1. Category 3 - 23 This group of slides has been designed to assist students endeavoring to memorize the scripture passages chosen by The National Bible Bee. These 4 passages, the twenty-third group of 4 from Category 3, are presented in the NASB version. (Note: These passages are longer than in Categories 1 and 2, so they are presented on two slides. For each passage, the complete reference is at the top of slide 1. The intermediate verse is indicated at the top of slide 2.)
