The {{Bible quote}} template creates a grey box that is the preferred format for quoting scripture. The template also incorporates the Bible ref template for linking the scripture reference to BibleGateway.
To use, specify the following parameters (only book and chapter are required; the others have defaults).
Example: {{Bible quote|place quote here|book=Matthew|chap=1|verses=1-18|version=ASV}}
- language = English.
- book = the book of the Bible. Required.
- chap = the number of the chapter. Required.
- verses = one verse or a range of verses. Default is the entire chapter.
- version = the version you want the quote in. Default is NIV--but if it is not specified, it will not be specifically mentioned. If you are quoting explicitly from any given version of the Bible, including the NIV, please so specify explicitly.
Note: this template does not "substitute" well. It tends to leave the "if" statements in place.
Also note that books which have multiple volumes (such as I & II Corintians) must be specified with no space between the book number and book name (i.e. ICorinthians and 1Corinthians both work, but (I Corinthians) does not.)
This template supports the Douay-Rheims English-language Catholic Bible, with its seven deuterocanonical books. If you specify Tobit, Judith, 1_Maccabees, 2_Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach, or Baruch as the "book" parameter, the template will call upon the Douay-Rheims and will ignore any version specification. The version code for the Douay-Rheims is DRA.
