A citation from the Bible is usually referenced with the book name, chapter number and verse number. Sometimes, the name of the Bible translation is also included. There are several formats for doing so. For example, The Book of Genesis, chapter 3, verse 5, of The Living Bible (TLB) would be cited as: ''Genesis 3:5, TLB'' : "God knows very well that the instant you eat it you shall become as he is..." ==Common formats== A common format for biblical citations is ''Book chapter:verses'', using a colon to delimit chapter from verse, as in: : "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth" (''Gen. 1:1''). Or, stated more formally,〔Five books have a single chapter: Obadiah, Philemon, 2 & 3 John, Jude. In many printed editions, the chapter number is omitted for these books, and references just use the verse numbers.〕 :''Book chapter'' for a chapter (''John 3''); :''Book chapter1–chapter2'' for a range of chapters (''John 1–3''); :''book chapter:verse'' for a single verse (''John 3:16''); :''book chapter:verse1–verse2'' for a range of verses (''John 3:16–17''); :''book chapter:verse1,verse2'' for multiple disjoint verses (''John 6:14, 44''). The range delimiter is an en-dash, and there are no spaces on either side of it.〔 This format is the one accepted by the Chicago Manual of Style and is also the format used by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to cite scriptural standard works. The MLA style is similar, but replaces the colon with a period. Citations in the APA style add the translation/version of the Bible after the verse. For example, (''John 3:16, New International Version''). Translation/version names should not be abbreviated (e.g., write out King James Version instead of using KJV). Subsequent citations do not require the translation/version unless that changes. In APA style, the Bible is not listed in the references at the end of the document. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bible citation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
