Code format:

:<span style="color:red;">(</span><code>{{Bibleverse|BOOK#|BOOKNAME|c:v–c:v|SOURCE}}</code><span style="color:red;">)</span>
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).

Note the empty parameter || before "John" in the above examples. This is to handle the first parameter, "BOOK#", which is only necessary for numbered books (e.g., 2 Corinthians, 1 Samuel).

Detail

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

  • DO NOT put any spaces anywhere in the template.
  • You can use shorthand for the names, such as Sam or Deut.
  • Verse references may be simplified (for example, no range or entire chapter).
  • If there is only one book, leave the BOOK# parameter blank.

A list of sources and codes that may be used to trigger them is at http://bibref.hebtools.com#srcref

Here is a sample list (this list is subject to change, please check link above):

Code Translation
(do not include or, just number or text)
1000 Show user all options
31 or NIV New International Version (BibleGateway)
49 or NASB New American Standard Bible (BibleGateway)
9 or KJV King James Version (BibleGateway)
105 or HE Hebrew-English - parallel MT and JPS 1917 (Mechon Mamre)
65 or TM The Message (BibleGateway)

An alternative which works, but may result in a double spacing, is:

{{Bibleverse|BOOKNAME|BOOK#|c:v-c:v|SOURCE_CODE}} .

Note, though, that if no book number is relevant, the blank argument must be there, e.g. {{Bibleverse|Genesis||1:15-16|HE}}

produces: Genesis  1:15-16 (compare the spacing in the example below).

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
  • Example1: {{Bibleverse|1|Samuel|3:16-4:18|31}} produces a link to the NIV translation (31 in the source list as linked below): 1 Samuel 3:16-4:18
  • Example2: {{Bibleverse||Genesis|1:15-16|HE}} produces: Genesis 1:15-16


A template to generate a link to the various Bible editions at www.biblegateway.com. This template will create a link with the name of the book and specified chapter and verse, or range of chapters and verses, or just an entire chapter. Use Bibleverse-nb to create a link without the book name in the anchor text of the link.
