Short URLs for threeforms.org and ESV Bible passages
URCNA’s threeforms.org website includes the full text of the Ecumenical Creeds and the Reformed Confessions, also known as the Three Forms of Unity.
3forms.org (with the numeral ‘3’) allows you to link to
specific parts of threeforms.org using short URLs, which can be useful when you need to include
a link in printed material like a church bulletin or handout. For example, instead of
threeforms.org/heidelberg-catechism/#question-18
you can print
3forms.org/h18. More examples below.
You can provide short links to ESV
Bible passages as well, currently using Bible Gateway.
For example, instead of biblegateway.com/passage/?search=jn3:16&version=ESV
you can print 3forms.org/esv/jn3:16.
(Bible Gateway is flexible in how its URLs handle formatting for Bible passages; 3forms.org supports any format
that Bible Gateway supports.)
Note: 3forms.org is not affiliated with threeforms.org or Bible Gateway
