Bible Verse Footnote

public workflow

Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the workflow!

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: This workflow allows a selected Bible reference to be looked up in the English Standard Version, through Crossway's API, and returned as a markdown footnote.

See related workflow for a blockquote format at http://www.editorial-workflows.com/workflow/6398031989571584/a3n-NNsLNc0

Footnote workflow modified from Federico Viticci's "New Footnote" Workflow.
