You could do following: 1) create a sheet in your favourite spreadsheet.
2) add the output of diatheke with a KJV module into it, so that column 1 has teh references, column 2 the text. You do this by importing the diatheke output as CSV and choose your delimiting character carefully. 3) You drop the text column. 4) You add your text as a column 5) you run up and down the text to ensure that the text is correctly lined up. 6) You export as a CSV file, choosing a decent delimiter again - e.g. a colon. 7) You rename the csv file into a text file (this is optional) Then you run a version of the sed script Karl gave you. All of the above could be done a lot faster and with less effort via a few lines of Perl, but I guess the recommendations above are at the level you are comfortable to work at.
