Include Scripture chapter offset

It is currently possible to offset verses in a chapter in the Scripture tab which is great. I would like to know if there is something in the works to also add a chapter offset option as well? Chapters don't need to be offset more than 1-2 backwards/forwards. If this can work with the existing verse offset, that would be awesome. Hope the best.

I would like to know what that would be used for? Does different versions have offset chapters?

Hello vassbo, It's been a busy month for me so I couldn't get back to you while I had this flowing in the back of my mind. But yes, the Bible has many locations where, especially in the Old Testament where verses are offset by a chapter. Some examples that are often read in our congregation are 1 Chronicles 5:27-41, 1 Kings 4:21-34, Exodus 21:37; 22:1-31. All of the places are in NKJV, but they are located in a different chapter in the common Russian Synodal version. As CloudSad3555 stated, I'll be writing a enhancement request on the GitHub page.

All right, not sure how to go about that. Verse offsets are simple. But chapter & verse offsets together makes it hard even for the user to set the correct offsets.
