Word
Care needs to be taken with words of this class. Particular attention should be paid to the wording of rule 2, just given. The same words in other senses or other connections are not capitalized. Heaven and hell and derived adjectives are not capitalized in their ordinary uses:
Adjectives and other derivatives from these words are not capitalized. We write Messiah, but messianic and messiahship; Christology but christological, fatherhood, sonship, and the like.
Such words as deity, god, and the like are not capitalized where any but the God of the Bible is referred to.
3. Pronouns referring to God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit in direct address or where there might otherwise be ambiguity.
These pronouns are not capitalized in the Bible. They are generally capitalized in hymn books and books of devotion. These pronouns were formerly all capitalized as a mark of respect to God whenever there was any mention of him, even indirect. The tendency is more and more to eliminate them except in the second person (direct address). In view of the change now going on it is best to follow copy if the author appears to have decided preferences.
4. Books, divisions, and versions of the Bible.
Book of Job, Twenty-third Psalm,
New Testament, Revised Version.
