*'''BOOKNAME:''' You can use full name or standard abbreviation for the name of the Bible book, such as '''Mark''', '''1Jn''', '''2Tim''', '''2Sam.''' or '''Deut.''' Periods are optional.

! Result

*'''c:v-c:v''' Chapter, Chapter:Verse, Chapter:Verses, Chapter-Chapter, Chapter:Verse-Chapter:Verse

| <code><nowiki>{{bibleref2|John|3:16|NASB}}</nowiki></code>
 
+
| {{bibleref2|John|3:16|NASB}}
**'''Legal examples:''' 3 3:16 3:16-18 3:16-4:18 3:16-18,4:2
+
|-
 
+
| <code><nowiki>{{bibleref2|2 Pet. 1:21}}</nowiki></code>
**You may omit the verses and list only a chapter, like '''|John|1|'''
+
| {{bibleref2|2 Pet. 1:21}}
 
+
|-
**The only required parameters are the |Book| and at least |chapter|
+
| <code><nowiki>{{bibleref2|Gen|1:1|KJV|Creation}}</nowiki></code>
 
+
| {{bibleref2|Gen|1:1|KJV|Creation}}
*The '''Optional_ Bible_Version'' parameter are those abbreviations listed at http://www.biblegateway.com/versions/. The present default is biblegateway's default. Please notice that many foreign language versions are available.

*The '''Optional_Display''' can be any text you want to appear at the end. For example, {{Bibleref2|2Tim|2:15||2 Timothy 2:15}} will display 2 Timothy 2:15 instead of 2Tim 2:15. You also could add an abbreviation in front of Optional_Display parameter. For instance, {{Bibleref2|2Tim|2:15||cf. 2 Timothy 2:15}}

Differences from Template bibleref

Similar to {{Bibleref}} with three main differences:

  1. It always produces a link to biblegateway.com
  2. It allows a display reference as the fourth parameter. When the 4th parameter has contents, they will be all that is displayed. Otherwise, the Book-Chapter-Verse range of the 2nd parameter will print exactly as it is entered.
