Abbreviations

This is my system of abbreviating books of the Bible.  Abbreviation of the book (see table below), then chapter and verse.  I do not use spaces.  When I refer to the quotation, then I also include abbreviation of the version.  For example: 1S25:9; Jd8-15; 1Co12:3,8-10nkjv;

When I refer to the quotation, then I also include abbreviation of the version.  For example: nkjv for New King James Version or nasb for New American Standard Bible.
