???

Hello and welcome to CC.
If you google:
chronological bible reading plan
you will find a number of downloadable and printable chronological Bible reading plans.
With one of these you can use any Bible at your disposal. Most, maybe all, are set up to be daily plans, but as mentioned in the previous post you don’t need to adhere to the printed schedule - just move through them at your own pace as the Spirit directs you.
Good bless you in your journey in Christ.
Here you go. The Bible is put into chronological order so that you don't have to flip back and forth in books and chapters according to a reading plan. It's all put together for you.

If I remember correctly the Moffatt bible was written in order, but don't quote me, I never read it.
No, it isn't. That's why when people read it from page one to page 1977 (for example), it doesn't make a lick of sense.
What? How is it not? It begins with creation and goes through human history as it plays out to the new heaven and new earth. It makes complete sense. People are always wanting to mess with God’s word as if they know better.
Since you're accusing me of "messing with God's word," I have nothing left to say. Best of luck to you.
People in general was my intention. Explain how the bible is not already in chronological order as human history plays out? Your claim is it doesn't make sense if you read it from the beginning.
I don't have time to discuss these things as the evidence, as I researched myself, is online and available for all. And so, it is important that you do the same research. Therefore, I will give you two quick examples.
Scholars believe that in a timeline, chronological order, Job appears to be on Day 4 of the chronological order. Job is the 18th book of the Bible. The reading plan has you then read ALL of Job and then on Day 16, it picks back up with Genesis chapters 12-15.
Daniel is the 27th book in the Bible and Hosea is the 28th. However, Hoses begins on Day 201 of the reading plan and Daniel then shows up way down the line on Day 256 . . . again, not even close.
Scholars believe…enough said.
The book of Job is right where God wants it on his timeline as part of the wisdom books. These books give the Jew direction and wisdom concerning the end times and the second coming. Doctrinally, Job pictures the Jewish saints in the tribulation in the land of Uz who will be persecuted directly by Satan.
Paul’s letters are in order according to Christian growth, Romans being the doctrinal book. It starts out 1 Corinthians with babes in Christ and eventually ending with servants headed home with Philemon. Really interesting stuff when you see it. God’s book perfectly in order.
Paul’s letters is God dealing with Gentiles, the hisTory we are currently in. After the fullness of the Gentiles are come in, God turns back to Israel in Hebrews-Jude preparing them for the tribulation and return of their Messiah.
As we strive to understand our world from the Lord's point of view, we must think of how God lives with time, different from how we live with time. God lives in eternal time, something no humans have experienced and is impossible to imagine. We have yesterday and tomorrow, for God time simply is.
