There are two ways to look-up a Bible passage with this tool. The first way is to enter the reference into the form and click on 'Look it up'. The second method is to click on the name of the book and then the name of the chapter.
How to format a Bible reference
This program uses the following format. Book chapter:verse
ex. Genesis 3:15
Both the chapter and verse are optional and so it is possible to simply type in Genesis or to simply type in Genesis 15.
The program also accepts abbreviations of the book names and partial spellings of the book names, so Genes, Gene, Gen, Ge will all give Genesis. The following is a list of book names and abbreviations
