I want to quote bible in short story. Are there any copyright problems here? Publisher? It will list chapter, verse.?

Publisher's copyright expire after seen years. And God's Word is meant to be shared, in spoken word, in written word, and in sound bytes.

Many translations of the Bible ARE copyrighted and are NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN. The King James Version is of course public domain, but more recent versions may very well be subject to copyright. Check the front pages of the edition you're using.

Copyright on the Bible expired some time ago. Quote away.

It should be public domain.

There is no copyright on the Bible. It's far too old and no translator intends to make a profit from it. You can check with the publisher of the translation you are quoting (address on reverse side of the title page, and then check the internet to be sure it's up to date)

There is no copyright regarding the bible, you can quote what you like from it.

It's been public domain since the invention of the copyright.

Master Debater

Public domain beside some parts of the Bible was taken directly from other stories, from Sumerian Text to name one culture, the Assyrians and the Babylonians plagiarized the Sumerian accounts almost word for word, so should it bother us that Moses did the same?

I think you're probably joking but, in case you aren't: there's no copyright on the Bible.

One of my favorite webcomic artists did just that. "The Holy Bible: Abridged Beyond the Point of Usefulness". And for profit. That thing's so old, it's way past public domain.
