Template:Bibleref

This template is shorthand for Template:Bibleverse, and may be easier to use when there is no book number.

Usage

Code format: {{Bibleref|BOOKNAME|c:v–c:v|SOURCE}}

This template links offsite.

Example

{{Bibleref|John|3:16|KJV}} yields: John 3:16

Detail

This template is used to provide links to Bible verses.

• DO NOT put any spaces anywhere in the template.
• You can use shorthand for the names, such as Sam or Deut.
• Books with a number must be written without a space, e.g. 2John. This doesn't look great, so it is better to use the slightly longer Template:Bibleverse when quoting such books.
• Verse references may be simplified (for example, no range for just one verse, or entire chapter).
• SOURCE is an optional parameter, to specify a translation. It is normally better to include one, e.g. KJV or NIV, otherwise the link goes to a long list of alternatives. See Template:Bibleverse for more available codes.

Examples

• Example1: {{Bibleref|1Samuel|3:16-4:18|NIV}} produces a link to:  1Samuel 3:16-4:18
• Example2: {{Bibleref|Genesis|1:15-16|HE}} produces:  Genesis 1:15-16
