The Manual doesn't make it clear whether one can use Roman numerals in Bible verses when the book is NOT religious. 17.5b only uses Arabic numerals so there is no example to show what happens with Roman numerals.
Good morning!
In regards to Biblical citations, you don't provide me with a print copy of what you are referring to so I can only go by what you stated. IF the book you are transcribing is NOT primarily devoted to religious topics, I would follow print. 17.5b (5th edition) states: In standard prose, references to the Bible, Koran, and other religious works should be brailled as they appear in print. There is not an example showing Roman Numerals, however, I believe the "follow print" rule covers you here.
Hope this helps.
