On your quote from Jesus, you got what I wrote, great.

On deversify, we need to remember that chapters and verses were not in the original, also some versions add paragraph headings for what they think is being discussed, but they can be wrong. Even just paragraph breaks can be wrong, for example many Bibles make a paragraph break from Eph 5:21 to Eph 5:22 but this is not even possible to do in the Greek, as verse 22 inherits its verb from verse 21.

The teaching unit in Proverbs MAY be a single verse, because of the way Proverbs is structured. I think 1 Tim can be “chunked” into a few teaching units, but one should always keep the whole letter in overall context. I think one teaching unit is 1 Tim 2:8-3:16 as I see this as all about restoring errant overseers (or those wishing to be overseers).
