One of my hobbies is writing western calligraphy. I am doing a piece for a friend's birthday tommorrow. What are the rules governing the use of a partial verse of Scripture? I am copying Ephesians 5:20 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved the church and handed himself over for her I don't have room to continue the sentence to sanctify her, cleansing her by a bath of water with the word.... So, if I am only going to copy to ... over for her, how do I end the quotation? Do I use (... .) or can I add a period (.) or do I just leave it blank, without a punctuation mark? (her) Any help will be greatly appreciated. |

You need to use an ellipsis. ------------- Light blue touch paper and stand well back http://www.maquahuitl.co.uk - http://www.maquahuitl.co.uk http://www.toltecitztli.co.uk - http://www.toltecitztli.co.uk |

Í'd say use ... It makes it instantly clear that the sentence goes on, without being obtrusive.
But if the quote is part of a decorational border or something, just use nothing... -------------
