Understanding Citations

To study a Bible lesson, start with the first citation from the Bible in Section 1. Read all Bible citations in that section, and then read the Science and Health citations in the same section. Continue with each succeeding section, alternating between the two books.

Each Science and Health citation contains the page number and one or more line numbers:

If the citation is:

• 10:14 — read to the end of the paragraph

• 10:14 (only) — read only the sentence that begins and ends on line 14.
