Every book is in balance. No book can be added for subtracted from the New Testament without destropying all of the above design elements in the original text.
(Although much of this design was uncovered by Dr. Ernest L. Martin and others, there are a seemingly endless number of patterns hidden in the sequences of the books of the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, far more than we can show in a chart. THAT Bible can only be fully "seen" in multiple dimensions.)
