How To Link To The NET Bible

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.
