Usage

Code format:

({{Bibleverse|BOOK|c:v–c:v|SOURCE}})
Note parentheses: (See WP:EL). Inline external links (this template links offsite) must be separated from the article text by parentheses. (Parentheses are deliberately not included in this template to allow for flexible usage.)
Example
{{Bibleverse|John|3:16|KJV}} yields: John 3:16

In text, with parentheses, this looks like this (John 3:16).

Detail

This template is used to provide sources for Bible verse references. See the talk page for more usages, examples and source codes.

  • Verse references may be simplified (for example, no range or entire chapter).
