What does f mean like: 1 Cor. 1:27 f

[stove]

When scripture is referenced sometimes there is either an f or ff in the reference as in 1 Cor. 1:27 f or 2 Chr 21, 5ff. What do the f’s stand for?

I think it should be * ff * and means* following *, that is, continue to read the verses that follow. [Hope that makes sense. I fear my wording is clumsy.]

 

[Todd_Easton]

I am reasonably certain of that, the *f *means “and the following verse.” So, 1 Cor 1:27f means 1 Corinthians, chapter 1, verse 27 and the following verse, i.e., and verse 28.

I am also reasonably certain that, the ff is the plural of f and means “and the following verses,” and the two or more following verses.

“cf.” in parentheses to mean “compare,”
“p./pp.” for “page(s),”
“f./ff.” for “following.”
