I would not use verse--i'd use "Chapter One, Part One, Chapter One, Part Two . . . " etc.

@Lordyaswas,

Thanks, your Lordyship . . .

The reason, Oristar, that i would not use verse, apart from it sounding awkward, is that the christian bible is divided into chapters and verses. Hence, the expression "chapter and verse," meaning to know something by heart. I would say that using verse in the context would sound awkward to any English-speaker. Someone else might have a better idea than part one, part two, etc., but i'd say that verse is not the answer.
