    1. n phr
    1) ссылка на источник [первонач. на главу и стих Библии]

    But I have taken pains with the documentation, and I can quote chapter and verse... some diary, memoir, letter or whatever for every phrase that appears in the book. (V. W. Brooks, ‘The Flowering of New England’, ‘Preface’) — Хотя в моей книге и не даются сноски, я потратил много времени на изучение документов и могу подкрепить любое утверждение, содержащееся в книге... точными ссылками на дневники, мемуары, письма и т. п.

    ‘Is it that you know that? Or do you just think it?’ Despard went brick red. ‘Meaning one oughtn't to say things without giving chapter and verse? I suppose that's true.’ (A. Christie, ‘Cards on the Table’, ch. XV) — - Вы это точно знаете или это ваше предположение? Деспард густо покраснел. - Вы хотите сказать, что подобные вещи нельзя утверждать, не ссылаясь на источник информации. Вы, конечно, правы.

    He was giving chapter and verse for what was already known in general terms. (WD) — Он приводил точные данные о том, что было известно в общих чертах.

    Any books there were came from... the public library except for ‘The Old Curiosity Shop’ and ‘David Copperfield’, which he read, as people used to read the Bible, over and over again till he could have quoted chapter and verse... (Gr. Greene, ‘The Ministry of Fear’, book I, ch. I) — Все имевшиеся там книги были взяты в... библиотеке, за исключением "Лавки древностей" и "Давида Копперфилда", которые Артур Роу читал, как люди читают Библию. Он их без конца перечитывал и любил цитировать.

    2. adv phr
    досконально, во всех подробностях

    He explained slowly, chapter and verse, what we were to do. (WD) — Он толково, во всех деталях объяснил, что нам следовало делать.
