   • Look up the word in the concordance and find a verse which contains that word. Usually if the word is common there will be multiple references, pick one.
   • Using a Bible find the verse from the concordance, identifying the ordinal position of the word you wish to use.
   • Encode word by using the information writing the code above the word:
     • The first set of two digits represent the book of the Bible (01 = GENESIS, 02= EXODUS, 03= LEVITICUS, ... 65 = JUDE, 66 = REVELATION).
     • The second set of two digits represent the chapter in the book (01 would be the first chapter).
     • The third set of two digits represent the verse (01 would be the first verse)
     • the fourth set of two digits represents the word in the verse (count from the first word)
3. 3
   After you've written the codes above each word take a fresh piece of paper and copy only the number codes and punctuation.
