          "AI can organize a passage into questions, context, key terms, themes, and possible application points. It can also direct readers to commentary, book overviews, dictionary entries, Strong’s resources, and Bible study tools.",
          "This kind of organization can be especially useful for new believers, small-group members, and readers who need a clear path into deeper study."

          "A beginner-friendly order is: read the passage, summarize it in your own words, identify what is confusing, check context, use commentary or dictionary support, and then consider application. AI can help organize each step, but it should not skip any of them.",
