Talk:Phillips New Testament in Modern English

[Untitled]
There has been an objection by Fram to the posting of a verse from a copyrighted translation, especially since the verse was not explicitly commented on in the article. It is common practice in writing about Bible translations (in a variety of outlets, not just Wikipedia) to quote a standard passage so that readers can compare the work under discussion with the work of others. Though Fram is probably technically correct, I vote for leaving it since it is by itself an important piece of information. Pete unseth (talk) 21:30, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Short passages are always allowed under fair use doctrine, including on Wikipedia. The question would be how long can short be. Im sure john 3:16 (which is currently quoted) is short enough. Fram is technically incorrect, unless the passage is unambiguously long.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:24, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
