chapter of the Confession by clicking on the highlighted chapter title in the opening window. Chapter 4 has been selected above. The Scripture references, both in the text and at the end of each paragraph are hyperlinked, hence, the Scripture text can be accessed by clicking on the desired highlighted citation. This will bring the text of Scripture up in a second (left) window entitled Holy Scripture (KJV).
