64001002|64|1|2|Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
64001003|64|1|3|For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
64001004|64|1|4|I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
64001005|64|1|5|Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
64001006|64|1|6|Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:
64001007|64|1|7|Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
64001008|64|1|8|We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.

64001010|64|1|10|Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
64001011|64|1|11|Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
64001012|64|1|12|Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.
64001013|64|1|13|I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:

I am learning more about the bible as I work on this project, and for that I am grateful. the KJV does indeed not have 15 verses for 3 John. However some translations do, such as the ESV.

Wikipedia states " 3 John has 15 verses in the critical SBL Greek New Testament text,[4] or 14 in the Textus Receptus.[5]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Epistle_of_John.

blueletterbible states "Summary - Question 8 Why Is the Bible Divided into Chapters and Verses?

In the original text of the various books of the Bible, there are no such things as chapter and verse divisions. They were added later for the sake of convenience. While they are helpful, they are not authoritative in any sense of the term. In fact, they can cause a number of problems.

Chapter and verse divisions give the impression that the Scripture should be read and studied in bits and pieces. This is not what the original authors intended. The entire context must always be considered. Consequently, the chapter and verse divisions should be ignored when one attempts to properly interpret the entire message of Scripture." https://www.blueletterbible.org/Comm/stewart_don/faq/bible-special/question8-why-is-the-bible-divided-into-chapters-and-verses.cfm.

Thank you for letting me share what I have learned today. The github issue is still correct in that the KJV is split into chapters and verses, and has no verse 15 in 3 John. However I should be careful not to assume this about all translations.

I have opened https://github.com/scrollmapper/bible_databases/pull/60 as a way of discovering these errors sooner. I will have a separate PR to fix these inconsistencies soon.

Jmainguy commented 3 years ago

It appears that https://github.com/scrollmapper/bible_databases/pull/63 fixes this.
