We use a wiki extension for quoting scripture. It provides the following benefits:
- It standardizes the scripture references (because the translations are stored in a database)
- It makes inserting scripture references more convenient for contributors.
- It allows users to choose their preferred translation [to be implemented soon].
- It makes rendering the wiki into other languages easier and more consistent.
Basic use
So, if you want to quote a scripture passage, you simply write:
<translate>As Jesus said, {{#scripture: Matthew 5:17}}</translate>
which outputs:
As Jesus said, 17 “Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill. Matthew 5:17WEB
Adding the scripture reference
If you want the reference listed, you can write:
<translate>As Jesus said, {{#scripture: Matthew 5:17|scriptrefstyle=paren}}</translate>
which outputs:
As Jesus said, 17 “Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill. Matthew 5:17WEB
Hiding the verse numbers
If you want to hide the verse numbers, use the following:
<translate>As Jesus said, {{#scripture: Matthew 5:17|vsnumstyle=hidevsnum|scriptrefstyle=paren}}</translate>
which outputs:
As Jesus said, “Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill. Matthew 5:17WEB
Selecting a specific translation/version
If you want a specific version (perhaps because the wording is more accurate?), use the following:
<translate>As Jesus said, {{#scripture: Matthew 5:17|vsnumstyle=hidevsnum|scriptrefstyle=paren|ver=KJV}}</translate>
which outputs:
As Jesus said, Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.Matthew 5:17KJV
