	Documentation for Template:R:New International Version. [edit]
	This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

This template may be used in “References” sections and on talk pages to provide a citation to the New International Version of the Bible (2011). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the BibleGateway website.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |book= – mandatory: the name of the book of the Bible quoted – see the table below for the full list.
• |2= or |chapter= – mandatory: the chapter of the book quoted in uppercase Roman numerals, following the work.
• |3=, |verse=, or |verses= – mandatory: the verse(s) of the chapter quoted in Arabic numerals, following the work. If quoting a range of verses, separate the verse numbers with an en dash, like this: |verses=10–11.
• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted.
• |nodot= – by default, the template adds a full stop (period) at the end of the citation. To suppress this punctuation, use |nodot=1 or |nodot=yes.
