The '''<nowiki>{{Bible ref}}</nowiki>''' template sets up an external link to [http://www.biblegateway.com/ BibleGateway] for providing a chapter and verse reference for any book of the Bible, in any version in any language. Use it without a verse parameter to quote entire chapters. For framed quotes, use Bible verses in the [[template:Bible quote|Bible quote template]].

To use, specify the following parameters (only book and chapter are required; the others have defaults).

'''Example: <nowiki>{{Bible ref|book=Matthew|chap=1|verses=1-18|version=ASV}}</nowiki>'''

* language = the language you want the quote in. Default is 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 KJV--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 KJV, please so specify explicitly. (KJV is in the public domain in the [[United States of America]].)

Note: this template does ''not'' "substitute" well. It tends to leave the "if" statements in place.
