The following
are commonly used abbreviations (yellow text)
of books of the Bible (white text).
Hence, if you’re looking, on the BibleGateway site,
for a Bible reference,
use the yellow text of the following list.
Five books of the Bible are too short to have chapters.
But the BibleGateway search engine
needs you to add a 1
to the end of the name of those short books
(as if they each had a first chapter).
