          "An AI Bible Chapter Study Prompt should begin by asking where the chapter fits in the book. Chapters are useful divisions, but they are not always the natural literary unit. A chapter often continues an argument or narrative from the previous chapter.",
          "This is why context must come before summary or application."

          "The prompt should request the chapter’s setting, structure, main movement, repeated terms, key transitions, theological themes, and connection to the surrounding chapters. It should ask what the chapter contributes to the book’s message.",
          "This turns the prompt from a quick explanation into a genuine study guide."

          "This is especially important in epistles, prophecy, wisdom literature, and extended narrative."

          "Doctrine and application should arise from the chapter’s meaning. The prompt should ask what the chapter clearly teaches, what it implies, what it does not prove, and how application should be limited by context.",
