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

In my Pre-Pub orders, almost ALL show as In Production, but have not been downloaded or completed. Some of these date back to 2024.In addition the dates seem to keep getting pushed back for release on several. Anyone else have some like these? I am wondering if I should just cancel them.
After reading Philippians 1:1, I was curious to find out how many times δοῦλος was used appositionally in the New Testament. I did the Syntax Search seen in the image but there are results missing such as James 1:1. How do I construct a better syntax query to get every instance to show up in my search.
I know I can send someone the docx file of a personal book I have created, so they can build it as a personal book. Is there a way I can send someone the compiled personal book, without requiring them to build the book? Alternatively, is there a way to create a group that would have access to the personal book? I would…
I want to open volume one of The Works of John Owen. I click on the Logos logo and type "Owen Works 1," but the only options provided are volumes that begin with 1, such as 13 or 11. See screenshot below. Is anyone else having an issue like this? Does anyone know a work-around? I can get to the work in my library, and I do…
I am reviewing some highlights in Bonhoeffer's Life Together, DBWE 5 that were taken 7 years ago. The book has two reference systems. One is ordinary page numbers. The other references page numbers in the actual Bonhoeffer text beginning with DBW 5:1. So, for example, page 27 is also referenced as DBW 5:15. In notes and…
