Visualizations Section
This section lists resources that "visualize" the Bible text, that is, resources that display it in diagrammatic fashion. Syntactic graphs are a prime example. This section has no settings, and appears in the Exegetical Guide.[1]
Prerequisite reading: resources from the list above relevant to the visualization you are using
Resources included: resources of type:clause visualization and select resources of type:Bible
Section heading bar
The Section heading bar has a Setting option which controls the number of visualization resources shown initially and with each click on “more”. All other options are standard.
Contents
Priority Sequence
Series sequence
Author sequence
Use mouse over to see that the apparent duplicate names do, in fact, refer to separate but related resources.
The detail content is fixed i.e. it does not very by sequence:

Mouse over
Open a standard preview of the resource at the start of the article.

Opens the resource to the beginning of the article.
Right click
Opens a standard Context Menu.
Drag and drop
Opens the resource at a location of the user’s choice – opens to the beginning of the article.
Because each resource has it’s own format and information, rather than having search and supplemental material sections, each resource type will be discussed individually.
Reed-Kellogg
The Reed-Kellogg sentence diagram system is what most American school children learn as a tool to learn English grammar. As a result, it is what most adults are comfortable with – unless they have had a linguistics class and learned the advantages of some alternative diagrams. From my perspective, the advantages of tree diagrams include:
The same rules and format may take the diagram to parts of words (morphemes) or leave items as linguistic chunks (multi-word lexical units).
The order of the words in the diagram matches that of the sentence.
One can change the labels of the nodes to match the vocabulary you are familiar with.
Although there are several resources that promote the use of Reed-Kellogg in Verbum, only one clause visualization resource employs it – the only one enclosed in the red box above.

On a mouse over, the preview of the Leedy resource shows us the breakdown of the passage into sentences. This may or may not match the sentence divisions in the translation you are using.
The first two sentences are diagrammed by Leedy in the Reed-Kellogg convention as:
However, if one reads the accompanying notes Leedy, Randy A. SBL Greek New Testament Sentence Diagrams: Notes. Faithlife, 2020 you will discover there is a credible alternative diagram which is not shown.
A major purpose of drawing a sentence diagram is to identify such alternatives, explore how the alternative modify the meaning of the sentence, and what various commentaries say in support of (or against) each of the alternatives. It would be useful to be able to copy the diagram to Canvas and draw the alternative diagram.
