Click it to open additional panes until every passage is displayed. You may need to enlarge the Workspace to hold all the panes.

For example, you could edit the reference to "Gen. 1:27" to simply "Gen." and press Return or Enter. The result would be every set of parallel pages in the OT in NT module that are found in Genesis.

  2. Choose the desired Bible texts. You can now compare translations for the verses displayed in the Parallel tab.
