Study Assistant can provide a list of pericopes from a specified Bible but it won't respond properly to a range (e.g. Ro 1-3) and the output is inconsistent. For Example:
> list the headings in Romans 1 and Romans 2 —> OK
Based on the search results provided, here are the section headings in Romans 1 and 2:
Romans 1:
- Greeting (Rom 1)
- Longing to Go to Rome (Rom 1)
- The Righteous Shall Live by Faith[1]
- God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness[1]
Romans 2:
- God’s Righteous Judgment[1]
- God’s Judgment and the Law[1]

> list the headings in Romans 3 and Romans 4 and Romans 5
Based on the search results provided, here are the section headings:
Romans 3:
Romans 4 and Romans 5:
The search results don’t include headings for Romans 4 and 5. Based on my general knowledge, these chapters typically contain headings such as:
Romans 4:
- Abraham Justified by Faith
- David Speaks of Blessing Apart from Works
- The Promise Realized Through Faith
Romans 5:
- Peace with God Through Faith
- Suffering Produces Character
- Death in Adam, Life in Christ
However, the specific headings depend on which Bible translation you’re using, as different versions format section divisions differently.

Here are the section headings in Romans 3 and 4:
Romans 3:
Romans 4:
> list the headings in Romans 7 and Romans 8 —> ch 8 incomplete
Here are the section headings in Romans 7 and 8:
Romans 7:
Released from the Law (Rom 7:1–25)
The Law and Sin (Rom 7:1–25)
Romans 8:
Life in the Spirit (Rom 8:1–39)
Heirs with Christ (Rom 8:1–39)
> list the headings in Romans 8
Based on the search results provided, here are the section headings in Romans 8:
> the list for Romans 8 is incomplete
You’re right. Based on the document provided, here are the complete section headings in Romans 8:
The document shows these two major section divisions within Romans 8, with the first heading introducing verses 1–11 and the second heading beginning at verse 12.
> but there are headings for verse 18 and verse 31
You’re absolutely correct. Here are the complete section headings in Romans 8:
- “Life in the Spirit”[1]
- “Heirs with Christ”[1]
- “Future Glory”[1]
- “God’s Everlasting Love”[1]
Thank you for the correction—I apologize for the incomplete listing in my previous response.

> list the headings for Romans 10 —> the only pericope is after the first paragraph.
Based on the search results provided, here are the section headings in Romans 10:
“The Message of Salvation to All” (Rom 10)
The document provided appears to be incomplete, showing only the opening portion of Romans 10. To give you a complete list of all headings in this chapter, I would need the full text, as there are typically additional section divisions later in the chapter.
After the follow-up stating that the result for ch 10 is complete, SA agreed. After I repeated the original query the response was:
Based on the search results provided, here is the heading for Romans 10:
“The Message of Salvation to All” (Rom 10)
This is the only section heading shown in the document for Romans 10.
Is this guided learning?
When I repeated the query in Verbum 50 B3, the response was:
Based on the search results provided, there is only one section heading explicitly marked in Romans 10:
- “The Message of Salvation to All” (Rom 10) (beginning at verse 5)
The ESV text provided doesn’t include additional section headings beyond this one. Different Bible editions and study Bibles may include additional structural headings—for example, some versions divide the chapter into sections addressing Israel’s rejection of the gospel, the necessity of faith and preaching, or God’s patience with Israel—but these specific headings aren’t present in the search results returned.
If you’re looking for a more detailed outline of Romans 10’s structure, you might consult a study Bible edition or commentary that provides comprehensive section divisions for the entire chapter.
================================
SUMMARY: SA clearly understands "headings" in Bible chapters but gets really confused when headings is not limited to a chapter. It should perform more consistently for bible chapters though. Is the version of SA in Verbum v.50 more advanced?
