The answer
The Holy Bible was not written in the form we have in our hands today. The Holy Bible is a collection of several books and letters written over a long period of time. In the early compilation of the Holy Bible, there were no margins with references nor even verses as we have them now. It was just a flow of words.These divisions and margin references were added later to facilitate reading and studying the Holy Scriptures.
