Template:Bibleverse
Usage
Code format:
{{Bibleverse|BOOK#|BOOKNAME|c:v–c:v|SOURCE}}
- This template links offsite.
- Example
{{Bibleverse||John|3:16|KJV}}yields:[2]
In text, with parentheses, this looks like this ([3]).
Note the empty parameter || before "John" in the above examples. This is to handle the first parameter, "BOOK#", which is not usually necessary, and cumbersome to look up.
- Detail
This template is used to provide sources for Bible verse references. See the Wikipedia 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 that part blank.

Alternative usage
An alternative is also sometimes used: {{Bibleverse|BOOKNAME|BOOK#|c:v-c:v|SOURCE_CODE}} . Note, though, that if no book number is relevant, the blank argument must be there (see Genesis 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, eg. {{Bibleverse||Exodus|1:2-3|HE}}; {{Bibleverse-nb||Exodus|13:10|HE}}
Examples
- Example1: {{Bibleverse|1|Samuel|3:16-4:18|31}} produces a link to the NIV translation (31 in the source list as linked below): [5]
- Example2: {{Bibleverse||Genesis|1:15-16|HE}} produces: [6]
