 *NOTE**: *In one sense, it is scarcely necessary to write a *NOTE*. The
Reason is - that the “outline” inserted into the Interlinear text is almost
self-explanatory. The idea for these outlines came to me first in 1945,
after I ordered and received the 20 books or so either “by” or “on” Ivan
Panin. When I read his introduction to his Greek Bible Numeric text, I found
that Bible Numerics not only establishes what was the “original” Greek Text
from among 7 quite complete NT Greek Manuscript copies, plus thousands of
fragments - but also it establishes what are *true* sentences,
sub-divisions, paragraphs and sections (chapter equivalents). I like to
summarize, and thought - What if I summarize each sentence; gather these
summaries into the sub-divisions; the sub-divisions into paragraphs; the
paragraphs into section, and the sections into Books - What would I
discover? What might be for me the first of the 27 NT books to put to this
test? Why not Ephesians?


 I was so amazed at the result, that I was “hooked”. I typed up the entire
Numeric English NT, and hand-wrote the complete Greek text underneath clause
by clause. Then I summarized the entire NT.

I used Roman Numerals - for the Sections, or chapter equivalents.

Capital Letters - for Paragraphs

Arabic numbers - for Sub-divisions

Lower Case letters for Sentences


 This produced an *entirely different flavor* for each book of the NT! Check
this out with the section above. It does *not* follow the regular Chapter
and Verse division as found in our King James and other translations.


 To confirm the *great importance* of this discovery by Panin through Bible
Numerics - I received help in University summaries in 1946 through Jock
Davidson, a fellow student at St. Andrews College of Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan. He was amused at my “grousing” because I wasn't receiving the
grades in University subjects I felt I was capable of. He offered: “Come up
to my room, give me an hour of your time - and I'll show you how to lift all
your present grades by a full point. If you have a “C” - it will become a
“B”; if a “B” - an “A”; if an “A”, and “A+”. I could scarcely believe him,
but I thought, “I can afford an hour to give it a trial.”


 “First of all”, he said, “when you take notes on class subjects, leave the
upper ¼ of the right hand page blank. At the end of the day, summarize the
left and right page into that corner. Two weeks before the exam, summarize
the summary, and memorize it.


 “When the exam comes up, and it says, Choose any 5 of the following 7
question, and answer fully in essay type answer, *Don't* start answering
immediately. Instead, *outline* each of the 5 question you choose, leaving a
space for the fuller answer later on. When all 5 are summarized, then go
back to question one and start answering in essay style. If you don't finish
this stage, not to worry. The professor will see by your summaries and the
two or three answers you complete, that you know what you are doing. He'll
be so glad that he doesn't have to read all 5 short essays, that he'll in
gratitude give you an “A”!


 “Summarize text books in the same manner as the lecture notes.


 “For term papers, make a careful outline of the development you plan to
use. Then write it up according to the outline at the top.”


 Then he said “Of course, I myself don't follow this plan rigidly.” His
room-mate piped up, “O yes he does! He's like a slave to the above!”


 I followed Jock's above 4 suggestions, won 3 scholarship the next semester,
and graduated “cum laude” (with honor). I could hardly believe it! I have
taught over 1000 students the above, and many of them can testify of similar
results.


 “But” - and this is a *big* but - when you carefully follow Panin's Bible
Numerics method of outlining the 27 books of the NT - you will be awarded by
God a “summa cum laude” - a graduation *with* *great* *honor*! Then you
won't need a *NOTE* to give understanding of difficult passages. This
Outline Method of summarizing the 27 NT Books - will be its own reward!


 As you can see, I leave a space above my summaries. By all means cross out
any of mine that don't sit well with you, and substitute them with your own!
You will never be the same again. We together will start to think God's
thoughts after Him, and indeed enter into the mind of Christ. Especially
when we take God's challenge to Joshua in 1:8, and read *aloud* these
sentences and summaries, and meditate over them - even kneeling before God
as we do so. George Muller did this. George Whitefield too. I do also.


 Blessings on you as you take this challenge. May we *all* end up in God's
sight “summa cum laude” - graduates with *great* Honor! - J.A.Watt


*PS.  If you have High School or College age students - the NOTE at the foot
of this Outlined Interlinear Greek NT Section - could be a means of helping
them lift their grades considerably! I have taught some 1000 Bible College
Students this method, and have seen many of them so lift their grades!  Also
- you will note the reversal of Dr. Ivan Panin's Greek and English texts -
to make for easier reading and study.  J.*
