  • How To Link To The NET Bible

    Posted on September 18th, 2002 Resources & Reviews No comments

    As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been going crazy trying to figure out how to link directly to a verse in the NET Bible.

    Their webmaster finally sent me an email explaining how to do it!

    Here’s what you wanted:
    The link goes to John 3:16

    http://www.bible.org/cgi-bin/netbible.pl?book=joh&chapter=3&verse=16

    You’ll note that the way our perl script is formatted, no one can take a verse out of context. That is, when you want a specific verse from the NET Bible, you’ll get the paragraph in which that verse occurs. (Paragraph breaks are sort of arbitrary, but at least it’s a help to the context.) The only other thing you need is a list of our abbreviations. Format: they are all first three letters (gen, deu, 1ch, 2sa, mat)

    With following exceptions:
      Judges: jdg
      Philemon: phm
      Philippians: phi
    .

    Cool! This will be useful whenever I have a little time to reply to some of Nota Bene and Integrity Blog’s thoughts.
