[sword-devel] Making Latvian full Bible module. Confused about versification.

[Peter von Kaehne]

At this moment I would suggest you choose a provided versification which mostly fits.

I think a reversification of a couple of verses is acceptable

My suggestion is to try the Synodal and the German ones again
