userinput in line looks for the input string as a substring anywhere in the line, it doesn't check for word boundaries.

Since the verse information is always the first word of the line, split the line and check if the first element is equal to the input.

userinput = input("Enter Book, Chapter, Verse:")
with open("kjv.txt") as file:
    for line in file:
        words = line.split()
        if len(words) > 0 and userinput == words[0]:
            print(line)
            break
