Use a colon in time, (1:25); verse, (Job 6: 1-8); Business letter, (Sir: or Madam:).
Semicolon;

Use a semicolon when you have a list of things using commas. . Ex. Hawaiian words familiar to many mainlanders include luau, which means “feast”; aloha, which can mean “love,” “welcome,” or “farewell”; and hula, which means “dance”.
3. Use to separate two main clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (but, so, for, and) when such clauses already contain several commas. Ex. Travel ads often focus on Oahu’s attractions, such as Waikiki Beach, Pearl Harbor, and Diamond Head; but the state has many other interesting sites.
4. Use a semicolon to separate main clauses joined by a conjunctive adverb or by an expression such as for example or that is. Ex. There are 132 Hawaiian island; however, nearly all residents live on seven of the islands.
