Differences from Template bibleref
Similar to {{Bibleref}} with three main differences:
- This template always defaults to NIV if translation_abbr is left blank.
- It always produces a link to biblegateway.com
- 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.
