In the beginning, when God created the universe, the earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the Spirit of God was moving over the water. Then God commanded, "Let there be light"-and light appeared.
For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. | |
Test on a minimalist usage
This test is to see what gets displayed when almost none of the infobox is filled in. The idea here is that all the compulsory fields should be displayed, and all the optional fields should not be displayed

|---|---|
{{{genesis_1:1-3}}}
{{{john_3:16}}} |
Test of the infobox on a fictitious translation:
This test is simply to try out ALL of the fields without worrying about factual accuracy (note that it has both "published", "NT_published", and "OT_published", where "published" is for translations which did not publish OT and NT separately).
