Wuest is so strangely laid out, cant do verse by verse and it often adds text to other verses. Compare Matt 4:18-22 - I have added attachments. Could we please get it to look like other books?

    Wuest is so strangely laid out, cant do verse by verse and it often adds text to other verses.

    Well it maybe is called "an expanded translation" for a reason. Actually the preface spaks a lot about how and why Wuest did this. As for verse-by-verse, he says:

    The conventional division according to chapter and verse has been replaced by division according to meaning, although chapter numbers are indicated in the top margin and verse numbers in the outside margin of each page

    Kenneth S. Wuest, The New Testament: An Expanded Translation (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1961)

    A number of bibles go away from the verse-by-verse and are set in paragraphs (Logos will often allow you to change this to verse-by-verse view if all verses are tagged individually), and some will not indicate single verses on purpose. When this is done in their print editions, Logos will receive the same for electronic bibles and can't just arbitrarily put in verse markers where the publisher din't have them.

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    I getcha, have been using the Wuest for years. But if you look at these verses, they aren't just sorted into groups, they are entirely in another format, shuffled around. Look at the verse section (ignoring pericopes)

    Any other electronic version allows me to use it as any of its other bibles. Just wondering why we cant do that on the most advanced bible software around! :)

    I note that it has been done for the Message bible, which can be reformatted in its Visual filters menu.
