| | The Geneva Bible was the first to emphasize the "[[infinite]]", which most modern [[English]] translations still fail to use, as in {{bibleref|Psalms|147|5}} which the Geneva Bible renders as "Great is our Lord, and great is his power: his wisdom is infinite." The Geneva Bible includes extensive annotations and was the first study bible, in contrast with the [[King James Version]] (King James disliked the commentary). The Geneva Bible was also the first to divide chapters into numbered verses, although some verse numbering in other translations is slightly different today, and was the first Bible to use Roman type. | | The Geneva Bible was the first to emphasize the "[[infinite]]", which most modern [[English]] translations still fail to use, as in {{bibleref|Psalms|147|5}} which the Geneva Bible renders as "Great is our Lord, and great is his power: his wisdom is infinite."
