The ESV Single Column Reference Bible conveniently presents the Bible text in one continuous column with wide margins for note-taking. The text is also laid out in verse-by-verse format, with each verse beginning its own new line and with the verse number printed in bold for easy reference. Paragraph divisions are indicated with a paragraph symbol that appears immediately before the verse number. This page format is especially helpful for those who study, teach, and preach, since each verse is easy to locate and identify at a glance.
