We use a wiki extension for quoting scripture. It provides the following benefits:

  1. It standardizes the scripture references (because the translations are stored in a database)
  2. It makes inserting scripture references more convenient for contributors.
  3. It allows users to choose their preferred translation [to be implemented soon].
  4. 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:

As Jesus said, {{#scripture: Matthew 5:17}}

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:

As Jesus said, {{#scripture: Matthew 5:17|scriptrefstyle=paren}}

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:

As Jesus said, {{#scripture: Matthew 5:17|vsnumstyle=hidevsnum|scriptrefstyle=paren}}

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

Selecting a specific translation/version

If you want a specific version (perhaps because the wording is more accurate?), use the following:

As Jesus said, {{#scripture: Matthew 5:17|vsnumstyle=hidevsnum|scriptrefstyle=paren|ver=KJV}}

which outputs:

As Jesus said, 17 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
