This template sets up the external link to BibleGateway for providing a chapter or chapter and verse reference for any passage in the Bible, in any version in any language.
Example: {{Bible ref|book=1Corinthians|chap=1|verses=1-18|version=ASV}}
NOTE A: 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.)
NOTE B: If the version is not supplied, the link will be to the NIV, but the version will not show. To show that the link is to the NIV, supply NIV to the version parameter.
Note: this template does not "substitute" well. It tends to leave the "if" statements in place.
Alternative:
For framed quotes, use {{Bible quote}}.
