I have a question about quoting a Scripture portion. I am making a bookmark and on that bookmark I am quoting Luke 16:10a. Do I have to put quotation marks around the verse if I am only quoting part of the verse? The quoted section looks like this...
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: Luke 16:10a
This first section of the verse ends in a colon do I need to include the colon?
I can't reword this because it is on a bookmark. It stands by itself rather than coming inside of a sentence or something like that.
I have seen verses used like this before and they don't have quotation marks but my concern is that the quoted part of the verse ends in a colon. Is it ok to leave the colon as is? or would it be confusing?

I think it's fine to leave it as it is. It's not ambiguous.
