*Note: Some websites and religious publishers use very short abbreviations, consisting of only 1 or 2 letters, which sometimes causes confusion. For example:
Thus, it is best generally to use abbreviations of at least three or four letters. The above table first, and in bold type, lists the abbreviations preferred by the Society of Biblical Literature (see http://www.sbl-site.org/assets/pdfs/SBLHS.pdf), followed by abbreviations sometimes used by other publishers and authors.
