Why, oh why, are you doing this? Anyone can buy an inexpensive Bible and save themselves the trouble of reading your verse-by-verse post. Remember, chapters and verses are not part of the Bible. they are nothing more than indexes to locate a particular location in Scripture. An in many cases they interrupt the flow of the author's narrative. The worst offenders are translations such as the King James that butcher the writing by making each verse a separate entity.

Again, why, oh why, are you doing this?
