Also see Genesis 14 and 14th Epistle Hebrews

Notice that 2Chronicles 7 has exactly 22 verses which can easily be associated to the 22 Hebrew letters. But my presentation to you is with the other books in order as placed in our 66 book canon.

With the help of Richard Amiel McGough and Victor from the Biblewheel Forum we put together most of what you'll see below. But let me give you a very simple trick of how to research these patterns that you don't need special knowledge of Hebrew.
http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=2Ch&c=7

The Blue Letter Bible has Cross Reference section in purple written Cross-Refs. And it might lead you to a passage quite similar as it did to me while searching verse 12 and found this linked to the 12th book. There might be other findings but my challenge here was to search each verse related to the proportional book, for example verse 1 with book 1 Genesis, verse 2 with book 2 Exodus, verse 3 with the 3rd book Leviticus...

I try to be consistent to its' proportional book but in some cases I jump to the 2nd or 3rd Cycle of books because the book of the 1st Cycle has nothing in common with the verse.

In some cases the verses are linked to the proportional verses of Alphabetic Psalms or other poetic writings of the Bible.

If you find more links let me know in the comments underneath this page!

Verse-by-Verse Analysis of 2Chronicles 7
2Chronicles 7 1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.	The 1st Book: Genesis Genesis is not the best example but here's what we found so far: Genesis 15 17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. Genesis 22 6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. Genesis 19 24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
2 And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD'S house.	The 2nd Book: Exodus Exodus 40 34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. 35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
3 And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, [saying], For [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever.	The 3rd Book: Leviticus Leviticus 9 24 And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.	The 4th Book: Numbers
5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.	The 5th Book: Deuteronomy Deuteronomy 20 5 And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
6 And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy [endureth] for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.	The 6th Book: Joshua Joshua 6 4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
7 Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that [was] before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat.	The 7th Book: Judges Judges 21 4 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. The 7th/Sabbath day Genesis 2 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Exodus 20 11 For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. The Sabbath day's hallowing. The altar of sacrifice is highlighted in verse 7 together with the various sacrificial offerings. The Hebrew word for altar (mizbach) comes from the word sacrifice (zebach), which begins with the Seventh Letter Zayin. Verse 7 is suffused with the concept of sacrifice.
8 Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.	The 8th Prophetic Book: Amos Amos 6 14 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness. Hamath is a Chet KeyWord that plays a significant role on Spoke 8. It is cognate to the word chamoth which means wall which is the KeyWord used in the Alphabetic KeyLink between AV Lam 2:8 and Amos as discussed in the article The Lord standing on a Wall. This link is amplified by the fact that the phrase "from the entering in of Hamath" (milbo hamath) appears in only four verses in the Bible and all but one is indexed by 8 - 1 Kings 8:65, 2 Kings 14:25, 2 Chron 7:8, and this verse from Amos (Spoke 8, Cycle 2): Lamentations 2 8 The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
9 And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.	The 9th Book: 1Samuel
10 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.	The 10th Book: 2Samuel
