I like how most Bibles have a way of showing where paragraphs start and end based on the original text because back then they did not have scripture numbers. Mostly use a Bold number today, some use actual spaces. Is there something that I can do to the settings that can help me to know where paragraphs start and stop?

e-Sword has no settings that ignores the line-breaks.

Paragraphs and semi-paragraphs are not connected with verse-numbering but with context. (for making text-blocks)

The Original Text was ALL CAPS without spaces between the words. Later added the scribes spaces and blank lines.

The Masoretes used verse numbers and placed the letters Pe and Samekh on the end of the verse as Paragraph and semi-paragraph markings (see the Hebrew Study Bible)

Some Bibles used a ¶ to save paper.

There are here only few Bibles that are converted with "Layout" Paragraphs like the Restored Holy Bible (1.6 and higher)
