What constitutes a part? A verse? An event? A theologically significant saying? Clarification is needed

I like whem humans interact with god. Job and jacob suplexing god are obvious examples, but I am very fond of Abraham bargaining with god for the amount of innocent would necessary to save Sodom and Gomorrah for some reason. I don't know why

John from the NT
Yes, I know it is the most dubious and difficult to admit to part of the NT but the symbolism, the prose. Every time you go through it, you notice something else.
From the OT?
Isaiah and Jonah, likewise very rich texts and they don't have that feeling most prophetic books have of the writer masturbating to the thought of his enemies suffering like most prophetic books do

1. Sermon on the mount, or the Law of Christ (Matthew 5-7)
2. The giving of the first Law (Exodus 19-31)
3. Ecclesiastes, in its entirety
4. Jesus getting annoyed at the apostles not understanding basic things He says, throughout the Gospel of Mark
5. Much of 4 Ezra, especially the prophet's very human and reasonable questions surrounding theodicy, original sin...

Ecclesiastes because it transcends the two dominant, natural ways of thinking about life.

1. "Life is horrible, the best you can hope for are simple pleasures like friends, family, and the moderate use of food and drink."

The Preacher says, "you're right, those are the only things that can make you reliably happy, and they will fail you."

2. "All that matters is virtue and wisdom. If you live a wise life you will be happy."

The Preacher says, "you're right that virtue is the most important thing but your virtue is bullshit and it won't save you or make you happy any more than food and friends will. You're not as good or as wise as you think you are and the wiser you become the more you realize that you have more in common with a retarded person than you do with the Wisdom of God."

That's how I read it anyway, it's a hard book.

TRUTH HIMSELF eradicating all the lies, all the deceit, all the falsehoods, INSTANTANEOUSLY.
https://youtu.be/hqc_A-hzqdM?t=550

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
