Usage

This template is used to provide sources for Bible verse references.

This template creates an external link. The external links content guideline states that "external links should not normally be used in the body of an article". Place external links to the Bible in parenthetical citations or footnotes, but be aware that the Bible may be considered a primary source, which should be used with care in sourcing Wikipedia articles.

Code format:

{{Bibleverse|Bible book name|c:v–c:v|version}}
Example
{{Bibleverse|Genesis|1:1|KJV}} yields: Genesis 1:1
  • Shorthand can be used for the names, such as 1 Sam or Deut. See the Chicago Manual of Style for other acceptable abbreviations.
  • Verse references may be simplified (for example, no range or entire chapter).

List of versions

The following is a partial list of available Bible versions and the external sites used by the template to link them. The default version is the New Revised Standard Version because it is most commonly preferred by biblical scholars:[1]

Code Version External site Example usage
ESV English Standard Version ESV.org John 3:16
HE Hebrew-English—parallel MT and JPS 1917 Mechon Mamre Genesis 1:1
KJV King James Version Wikisource John 3:16
NIV New International Version Biblica John 3:16
NRSV New Revised Standard Version Oremus John 3:16
NRSVAE New Revised Standard Version, Anglicized Edition Oremus John 3:16
NKJV New King James Version Bible Gateway Matthew 18:21–22

Alternative version

An alternative version of this template is available that does not include the book name: Template:Bibleverse-nb. It can be used to create lists of verses, e.g. [[Book of Exodus|Exodus]] {{Bibleverse-nb||Exodus|1:2–3|HE}}; {{Bibleverse-nb||Exodus|13:10|HE}} produces: Exodus 1:2–3; 13:10