11 Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.	The 11th Book: 1Kings 1Kings 7 1 But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. 51 So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD. "Finish" is the Kaph KeyWord Kallah that repeatedly appears in the acrostics. The number seven also reminds of completion just like kallah and the link is based upon the numbers 7 and 11: 2Chronicles 7:11 is (7, 11) in (Chapter, Verse). 1Kings 7 is (11,7) in (Book, Chapter).
12 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.	The 12th Book: 2Kings 2Kings 20 5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.
13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;	The 13th Book: 1Chronicles The theme of pestilence appears as third in yet another list of three evil things that God could send. Where does this list appear? In Book 13! When David sinned by taking the census, God gave him the choice: 1Chronicles 21 11 So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee 12 Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh [thee]; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me. 13 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great [are] his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man. 14 So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.	The 14th Book: 2Chronicles 2Chronicles 33 12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, 13 And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.
15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer [that is made] in this place.	The 15th Prophetic Book: Haggai This also links to the little book of Haggai, on Spoke 15, where God says that the people couldn't get their secular things done because they hadn't finished the reconstruction of His House. In 2Chronicles 7:15 God said that He would be open to the prayer that is made in this place, the Temple. Since they didn't complete the work of the House, God couldn't answer their prayers by blessing them. Haggai 2 3 Who [is] left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? [is it] not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing? 9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts. 17 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye [turned] not to me, saith the LORD. 18 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth [month, even] from the day that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider [it]. 19 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless [you]. God: Psalm 34 15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. And if you look at the content of verse 15, you will notice that it stands in remarkable contrast with a Samek alphabetic verse: Lamentations 3 44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through. Just as God said that He would be attent to the prayers of His people, He made known that they wouldn't listen to the prayers anymore, for they became disobedient to the covenant renewed in 2Chronicles 7. Polar opposites are subsumed in the same Spoke.
16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.	The 16th Prophetic Book: Zechariah Zechariah 3 2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;	The 17th Book: Esther Esther 1 19 If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she. Before is a small word but is derived from before his face. Face in Hebrew is the word panim a Peh word which is the 17th letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Even though in Esther God is not mentioned but the main story is Esther before King and husband Ahasuerus.
18 Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man [to be] ruler in Israel.	The 18th Book: Job Job 36 7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. This is a near KeyLink and all three coordinates of each verse link to those of the other verse. 2Chronicles 7:18 is (14, 7, 18) and Job 36:7 is (18, 14, 7), forming a cyclic permutation. Impressive, huh? The 18th Book of the 2nd Cycle: Matthew Matthew 2 6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
19 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;	The 19th Book: Psalm
20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it [to be] a proverb and a byword among all nations.	The 20th Book: Proverbs Proverbs is the 20th book of the bible. Proverbs 2 21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. 22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house?	The 21st Book: Ecclesiastes
22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.	The 22nd Book: Song of Solomon

