What Does ‘ff’ Mean?

Question:

What does "ff" mean when looking up Bible verses?

Answer:

It is means “and following.” It is short for “”folios following.”

It is used in the Bible to note several verses rather than listing them all. For example, if you saw a footnote that references John 3:16ff, that means to read John 3:16 and the verses that follow it.
