* World English Version (WEB)
 
==Displaying a Bible verse==
Any verse can be displayed on any page as can be seen from the following examples:
: Typing in '''<nowiki>''{{Bible verse|Matthew|6|9|lang=Latin}}''</nowiki>''' displays the following: ''{{Bible verse|Matthew|6|9|lang=Latin}}''
: Typing in '''<nowiki>''{{Bible verse|2 Timothy|3|16|lang=KJV}}''</nowiki>''' displays the following: ''{{Bible verse|2 Timothy|3|16|lang=KJV}}'' ==Books, Chapters and Verses== Each book of the Bible has a dedicated information article, for example [[Genesis]] and [[Book of Revelation]]. A list of the books of the Bible can be found at the [[Bible]] page. Each chapter of each book of the Bible has a dedicated information article, for example [[Genesis 1]] and [[Matthew 16]]. Many of these articles are empty stubs needing information about the content of the chapter, textual variants and different interpretations of theological themes.  Each verse of each chapter has a dedicated information article, for example [[Genesis 1:1]] and [[John 11:35]]. Most of these articles are empty stubs at the moment needing information about the meaning / interpretations of the verse. ==Name-spaces== Book and chapter information articles are in the '''Main''' name-space. Thus when searching for a random page you may be directed to an article about a book or chapter. Verses are in the '''Bible''' name-space. Thus when searching for a random page you will not be directed to a verse. Instead you can click on "Random verse" to be directed to a random verse. Each verse does have a redirect page in the '''main''' name-space, for example [[John 3:16]] redirects to [[Bible:John 3:16]]. The actual text of each verse is stored in the appropriate version name-space. These name-spaces include '''KJV''', '''WEB''', '''Greek''', '''Hebrew''' and '''Latin'''. Thus, for example, the King James Version text of [[John 1:1]] is stored in the page [[KJV:John 1:1]]. ==Canon== We recognize that different denominations do not have identical versions of the Bible. Protestant churches recognize only 66 books to represent the whole Bible. Roman Catholicism has a number of additional books, and Eastern Orthodoxy has a number of additional books again. At a bare minimum however all denominations agree on at least the 66 books recognized by Protestant denominations and thus we have made the decision to accept these books in the '''Bible''' name-space. The other books, which are sometimes known as apocryphal works, exist in the '''Text''' name-space because of their disputed canonicity.
