I made some changes to text ... now using milestone for verse number.
Removed 'citedText'.
I am open to suggestions on what OSIS should look like for this text.
Question: should I change the c-Implied to
<seg type="supplied">
Question: Is it required to change quote markers to <q>?
Question: If above is true how about in cases where the quote marks mark
something other than speech?

<title>Section 1:1-2 Paul sent greetings to
Timothy</title>
<p>The people who wrote letters during the time when Paul lived
began the letters that they wrote in a certain way. The author of a letter
wrote his name first, and then he wrote the name of the person to whom he
was writing the letter. After that, he wrote a greeting to the person or
group to whom he was writing.</p>

<title>Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus:</title>
<p> Paul began this letter to Timothy by stating his
own
name first. Then he said something about himself. In some languages, it is
not natural or possible for a person to talk about himself using the third
person. You may not be able to say, "This letter is from Paul, an apostle
of Christ Jesus." If this is the case in your language, you can say
something like:</p>
<p type="example">
<c-Implied>This letter is from me,</c-Implied>
Paul.
<c-Implied>I am</c-Implied>
an apostle of Christ Jesus.</p>
<p type="example">
<c-Implied>I,</c-Implied>
Paul,
<c-Implied>am writing this letter. I am</c-Implied>
an apostle of Christ Jesus.</p>
<div type="verseFragment3">
<title>an apostle of Christ Jesus:</title>
<p> The word
<c-mentioned>apostle</c-mentioned> means
"a person whom someone has sent to do a specific job on behalf of that
sender." In 1:1, Paul said that Christ Jesus personally chose and sent him
to be his ambassador or messenger of the gospel to other people. Paul was
to represent Christ Jesus to others. See
<x-SeeInGlossary>apostle</x-SeeInGlossary> in the
Glossary.</p>
<div type="verseFramgent4">
<title>Christ Jesus:</title>
<p> The word
<c-mentioned>Christ</c-mentioned> is
used two ways in the New Testament. In the Gospels,
<c-mentioned>Christ</c-mentioned> is a title for Jesus. It means
"the
anointed one." But later when Paul and the other apostles and disciples
wrote the letters to individuals and churches, the word
<c-mentioned>Christ</c-mentioned> was used as another name for
Jesus
rather than as a title.</p>
<p>Notice that in this verse Paul referred to
<c-mentioned>Jesus</c-mentioned> as <c-mentioned>Christ
Jesus</c-mentioned> instead of "Jesus Christ." The names
<c-mentioned>Christ Jesus</c-mentioned> and "Jesus Christ" mean the
same
thing. In most English translations and other national language
translations, "Jesus Christ" and "Christ Jesus" are translated literally
and in the same order as they occur in the Greek manuscripts. It is
recommended that you do the same thing. However, if you think that the
people who will be reading your translation might be confused when they
see two different word orders of the names, you may decide to translate
<c-mentioned>Christ Jesus</c-mentioned> as "Jesus Christ," which is
the
more familiar word order. See also
<x-SeeInGlossary>Christ</x-SeeInGlossary> in the
Glossary.</p>
</div>

<div type="verseFragment2">
<title>by the will of God:</title>
<p> The phrase <c-mentioned>by the will of
God</c-mentioned> means that "God wanted Paul to be an apostle." Paul
himself did not decide to become an apostle. Another way of describing
<c-mentioned>the will of God</c-mentioned> is to say that "God
choose Paul
to be an apostle."</p>

<div type="verseFragment2">
<title>according to:</title>
<p> The NIV translates the Greek preposition
<foreign
xml:lang="gr">????</foreign> as <c-mentioned>according
to</c-mentioned>.
This word introduces God's purpose for calling Paul to be an apostle. Some
ways to translate this idea are:</p>
<p type="ListBullet">Use a prepositional phrase as the
NIV has done.</p>
<p type="example">
<milestone n="1a"/>Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus
by the will of God, <milestone n="1b"/>
<c-Emphasis>according to</c-Emphasis> the
promise of
life that is in Christ Jesus</p>
<p type="ListBullet">Use a conjunction.</p>
<p type="example">
<milestone n="1a"/>God chose me to be an apostle
<milestone n="1b"/>
<c-Emphasis>in order to</c-Emphasis> make
known the
promise of life that is in Christ Jesus</p>
<p type="ListBullet">Use a verb, as TEV has
done.</p>
<p type="example">
<milestone n="1a"/>God chose me to be an apostle
<milestone n="1b"/>and <c-Emphasis>sent me</c-Emphasis> to
proclaim the
promise of life?.</p>
</div>
<div type="verseFragment2">
<title>the promise of life:</title>
<p> In the Greek text, the word that the NIV translates
as <c-mentioned>life</c-mentioned> here refers to spiritual and
eternal
life, not physical life. God appointed Paul and sent him to many different
places to preach the gospel. Paul told the people in these places that God
had promised to give them eternal life if they would trust in the Lord
Jesus Christ.</p>
