Hello - I am formatting ebooks for the ministry I work for and I have a formatting issue. I am using Dreamweaver CC 2018. I having been trying different ways and my head is spinning. I have been learning as I go with coding and formatting. If someone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. I have attached a Word file that contains two samples of what I need to format.
Thank you!

Hi @arieloffice,
If you care to embed an image into your web reply, I'll look at it. But I'm not interested in downloading and opening untrusted Word docs from a public forum, sorry.
E-books have limitations depending on which devices you're creating this for. I suggest you ask whoever is publishing your e-book if what you want to do is possible.
For example, Amazon Kindle Direct Publish Guidelines

Hi! Thank you for responding. I have uploaded a image of the samples I need help with. Unfortunately I am also the one who converts the files to epub and mobi file formats, so I am not sure if it is possible.
I create the epub in Sigil and save as a epub then convert to mobi through Kindle Previewer.
Thanks,
Becky Hodges

PLEASE DO NOT ATTACH files from email. They don't come through.
Please come back to the web forum and embed an image directly into your reply. See screenshot of toolbar. Use the photo icon.

if it is just about Title (I mean if you don't have any paragtaph in between each title), you can run with nested list, and give a margin to each UL element
<ul>
<li>A. <em>all </em>[kol] <em>the land </em>(v. 43)
<ul>
<li> B. <em>according to all </em>[kol]<em> that he swore unto their fathers </em>(v. 44a)
<ul>
<li> C. <em>there stood not a man of all </em>[kol]<em> their enemies before them </em>(v. 44b)</li>
<li> C. <em>Jehovah delivered all </em>[kol] <em>their enemies into their hand </em>(v. 44c)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> B. <em>There failed not aught of any </em>[kol]<em> good thing </em>(“Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed,” v. 45a)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> A. <em>all </em>[kol] <em>came to pass </em>(v. 45b)</li>
</ul>
if you need to get a paragraph, and although the use of list is also appropriate, confusion can quickly take over, so you can run with nested section which will get margin
the CSS will be kind of
<style>
*[class^="section"] {
margin-left:3em;
}
</style>
and the HTML as
<div class="section_a">
<h2>A. The Transjordanians built an altar (v. 10). </h2>
<p>Paragraph</p>
<div class="section_b">
<h2> B. The Cisjordanians threatened war (vv. 11-12). </h2>
<p>Paragraph</p>
<div class="section_c">
<h2> C. The Cisjordanians sent a delegation (vv. 13-15a). </h2>
<p>Paragraph</p>
<div class="section_d">
<h2> D. The delegation accused the Transjordanians (vv. 15b-20). </h2>
<p>Paragraph</p>
<div class="section_e">
<h2> E. The Transjordanians swore innocence (vv. 21-23).</h2>
<p>Paragraph</p>
<div class="section_f">
<h2> F. The Transjordanians explained the altar (v. 27a).</h2>
<p>Paragraph</p>
<h2> F. The Transjordanians explained the altar (vv. 27b-28). </h2>
<p>Paragraph</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section_e">
<h2> E. The Transjordanians were innocent (v. 29). </h2>
<p>Paragraph</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section_d">
<h2> D. The delegation accepted the Transjordanian explanation (vv. 30-31).</h2>
<p>Paragraph</p>
</div>
</div>
<h2> C. The Cisjordanian delegation returned home (v. 32).</h2>
<p>Paragraph</p>
<h2> B. The Cisjordanians withdrew their threat (v. 33). </h2>
<p>Paragraph</p>
</div>
<h2> A. The Transjordanians named the altar (v. 34).</h2>
<p>Paragraph</p>
</div>

Thank you so much! I haven't had the chance to try it as the formatting I do for the ebooks is done after my main job with the ministry is done. But it looks good and looks like it will work.
I really do appreciate it. I am a newbie to this as far as finding out new coding.
Have a great day!
Becky
