Currently, I only know of two kinds of (chapter: verse) Bible reference type codes within the “Copy Bible Verse” customization Tool.
Those two global formatting codes are the follow:
[FullPassageRef] = (Full book name: verse number)
[ShortPassageRef] = (Abbreviated book name: verse number)
*My problem is that I don’t want the kind of “Abbreviated” style that comes from this [ShortPassageRef] code which often produces only a two letter abbreviation like “Ge” for Genesis or “Da” for Daniel.
My question is that I am looking for a code that will copy and paste a short passage reference form with the Common abbreviations for books of the Bible – “MLA Style” like the following:
