The text of the Christian Edition of the Tao Te Ching is divided into two parts: TAO and TE

The first part, chapters 1–37, focuses on the “Tao,” the way of the universe and the source of life that surpasses human understanding. These chapters guide us in aligning with the Way of God. The second part, chapters 38–81, explains “Te,” the virtue or power cultivated by living harmoniously with the Tao, revealing how the Tao manifests in the world.
