Bob Kuo Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hello, I think it'd be useful if when we copy a selection of non-contiguous Scripture as citation (e.g. John 1:14,18) the citation should contain an ellipsis at the appropriate place. So with John 1:14, 18 in the ESV it would read: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.... No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side,he has made him known." Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 The SBL Manual of Style dictates that ellipsis should have a space before and after, as well as intervening spaces. Thus, " . . . " is proper style and "..." is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
