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

This template creates an external link. The external links content guideline states that "external links should not normally be used in the body of an article". Consider placing external links to the Bible in parenthetical citations or footnotes, but be aware that the Bible may be considered a primary source.


 * Shorthand can be used for the names, such as 1 Sam or Deut. See the Chicago Manual of Style for other acceptable abbreviations.
 * Verse references may be simplified (for example, no range or entire chapter).

List of sources
A list of sources and codes that may be used to trigger them is at [//tools.wmflabs.org/bibleversefinder2/#srcref Bible Verse Finder].

Omitting the source tag should lead to a page containing a list of different versions for the reader to choose from. Unfortunately, the external tool that provides this service is currently broken and its maintainer is inactive. Until this is fixed, you should choose a source in order to make references usable.

Use either letter abbreviations in caps or the numerical value. Here is a sample list (this list is subject to change, please check link above):
