When Bible verses are listed, the first thing you’ll see is the name of a book. Use the table of contents in your Bible to locate that book within it. The table of contents is at the beginning of the Bible. Locate the name in the table of contents and turn to the page associated with the start of the book. The name of the book might be abbreviated or spelled out completely. Some books include:  Exodus  (Ex) Genesis (Gen) Numbers (Num) After the book name, you’ll see two numbers. The first number is the chapter. For example, in “John 3:16”, “3” is the chapter number. Look at the verse and determine which chapter it is from in the book.  Some people may cite Bible verse using abbreviations and Roman numerals. For example, Lev. xx:13 is the same as Leviticus, chapter 20, verse 13. Locate that chapter within the book. You may be able to find the location of that chapter in the table of contents. If not, you can thumb through the specific book until you see that chapter.  As with other books, it should clearly say, “Chapter __” at the beginning of each chapter. In addition, many versions clearly say, <Book name> <Chapter>:<Verse> at the top of each page indicating the first verse on that page. Some also note the last verse on the page. The second number after the book name is the verse number. This number should come after a colon (:). In the case of John 3:16, 16 would be the verse number. If you're looking up a longer passage, there may be two numbers, separated by a hyphen (-). For example, in John 3:16-18, you're looking for verses 16,17, and 18. Once you’ve found the chapter, go through it until you find the verse. The verses go in numerical order, just like chapters. There should be a small number at the beginning of each sentence or a small group of sentences. This is the verse number. If you're looking for multiple verses, such as John 3:16-18, 17 and 18 would follow directly after 16.

Summary: Identify the book of the verse. Identify the chapter. Identify the verse number. Locate the verse within the chapter.


Over-the-counter skin bleaching creams can be used to treat the mole. Look for a cream that contains 2% Hydroquinone, an ingredient that is available over the counter and is FDA approved. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use, taking care to test the cream on a small inconspicuous area of skin before using it on your mole. Also be sure to only apply the cream to the mole, and not the surrounding skin.  Hydroquinone works by reducing the appearance of melanin in the skin on which it is applied. A whitening cream will slowly lighten the color of the mole until it is less obvious, particularly for flat moles with no raised borders. The mole will still be present, but not as easily visible. Mole removal creams such as Nevi-Skin are a fairly cost-effective method to treat. Use them with caution, as their claims have not been evaluated by the FDA. Be sure to carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions, and stop treatment immediately if you have an adverse reaction such as bleeding, irritation, or swelling. Know that they also sometimes remove more than the mole, leaving pits in your skin and causing scarring. ACV is an acid and can cause skin irritation and burning, resulting in the loss of your mole. Put a small amount of ACV on a cotton ball. Place the cotton ball on the mole and bandage it securely in place with a bandage, micropore tape, or duct tape. Repeat this process twice a day with fresh cotton balls for at least 7 days or till the mole falls off. By the end of the week, the mole should have gone.  ACV is available at both pharmacy and grocery stores. You can also make some at home using sour apples. Because ACV is a strong chemical, test a small area of skin elsewhere before applying it to the mole. If you do not experience any burning or irritation, proceed. This is one of the most popular and well known home remedies to get rid of moles naturally. Garlic’s acidic properties are thought to make it an effective mole remover. Peel two garlic cloves, and crush to make a paste. Then, add a pinch of rock salt to the paste. Apply the paste to the mole thrice a day for 5 days. Be careful; it may sting the surrounding normal skin. Cover the area with a cloth, cotton or bandage whenever you have applied the paste. Wash well with a regular soap every few hours. If the mole persists, continue until it falls off. The salt will absorb moisture from the mole, decreasing its water content and making it dry out and shrivel faster. To make a baking soda paste, combine 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 4 tablespoons of water. Mix well until it becomes a paste; if you need to thicken it, add more baking soda. Apply to the affected area and leave it there for an hour, then wash it off with soap and water. Repeat the process twice a day for 4 days. Baking soda when mixed with water to make a paste gives off a very caustic solution. The combination releases free hydrogen ions which are thought to react when applied onto the skin and tissue of the mole and dehydrate it. While iodine may not be available over the counter in a pharmacy in its concentrated form, it can be obtained in a diluted mixture in many stores. Further dilute your store bought iodine with 5 parts of water. Using a cotton ball or a cotton swab, apply it gently on the mole. Keep it on for 3 to 4 minutes and then wash it off with warm water. Be careful not to touch the surrounding region of healthy skin with the iodine. Keep the iodine off your clothing with gauze as needed, as iodine has strong staining properties. Aloe vera helps make the mole soft and more mobile. Prolonged usage of aloe vera is thought to result in complete disappearance of the mole with no scars. Proponents of this method claim that aloe vera slowly does away with the old hardened tissue and replaces it with newer softer tissue and cells.  Using a fresh aloe vera plant, procure the thick leaves and then squeeze the juicy gummy, clear transparent jelly it stores. This juice is often consumed by people for other conditions as well, but for moles it is to be applied directly on the mole without any other adulteration or dilution. The jelly/gum can be kept over the mole all day as it gets absorbed into the skin and you can wash it if you wish. Apply it at least 3 times a day for best results. Continue application till the mole falls off. Although aloe vera has been used topically by various cultures for centuries, there is no scientific data about its long-term safety, so use at your own risk. Aspirin is a blood thinning agent and is thought to work by diluting the blood supply to the mole enough for it dry out and deaden. Take 3 aspirin tablets and crush them in a bowl. Then, add two teaspoons of water and make a paste. Using a cotton ball or swab, apply the paste gently to the mole. Leave it there with a bandage for a day. Monitor the progress every day in terms of the size, shape and color. Within 1-2 weeks, it should make the mole fall off by itself. People who have missing blood coagulant factors or are hemophilic should not use this option. Similarly, those who use blood thinners or anti-coagulants should not use this method without consulting their doctor.
Summary: Use a whitening agent to fade the mole. Apply a mole removal cream to treat the mole. Use apple cider vinegar (ACV) to resolve your mole. Apply garlic to your mole 3 times a day for 5 days. Use baking soda to slowly fade the mole. Consider applying diluted iodine to the mole. Apply aloe vera to the mole to soften it. Make an aspirin paste to reduce the blood supply to the mole.
