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 know that hermeneutics is interpretation of God's Word, but what am I missing? Am I missing anything? The best interpretation of the Bible comes from the Holy Spirit revealing the hidden meanings.

As I have mentioned on a few threads, I find the auto-select (on the desktop version) to be really frustrating since when I am just trying to select a word to either copy it or highlight it, it randomly opens in a new column, distorting the width the column I had open, and / or selects the entire paragraph when I am trying…
Hi, I am learning Greek and I find it difficult to read my types Greek vs the Greek in my resource because they are of a different font. φ can come out differently. How can I make the font match so that when I type Greek, it comes out with the same font? I use Keyman to type Greek. The font in Notes says "Default: Source…
when opening the mobile app for the first time I get a splash screen asking me to choose my Bible and to sign in. if I choose the Bible first and then sign in, the preferred Bible setting on the app is replaced by what I had previously set on the account. Is this expected behaviour? thanks, Graham
I am glad that it is in production. But now I am wondering on the timetable of "in Production" entail to get it done. My guess it should take again awhile to do this with this book, unless it has been already started. Which it should of been done, considering the first three volumes are done. Please tell the eta of this is…
