The word verse comes from versus, which can be translated as “verse”. The notion came to our language as a verse.
In the sacred writings, verse is called the small fragments that are distinguished within the chapters of the Bible and other books considered sacred. It is a group of phrases or sentences that facilitate access and study of the content.
In the Bible we find the verse as a structural unit
It can be said that the verses are part of the organization of the Bible. They are characterized by being numbered, which helps to locate them and, eventually, to quote them in a sermon or in another context.
Structure of the Bible The Bible is divided in various ways. On the one hand, it is possible to differentiate between the Old Testament and the New Testament. In each one, in addition, there are different books: Genesis, Exodus, Gospel of Matthew, Gospel of John, Acts of the Apostles, Epistle of Judas, etc. The name of each book appears in the index, sometimes abbreviated (eg instead of Exodus, for example). Then a first number is indicated, corresponding to the chapter of the book in question. Finally, after the chapter number and after a colon ( 🙂 , it is the verse number. So suppose we find a mention of John 14:6. As we indicated above, John refers to the book (the Gospel of John) Number 14, in turn, alludes to the chapter, while number 6 details the verse “I am the way, the truth and the life” begins this biblical passage Most popular Bible verses Both for religious and for lovers of literature, The Bible is a very particular source of stories, partly because it has an ill-defined provenance and because it is so old. Here are some of the most quoted verses. Philippians 4:13. She thanks God for receiving from her son, Jesus Christ , the strength you need to face life’s obstacles.
John 3:16 . God loved the world so much that he gave his own son to awaken faith in his people and offer them eternal life in exchange. Corinthians 13:4-5. He extols the virtues of love, beginning with the kindness that characterizes it. He also points out that it is not related to pride or envy, that it is not rude, selfish, spiteful or easily angered. Josue 1: 9. This reminds us to be strong and courageous, trusting in the fact that God will never abandon us. In literature Finally, in literature, the lines are the lines that make up a poem developed without meter or fixed rhyme. These works are free verse, generally long.
In poetry, lines are lines without meter or rhyme.
It is known by the name of free verse to the poetic form that deviates intentionally from the rules of rhyme and meter that stand out in Western poetry published until the end of the 19th century. This indicates that it has certain similarities with poetic prose and with the prose poem, although it differs visually in keeping the lines indented in the style of a traditional poem. This verse was used in surrealism, a movement that was born on the European continent during the First World War and was especially influenced by Dadaism. According to the description provided by the Royal Spanish Academy, it is an attempt to overcome reality by relying on the oneiric and irrational through unconscious thought. Precisely, surrealism was not limited to literary traditions, to the point of questioning the very metric.
