Hello,
Does anyone Know of an English Bible version that reads like the original manuscripts, without Chapter and Verse, and possibly Puncuation?
Thanks.
I believe that you need to use the text only copy function which should work with any translation.
For the New Testament, An Expanded Translation by Kenneth S Wuest could be interesting - recommend reading preface before translation - more verbose, but groups verses (numbers to side).

Assuming you don't care if it is in Logos, perhaps this is along the lines of what you are looking for: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/the-new-testament-as-written/2645980
(New Testament only.)
There's the Books of the Bible series from Zondervan (based on the TNIV translation). "In some ways, it's an organic Bible--no additives! No chapter or verse numbers, no footnotes, no section headings to distract you from reading and engaging the sacred text." Available in various eBook formats (Adobe Reader, ePub, Microsoft Reader, Mobipocket, Sony, Palm). Not Logos, unfortunately. See also The Beauty Behind the Mask: Rediscovering the Books of the Bible by Christopher R. Smith, one of the members of the team who created this series. Or you can see a preview of his book After Chapters and Verses: Engaging the Bible in the Coming Generations on Google Books. There's a Facebook group called De-versify started by Christopher Smith and his peeps.
There's also The Holy Scriptures--As Written, prepared by someone named Kerry Jones who has slightly updated the ASV 1901 text (changing "hath" to "has," "thee" to "you," etc.), and put it in single column format with no chapter or verse numbers (just the verse range in the margin beside each paragraph). Available in print or downloadable/PDF formats. EDIT: This is the full Bible version of the one Mark Smith linked to above.
There's the Un-defiled Bible: Readers' Version (aka UN-defiled Scripture Reading Bible), edited by Elmer Whitten, based on the KJV text (Llumina Press, 2004).
I just got the Holy Scriptures by Kenny Jones off the website link above. You can get the pdf version for 2.95. It is the same price for just the NT or the entire Bible.
Not in Logos, but there's The Bible, American Standard Version, Verseless Edition. Has chapter numbers, no verse numbers.
Welcome [:D]
Likewise not in Logos, Coverdale Bible contribution by Princeton Theological Seminary in many electronic formats 1 Peter 3:17-18 does not number verses:
