I'm a pastor with a question about Hyphens and numbers.  In writing a Bible reference with just two verses would you say James 2:1, 2 or James 2:1-2?


Of course with a longer reference I'm sure it is James 2:1-3.  But what about only two verses?


Thanks so much!

I would say this to make it clear that it is one continuous text to be referred to:  James 2:1-2
