It might be a painful process for you.  The utilities Victor mentioned 
would only work if the text were in a standard encoding, which it is not.  
They are in Beta encoding, the manual for which can be found here:

You only need the Greek parts, of course.  For the Unicode equivalents, 
you can read the Greek codepoint chart at unicode.org.  I would suggest 
using Perl to convert between the two, unless something else is more 
comfortable.

Alternatives including adding a new encoding to ICU or getting the text 
elswhere, such as Unbound Bible.
