Is it possible to copy a verse of scripture to paste into a document and include the reference? For example, if I copy from my NIV application I get something similar to:

Deuteronomy 25:13 (NIV)
13 Do not have two differing weights in your bag—one heavy, one light.

Is it possible to set the library to include the reference when copying?

You copy the scripture text with a reference and URL using the Share menu:

1. Go to a chapter.
2. Select some text.
3. Tap Share.
4. Tap one of the share options.

For example, for 1 Nephi 3:7, I get:
7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.

1 Nephi 3:7

Thanks! That also includes the hyperlink, which I don't need, but I can delete that part.
