DID YOU KNOW?The Bible was not originally divided into numbered chapters and verses. This was man-made and done for convenience of looking up and referencing passages of Scripture. There is no authoritative reasoning for the way it was broken up other than for ease of function.The disjointed text gives the impression that the Bible should be consumed in broken bits and pieces. That was never the original or intended origin of the authors. We should always read the entire context, so nothing is missed or mistaken. The books are cohesive letters, and once you experience reading each as an actual letter without the distraction of random breaks and numbers, you'll understand the intent in a much more personal way.Stephen Langton is credited with first dividing the Bible into numbered chapters and verses in 1,227 AD. A University of Paris professor, Langton went on to be appointed as the Archbishop of Canterbury. Today's version of separated New Testament verses (1551) is credited to a French printer, Robert Stephanus. The first entire Bible translation to be divided into numbered chapter and verses was Langton's edition of Latin Vulgate (1555). The first English Bible divided up by chapters and verses was the Geneva Bible in 1560.Letters From Paul is a chronological experience the way the Apostle originally wrote them.1 THESSALONIANS2 THESSALONIANSGALATIANS1 CORINTHIANS2 CORINTHIANSROMANSPHILEMONCOLOSSIANSEPHESIANSPHILIPPIANS1 TIMOTHYTITUS2 TIMOTHY