1Corinthians 13 - alphabetic verses

1Corinthians 13 - are the verses alphabetic?

אֱהָבֶהָ	= 13
אֱהָבֶהָ (Ahavah, Love)	The Feminine gender of the word love.
אֶחָד (Echad, Unity)	= 13

Having seen the numerical value added to 13 and the subject of 1Corinthians 13 you'll understand that this chapter is meant to be known as the Love Chapter of the bible. This chapter in the King James interprets love as charity.

But in this article let me show you comparing with the Hebrew translation of the New Testament, that the verses are alphabetically and numerically patterned.

The Love Chapter of the Bible
1 Corinthians 13 - Listen 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.	1Corinthians 13 Hebrew Bible 1  אם בלשנות אנשים ומלאכים אדבר  ואין בי האהבה הייתי כנחשת המה או  כצלצל תרועה׃	Verse 1 is the introduction of the theme of charity
2 And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.	2 וכי תהיה לי נבואה  ואדע כל הסודות וכל הדעת  וכי תהיה לי כל האמונה עד כי אעתיק הרים ואין בי האהבה הייתי כאין׃	Paul is summarizing the bible's 2nd epistle 1Corinthians in this verse 2: 1Corinthians 12:10 KJV - 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 1Corinthians 8:1 KJV - 1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.	3 ואם אחלק את כל הוני  ואם אתן את גופי לשרפה  ואין בי האהבה כל זאת לא תועילני׃	2Corinthians the 3rd epistle is focusing on giving: 2Corinthians 9:7 KJV - 7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
4 Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind;   charity envieth not;   charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,	4 האהבה מארכת אף ועשה חסד  האהבה לא תקנא  האהבה לא תתפאר ולא תתרומם׃	Galatians, the 4th epistle compares the lusts of the flesh where envy is mentioned and the fruit of the spirit where longsuffering is mentioned.
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;	5 לא תעשה דבר תפלה  ולא תבקש את אשר לה  ולא תתמרמר  ולא תחשב הרעה׃
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;	6 לא תשמח בעולה  כי שמחתה עם האמת׃	Philippians the 6th epistle uses rejoice often: Philippians 1:18 KJV - 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. Philippians 2:16-18, 28 KJV - 16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. 17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. 18 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me. ... 28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. Philippians 3:1, 3 KJV - 1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed [is] not grievous, but for you [it is] safe. ... 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. Philippians 4:4 KJV - 4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.	7 את כל תשא   את כל תאמין   את כל תקוה  ואת כל תסבל׃	Colossians the 7th epistle mentions all things a few times: Colossians 1:16-18, 20 KJV - 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have the preeminence. ... 20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say], whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven. Colossians 3:20, 22 KJV - 20 Children, obey [your] parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. ... 22 Servants, obey in all things [your] masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: Colossians 4:9 KJV - 9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you. They shall make known unto you all things which [are done] here. Colossians 3:14 KJV - 14 And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether [there be] prophecies, they shall fail; whether [there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether [there be] knowledge, it shall vanish away.	8 האהבה לא תבל  לעולם אך הנבואות  הנה תבטלנה והלשנות  תכלינה והדעת תבטל׃
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.	9 כי קצת הוא שידענו  וקצת הוא שנבאנו׃
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.	10 וכבוא התמים אז עבור תעבר הקצת׃	This reminds me of Saul and David, who was after God's heart. The 10th book 2Samuel begins with the aftermath of the battle lost in the 9th book 1Samuel and David takes Saul's place on the throne. I have a glimpse of understanding that Saul and David represent the 2 covenants. Saul persecuted David while in power just as Ishmael mocked Isaac until he and his mother were sent away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.	11 כאשר הייתי עולל  כעולל דברתי  כעולל הגיתי  כעולל חשבתי  וכאשר הייתי לאיש  הסירתי דברי העולל׃	As is the Caf prefix in Hebrew which is also the 11th letter.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.	12 כי כעת מביטים אנחנו במראה ובחידות ואז פנים אל פנים  כעת יודע אני קצתו ואז כאשר נודעתי אדע אף אני׃
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.	13 ועתה שלש אלה תעמדנה האמונה  והתקוה  והאהבה  והגדולה בהן היא האהבה׃	Verse 13 comes back to the importance of charity. Philemon 1:1-2, 5, 7, 9 KJV - 1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy [our] brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, 2 And to [our] beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house: ... 5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; ... 7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. ... 9 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech [thee], being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

Proof That God Inspired The 66 Books In This Order

Introduction to the BibleWheel

Join the Biblewheel Group on Facebook
Also see Genesis 14 and 14th Epistle Hebrews

Scholars would debate whether or not certain books should be added or deleted from the bible believing that they don't agree with the rest of the Books and chapters.

But through the biblewheel this can now be proven that the 66 books fit well in their place.

1.
One reason is that each spoke consisting of books from the 3 cycles being grouped together such as Genesis/Isaiah/Romans are well read together.

2.
Another reason is that Isaiah consisting of 66 chapter and considered to be a miniature bible divided into 39 chapters and 27 chapters just like the bible are well read with their proportional book or spoke.

Such as Isaiah 40 is fulfilled in book 40 chapter 3's John the Baptist!

3.
The 3rd reason I can think of is if the order of books are linked thematically and numerically with the numbers part of the text.

The most obvious is the 14th day of the first month being passover and 2Chronicles being the 14th book where Hezekiah celebrated the biggest passover. Passover is also mentioned in the 14th Epistle Hebrews.

I will keep you posted everytime I write an article. I appreciated your interest and comments even if you don't agree. I hope to hear from you!!!

