Does it violate copyright to paste Bible verses from Logos NABRE to social media pages as long as the chapter, verse and source is identified in the paste?
If the copyright does not allow under what auspices can it be done, if at all?
There is some guidance on this here - does this give you what you need?
I would assume that the Bible publishers would hold copyright to their versions.
As long as you're posting single Bible versions or a couple verses at a time as Bible artwork for a ministry page on social media, it should be OK (same way people do it with the ESV, NASB, etc), especially if it's the preferred Bible of your church/ministry.
If you're trying to export the entire Bible on your church's website outside of Logos to give people access to the entire Bible for free, that would be a problem, but it doesn't sound like that's what you're wanting to do.
Maybe a bit of nuance to Nathan's post: many bible publishers allow quoting of verses in what would be considered normal church context, however, the individual rules set up for this are different from publisher to publisher. One reason the ESV is quoted so much in protestant contexts on the web is that the publisher wisely put a much more lenient usage policy than other publishers - and the creation of NET was argued for (among other reasons) with the need for a bible which allows more freely for such usage. The respective page of the NABRE rights holders, i.e. the USCCB https://www.usccb.org/offices/new-american-bible/permissions#:~:text=The%20copyright%20for%20the%20New%20American%20Bible%2C,of%20a%20single%20book%20of%20the%20Bible strikes me as very complex and from a quick read over I wouldn't feel free to say "it's okay, go for it" or "no way, forget about it" - it may be the prudent idea to ask them.
Graham Criddle's recommendation helped.
I issued a email to permissions@faithlife.com for my particular situation and the response was that I am permitted to "to paste bible verses from Logos, NABRE to social media pages as long as the chapter, verse and source is identified in the paste".
The key issues are; I am a subscriber, it is for personal use, it is for non-commercial use.
Thank you for all who responded, I appreciate your time and effort.
I recommend that if anyone has a question about a particular situation on this matter that they email

I am creating a personal Bible using the Personal Book Builder (PBB).

My Mac is running low on disk space, and it looks like the Library/Application Support/Logos4 folder is taking 20GB in /Data and 15GB in /Documents. I'm guessing that one of those is my library and the other is my notes and highlights. Is there a way to see the size of all the things in my library so I can get rid of those…
