print(biblehub_query.lexicons) # Text, Hebrew words, translit, strong, and English defintions
print(biblehub_query.crfs) # Cross References
print(biblehub_query.tos) # Treasury of Scripture
print(biblehub_query.info) # Prints all the info queried on the verse. Also the same as the __str__

there are also biblehub_query.format_[field] method that returns the specified field in an easy to read way.
