Ready now: He’s absolutely correct. The Perek and Passuk numbers used in all standard Chumashim (except for R’ Aryeh Kaplan’s) are the Christian divisions. According to us, they are counted by Parsha breaks (Pesuchos and Stumos). The only case where we agree with them is Tehillim. And even then, Chazal in Brachos say that the first 2 Perakim are really only 1.
