How to Say "scriptural" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “scriptural” is “bíblico” — B1 level.
Examples

Matching the Ending
Since this is an adjective, the ending must change to match the noun it describes. Use 'bíblico' for masculine words (un texto bíblico) and 'bíblica' for feminine words (una historia bíblica).
The Accent Mark Matters
Always include the accent on the first 'i'. Without it, the word would be pronounced differently and wouldn't be correct Spanish.
Capitalization Confusion
Mistake: “La historia Bíblica es interesante.”
Correction: La historia bíblica es interesante. In Spanish, adjectives derived from proper nouns (like the Bible) are usually not capitalized.
