Is there a Logos tool that compares the paragraph breaks in different Bible translations?
I'm wondering what different translations consider a paragraph in the N.T. to see what each translation (team) considers a thought unit. Is there anything that shows this graphically?
I have a Silver edition of v10.
I'm particularly interested in John's gospel at the moment but would like to know if I can do this comparison on any N.T. document.
Have a great day,

I'm not aware of anything that shows this for Bible translations - but the Bible Outline Browser does this for outline resources in your library (and you should have access to this with Silver)
The thing I find unhelpful about this tool is you can't specify a subset of outline books to examine - but it does provide the sort of thing you are looking for.

Thanks for pointing this out. However it's only for commentaries so it isn't very helpful for me though I will explore it a bit to see what I can glean.

One of the problems with this tool is that when you scroll to the left, you lose the reference column which is on the far right. That's a crippling limitation. However, I see that when I hover on a section it does use a pop-up to reveal a summary of the contents.

The pericope comparison provides similar material.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Ah, yes, that's it. I know I had used this for a similar need recently but I couldn't remember the name. Btw, it's in the Passage Analysis tool.

That is more helpful. Thanks.
Just a thought to be aware of: in the NASB95, the Pericopes don't always coincide with their paragraph markings. Don't know why.

Yes, the compare pericopes tool (within the passage analysis tool) is great. However, it only does headings / section breaks, not paragraphs withing thing those sections. A paragraph tool/option would be great.
