ESV.to

Using ESV.to couldn't be easier.

Just add a scripture reference to the end of the http://esv.to URL, like this: http://esv.to/Mt+5.

We're very flexible with whatever reference format you like to use, but to make sure the link will work on services like Twitter and Facebook, follow these simple rules:

Use + instead of a space:
http://esv.to/Matthew+5
http://esv.to/1+John+1

Or, omit the space altogether:
http://esv.to/Matthew5
http://esv.to/1John1

Use . (a period) instead of : (a colon):
http://esv.to/Matthew+5.5

Use , (a comma) instead of ; (a semicolon):
http://esv.to/Matthew+5, Romans+2

Use common abbreviations of book titles:
http://esv.to/Mat+5 or
http://esv.to/Mt+5

Keyword searches work as well:
http://esv.to/love

Use - (a dash) for a passage
http://esv.to/Matthew5.1-11
