Greg this is the part that made me think that I needed permission. I put the website in bold below. I will have to contact them to get clarification.
Not covered by Fair Use:
- Scripture on a product in which the verse stands alone such as artwork, notecards, crafts, novelty products, jewelry.
- Use of charts, maps, illustrations, footnotes, study notes, reference material, and the like.
- Fair use guidelines do not apply to smart phone applications, media platforms, websites, or related digital products.
- If you are interested in using an entire book of the Bible or an entire Bible translation, please contact Thomas Nelson’s licensing department.
I think the key there is if you wanted to produce large sections, or even the entire text on your website or in a Bible study app. A citation of a verse here and there is something they tend to encourage, and even make things like linking tools available to make it easier to cite on one’s internet site, like http://biblia.com/bible/nkjv/Jn1.1
ADDITION: Note this part of their statement:
Scripture from any of the Thomas Nelson translations may be quoted in any form (written, visual, electronic, or audio) up to two Hundred fifty (250) verses or less without written permission…

Tyler is a pastor in Olympia, WA and works in State government.
[JD Miller]I think you would be ok quoting a verse on the home page. This is from the link you provided:Chip, based on the fair use guidelines, it looks like I need written permission to us the NKJV on the website. Here is what I found

If you know of another version that I could use without that, let me know and I could update things today.
Scripture from any of the Thomas Nelson translations may be quoted in any form (written, visual, electronic, or audio) up to two Hundred fifty (250) verses or less without written permission, as long as the Scripture does not make up more than 25% of the total text in the work and the Scripture is not being quoted in commentary or another Biblical reference work.
Please note: Churches requesting to use a small selection of material for church bulletins, sermons or classroom use that falls within our “fair use” guidelines, formal written permission is not necessary. Churches may use stand-alone quotations/scriptures in sermons, bulletins, newsletters, or projected in a worship setting without asking written permission provided the translation is correctly cited.
Why is it that my voice always seems to be loudest when I am saying the dumbest things?
