This should DEFINITELY be an option, as they don't actually represent
paragraphs.  They represent printed Pilcrow characters in the KJV
text, not paragraphs.  The reader should understand they indicate the
beginning of a conceptual paragraph according to the translators'
intentions, but they do not actually represent paragraphs in the
printed text.
