Code Explained:
The structure is taken from the UBS 4th revised edition Greek text. In this printed Greek text headings are set up indicating basic pericopes of scripture text material. Perceived major breaks in those pericopes are divided out into modern paragraph format. Also, perceived minor breaks in the thought structure are set forth inside paragraphs as sub-divisions through the use of a system of capitalizing the first letter of the word beginning a second section etc. To preserve this structure, I've used a system of indentation in the above table, along with the sub-divisions inside paragraphs color coded in blue.

#. Heading #:##-##

These texts will suggest double or triple tradition materials, as well occasional parallels with the fourth gospel along with other NT texts.

Taken from the United Bible Society's The Greek New Testament, 4th revised edition (Introduction, p. 1):

"The paragraph divisions and section headings remain as before, based on the model prepared by the United Bible Societies for the use of translators. These have proved their worth. They are largely similar to those of the New Revised Standard Version and of the Nestle-Aland Greek-English edition."
