Part 7 -> Scripture References
A Scripture reference is a way of pointing to a specific place in the Bible. It has
two parts, the book reference and the numbered reference.

Which part of the Scripture reference is underlined? What book does the reference point to?

Part 8 -> Finding our way around the Bible using the References in the Corner of the Page
In the upper corner of each page of our Bibles
is a Scripture reference to tell us what is on
that page. We can use these references to
find our way around the Bible.
Suppose you open your Bible and see the
reference below in the upper corner. Are you
in the Old Testament or New Testament? Use the chart on page 3 for a reference, if needed.
Old Testament (OT) or

c) Malachi 3:5 OT | NT