The epistle of James with the innerwheels of the other books

Introduction to the BibleWheel
Richard Amiel McGough's original BibleWheel site
Join the Biblewheel Group on Facebook
Also see Genesis 14 and 14th Epistle Hebrews

Notice how the book of James being the 59th Book and in the 15th Spoke has a few repetitive words and themes in common with the Spoke 15 of the innerwheels of other books, in other words the 15th chapters as well as the increments of 22s according to the 22 letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, such as Genesis 37 (15+22). Even though I'll go into details later, here's an overview of a certain words and themes I've found:

James and The Innerwheels of The Other Books: Overview

James 1 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: James 2 1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons. 5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? 14 What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? James 3 1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. 10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so [can] no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. James 4 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. James 5 7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. 10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and [your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. 19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;

Genesis 37 16 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed [their flocks]. 11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying. Acts 15 7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men [and] brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men [and] brethren, hearken unto me: 1Corinthians 15 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

Genesis has 50 chapters and the Hebrew Alphabet can make 2 full cycles plus a remainder of 6 chapters. Therefore Genesis 37 in notation is written 152. Despite my effort in explaining the math that many still won't understand I thought this would be a good example.

Note that Jacob and James are the same name. James is the half brother of Jesus Christ as Joseph was the half brother of the other sons of Jacob, except Benjamin. In both columns there is a mention of the word brother or brethren. Joseph had a habit of telling his brothers' evil reports whereas James forbids doing such a thing or rather maybe not telling the whole truth thus making someone look bad. After an increasing hatred against Joseph the brothers are moved with envy which James explains that every man has the spirit of envy.

James and Genesis 37

James 1 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. James 4 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

Genesis 37 1 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. 2 These [are] the generations of Jacob. Joseph, [being] seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad [was] with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report. 11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying. 16 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed [their flocks].

Once again in the 15th epistle and the 15th chapter of Acts brethren is mentioned. Also tempting God is within the subject. James wrote the 15th epistle and the first time it seems in Acts the apostles wrote an epistle was in this chapter 15. The 15th letter of the Hebrew Alphabet is Samech from which comes the word Sopher meaning scribe or writer.Some commentators have had the impression that James in his epistle puts on the yoke of the Old Testament practices. We see in Acts 15 that James is not like that at all.

James and Acts 15

James 1 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

Acts 15 7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men [and] brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men [and] brethren, hearken unto me: 23 And they wrote [letters] by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren [send] greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:

Once again James is mentioned as well as the word brethren in the 15th chapter of 1Corinthians as well as the 15th epistle.

James and 1Corinthians 15
James 1 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;	1Corinthians 15 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

Looking further into the long chapter 15 of 1Corinthians we find another things in common with the 15th epistle: firstfruits. It's not a key link. There might be something more to this.

Firstfruits
James 1 18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.	1Corinthians 15 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

Vain is not a keylink as you'll see many results outside of James and 1Corinthians 15. But adding the word faith it narrows down to 4 results/verses which the one excluded below is 1Thessalonians 3:5.

James 1 26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion [is] vain. James 2 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? James 2 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

1Corinthians 15 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which [was bestowed] upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 14 And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain. 17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

The 15th Epistle and the 15th Spoke of the Innerwheel of Genesis
James 2 14 What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit?	Genesis 37 26 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit [is it] if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?

The 15th Epistle and the 15th Chapter of Matthew

James 3 5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 6 And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

Matthew 15 11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are [the things] which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

James and Romans 15
James 1 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh patience.	Romans 15 14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. 15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,

James 1 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.	Job 15 35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit. Isaiah 59 4 None calleth for justice, nor [any] pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. 5 They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

James 1 26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion [is] vain.  27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world.	Isaiah 59 3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 4 None calleth for justice, nor [any] pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

James 2 7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?	Acts 15 17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.

James 2 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.	Acts 15 24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, [Ye must] be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no [such] commandment:

James 2 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

Genesis 15 6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. John 15 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

James 3 6 And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.	Isaiah 59 3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

James 3 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.	Genesis 15 15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. Isaiah 59 8 The way of peace they know not; and [there is] no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

James 4 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

John 15 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17 These things I command you, that ye love one another. 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

James 4 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded.	Matthew 15 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are [the things] which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

James 5 6 Ye have condemned [and] killed the just; [and] he doth not resist you.	Isaiah 59 15 Yea, truth faileth; and he [that] departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw [it], and it displeased him that [there was] no judgment.

James 5 7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.	John 15 1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
