{{Notice |heading=This template should not be used inline in the body of an article |This template creates an external link, and therefore [[WP:ELBODY|should not be used in the body of an article]]. External links to the Bible should be placed in [[WP:footnotes|footnotes]].}}

This template is used to provide sources for [[Bible citation|Bible verse references]]. When using this template, be aware of the [[WP:RSPSCRIPTURE|prevailing consensus]] on the use of religious texts as sources on Wikipedia.

==Usage==
Code format:
:{{tlc|Bibleverse|''Bible book name''|''c:v–c:v''|''version''|''text''|nobook{{=}}|wlink{{=}}|multi{{=}}}}
Some books have a first, second, or third book that must be specified:
:{{tlc|Bibleverse|''n''|''Bible book name''|''c:v–c:v''|''version''|''text''|nobook{{=}}|wlink{{=}}|multi{{=}}}}
where ''n'' is the numerical value: 1, 2, or 3

;Optional parameters
:This template has four optional parameters:
:*(fourth parameter) - providing a fourth (unnamed) parameter will show specific text instead of the book/chapter information
:*<code>nobook</code> - When set to "yes", will omit the book from the link. {{t|bibleverse-nb}} can also be used for this feature.
:*<code>wlink</code> - When set to "yes", will wikilink the book name. {{t|bibleverse-lb}} can also be used for this feature.
:*<code>multi</code> - When set to "yes", allows for multiple books/chapters to be viewed on [[Bible Gateway|BibleGateway]]. See [[#Examples]] for use cases

;Example for most books: {{tlc|_show_result=yes|Bibleverse|Genesis|1:1|KJV}}

;Books of the Bible with I, II, III: {{tlc|_show_result=yes|Bibleverse|2|Chronicles|4:11-13|wlink=yes}}

* Shorthand can be used for the names, such as '''1 Sam''' or '''Deut'''. See ''[http://hbl.gcc.libguides.com/BibleAbbrevChicago The Chicago Manual of Style]'' for other acceptable abbreviations.
* Verse references may be simplified (for example, no range or entire chapter).

==Examples==
{|class="wikitable"
|Default, link to NRSV||{{tlc|_show_result=yes|Bibleverse|Genesis|1:15–16}}
|-
|Link to KJV (Wikisource)||{{tlc|_show_result=yes|Bibleverse|Genesis|1:15–16|KJV}}
|-
|Omitting the book||{{tlc|_show_result=yes|Bibleverse|Genesis|1:15–16|nobook{{=}}yes}}

|-
|Wikilinking the book||{{tlc|_show_result=yes|Bibleverse|Genesis|1:15–16|wlink{{=}}yes}}
|-

|}

Note in the above that when {{para|multi|yes}}, the entire search term is in the first parameter.

==List of versions==
The following table holds a list of available Bible versions and the external sites used by the template to link them. If no version is supplied, the default source is the [[New Revised Standard Version]] on the [https://bible.oremus.org/ oremus bible browser] ''unless'' {{para|multi|yes}}, in which case the version will be provided by [[Bible Gateway|BibleGateway]] based on the best match to its search function. Versions not on this list can be used, which will use BibleGateway's repository. The version codes of the versions provided by BibleGateway are listed in [[Template:Bibleverse/List of BibleGateway versions]], sorted by language.
