- To answer Krille K:

1) First of all, my approach isn't meant to be optimal or the best! It's simply a way of doing things!
2) Then, I usually use Biblehub precisely because of the combination of English/Ancient Greek or Ancient Hebrew interlinear version and dictionary (sorry if it's too technical). The best example I can give is the case of Paul's conversion. According to the book of Acts written by Luke, we have one view of things, according to the letter to the Galatians written by Paul, we have another view of things. Then there is a translation that adds an adverbial of time for Acts to indicate the simultaneity of actions, an idea that is not present in Paul's letter (there is the same error in the text of the interlinear version). Now, when we look at the interlinear version of Biblehub English / Ancient Greek, we can see that there is no adverbial tense in the original text. This is possible thanks to the presence of the dictionary combined with the linear version, which makes this tool exceptional despite the translation errors. Another example is Revelation 22:14. There are 12 translations in 12 different languages, 8 give the correct translation (those who wash their robes) and 4 give an incorrect translation (those who keep his commandments or other)!
3) All advice/tips are welcome. But you have to analyze them first!
4) Constructive discussion is never useless!
5) I don't have a perfect short-term memory!
6) I understand the problem perfectly (I have the entire text in front of me)!
7) The reason I'm doing this is because I have 12 pages in 12 different languages. I'm publishing them in turn on all 12 pages, the order in which the languages appear being linked to the number of visits to each page!
8) To account for the difficulty, I'm going to add a step: I'll continue as usual and finally publish the whole thing. This way, everyone can view the information, either partially or completely!
9) I'll also add the full verse in English!

- Now we can come back to Revelation chapter 20 to see a big difference between the two groups!
- First, the devil is put to prison for a thousand years meaning he won’t deceive the nations during this time (verses 2 and 3)!
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
- Thus, the first group is resurrected and when they are resurrected they can’t die anymore (first resurrection)!
- The others are called the rest of the dead and it is said they did not come to life before the end of the thousand years! And the second death has power on them, meaning they can still die!
