My guess is that you do not need the address or bible version to recognize this quote is John 3:16 KJV. Even those who do not read the bible have seen this enough times to know the quote. I have seen fans at football games holding up sings with just the reference John 3:16.
Yesterday I intentionally gave quotes without the attached addresses. According to charlesasullivan.com the Old Testament scrolls did not contain references to chapters and verses. Our modern day bibles do contain those helpful quotation locations.
