Scripture is not extracted.

It is faced.

Whole.

Sequential.

Intact.

No rearranging.

No thematic filtering.

No emotional editing.

What is written remains.

The chapter stands as written.

Before preference.

Before interpretation.

Before comfort.

There is no acceleration.

No selective emphasis.

No borrowed highlights.

The sequence is not interrupted.

The reader does not stand above it.

He stands under it.

Not to consume.

Not to curate.

To confront what unfolds.

Line after line.

Consequence after consequence.

Nothing softened.

Nothing reorganized.

The structure speaks before the reader does.

The chapter remains.

So does the responsibility.
