Study Tip: All bible quizzing is done in the NIV's 1984 edition. A new edition was released in 2011 which makes minor (but significant) changes to the text, which our reference and finish-the-verse questions will not support. (If you got a scripture portion from the coaches, it is the 1984 version.) If you should answer a finish-the-verse word-perfect from the 2011 version, it is wrong if it doesn't match the 1984 version. If you have any doubts or questions, please contact the coaches.
