Scripture References

You can add references to biblical scripture in your notes and they will become clickable references. To add a reference following the American System of Biblical References using either the book's full title or an abbreviation.

Use colons between chapter and verse numbers (most Europeans use a different format, putting commas here).
Use commas between verse numbers of the same chapter (and between chapter numbers, but only if no verses are given).
Use semicolons between references that give chapter and verse numbers from different chapters.
Use a single dash between verses to indicate "from-to" within one chapter (or between chapter numbers without verses).
Do not use periods after abbreviated book names, but do put spaces between the abbreviations and chapter numbers.

Example References

My favorite Psalm is Psalm 91

In Philippians 4:6 we are called not to be anxious.

In Phil 4:6 we are called not to be anxious.

In Phil 4:6-8 we are called not to be anxious and if anything is excellent or praiseworthy to think about such things.

God's commandments serve as a template for godly living today. Exodus 20:3-17,22-25

Invalid References

The reference Gen. 1:1 accidentally included a period after the abbreviation.

Inspiration: Breath of God

Where did the Bible come from? The writers of Scripture didn't create myths and fables to promote their own spiritual agendas. Authorship began in the heart of God.
