LINK TO TEXT AS AN ALTERNATIVE

One alternative to posting NIV Bible text on your web site is to link to the text on the www.BibleGateway.com site. There are several ways you could do this:

Go to the www.BibleGateway.com site and search for your passage. Copy the resulting URL and paste it into your site in the appropriate place.
If you are using a WordPress blog on your site, install the Scripturizer "plug-in" which recognizes Bible references in any text you add to the blog and automatically links the reference to www.BibleGateway.com.
Embed a www.BibleGateway.com lookup box or the Verse of the Day RSS feed on your web site. Instructions can be found on Bible Gateway's Use on Your Website page.
