76 TAŞNİF STYLE GUIDE written in roman script (not italics type), followed by the chapter and verse numbers: Matthew 7:15. For paraphrased quotes, other words are used that should avoid the use of quotation marks. This is important to distinguish for readers that is not an exact quote from a sourced reference. Take the example modified from the previous biblical reference: " The Bible reports that Jesus as warned his followers, saying that they should beware of false prophets who pretend to be innocent like sheep, but are actually mischievous like bloodthirsty wolves. We prefer to quote from the King James Version (KJV), but if another version is cited, should be properly referenced. When referencing from the books of the Bible, abbreviations may be used. Please see Appendix C, Books of the Bible, page 185 for a list of these abbreviations. ISLAMIC REFERENCES For all works that quote the Holy Quran, Hadith, or works of the Promised Messiah as, the references should be verified for validity and accuracy. If there is a conflict between the original reference and the reference found, please consult Additional Wakālat-e- Tasnif for guidance on how to proceed. Give the reference exactly as it appears in the original work.
