The Holy Bible Cryptogram

Solving Approach

This one works out to about 5.2 letters per word on average. This puzzle leans toward longer words — apostrophes and doubled letters will likely crack it open faster than word length alone. Expect a harder puzzle like this to mix short and long words unevenly, so don't assume the shortest cipher group is the easiest win — check it against repeated letters elsewhere first.
