Use bold headers for book-verse combinations, and then bulleted lists for those following them. Bold headers quickly follow the same font size of the content, making it easier to transition between the two. Using a simple transition of bold to bulleted is easier to remember than the heading types.

And it would probably have more than one paragraph, too.

New sections can begin with a level 4 heading.
