    Chapter and verse numbers were not present in the original manuscripts. And it's when we remove them, we start seeing the text in a new light. We see connections we didn't see before, especially where chapter breaks used to be.

    But there's more. I am reading the epistles now, and one of the more challenging issues in translation is where to place the adverbs. If you have an adverb between two closely placed verbs, does it modify the first verb or the second?

    A good Greek text will notify you that certain English translations put the commas in different places.

    BUT Logos keeps the commas (and periods) there, so it decides for us. I wish we had the option to remove at least the commas too. Don't tell us how we should interpret this. Let us think it through ourselves

    thank you
