The following is a summary of what is contained in this Restoration Edition of the scriptures:

ALL THE SCRIPTURAL WORKS SHARE THE FOLLOWING CHANGES:

● Verse numbers have been eliminated and the text has been formatted into paragraphs. This

provides greater context for individual passages and removes the isolation of a statement that is

caused by restricting it to a verse. The only exception to individual numbering is in Proverbs where

each proverb has been numbered.

● The chapters have been regrouped based on contextual themes rather than staying as they have

existed historically. Our team recognized that since chapters were originally organized by man and

not by God, we were free to reorganize them. Some paragraphs in some of the books have been

combined or divided as well, based on their context. However, in the Book of Mormon, chapters

were designated by Joseph Smith himself and those have been preserved.

● Very minor standardization and spelling correction has taken place. Care was taken to respect the

text.

● Punctuation can clarify, but it can also restrict. Therefore punctuation has been significantly

reduced in all of the volumes in order to free up the text for greater possible interpretation.
