Now, if you'd like me to read the entire New Testament to you, I'd be happy to do so! However, please note that this would be a significant undertaking, and it may take several hours or even days to complete.
Alternatively, I can provide you with a summary of each book, highlighting the main themes, characters, and events. Just let me know what you'd prefer!
