In this section are the paragraph breaks for four versions of the New Testament. (The notation "m" beside a verse number indicates that the paragraph break is in the middle of the verse. The notation "m" followed by a number - m2, for example - indicates the second or third paragraph break in that verse.) Let me know if you spot any errors.

KJV (King James Version) - I used the paragraph symbol to assign breaks. Interestingly, none of the epistles uses paragraph breaks. After Acts, the next paragraph break is in Revelation.

RSV (Revised Standard Version) - Paragraphs are marked by larger numerals or letters. The epistles frequently use a paragraph break in the middle of the greeting. I used these markers in assigning paragraph breaks.

NAS (New American Standard) - I used the bold numbers and letters to indicate paragraph breaks.

NIV (New International Version) - This version uses indentation and vertical spacing frequently, not just for paragraphs. I've generally insisted that the end of a sentence must terminate a paragraph. I've generally ignored spacing which might be considered paragraph breaks within indented blocks.
