6.         REFERENCES TO GOD

In normal text, personal pronouns such as He, Him, Himself, You, etc. are capped when they refer to the God of the Bible, i.e. to the Holy Trinity or one of the Persons of the Holy Trinity.

‘Name’ and ‘Word’ are also capped when they refer to God’s Name and God’s Word.  It also applies when they follow the possessive pronoun, e.g. ‘Your Name’ and ‘His Word’.  Other words such as kingdom, creation, sovereignty, etc., are not capped.

‘Church’ is capped only when referring to the greater Church of Christ as a whole.  Otherwise, church is not capped.

7.         GENERAL

Numbers from one to ten are written in full.  From eleven upwards, numbers are written in numerals, unless a number refers to a broad term - e.g.  “… a thousand years …” “… a million angels …”

When numbers below and above ten appear in close proximity to each other, they should preferably be written in numerals – e.g. “… between the ages of 8 and 12 …”
