How Scripturizer Recognizes Scripture References

1. Scripturizer will recognize Scripture references that conform to somewhat loose conventions:
   • [Book] [Chapter]
   • [Book] [Chapter]:[Verse]
   • [Book] [Chapter]:[Verse]-[verse]
2. Where [Book] can be a full name or an abbreviation, with prefix as applicable. Note that prefixes can be in several formats:
   • 1, 2, 3
   • I, II, II
   • First, Second, Third
   • 1st, 2nd, 3rd
3. Scripturizer will recognize most common book abbreviations.
   • NOTE: All abbreviated references to Judges should include the letter 'g' in order to differentiate between Judges and Jude.
4. Scripturizer can also recognize translation acronyms following Scripture references:
   • [Reference] [Translation]
   • [Reference] ([Translation])
