With the Quran, it is important to note whether a surah was "revealed at Mecca" or "revealed at Medina". The "peace" verses are the early (Mecca) verses. The "sword" verses are the later (Medina) verses. The Quran is not laid out chronologically. It is laid out in order of the length of the verses, longest first.

Chronological Order of the Qur'an. Verse 1 is actually chronologically #5, and verse 9 (the biggest of the "sword" verses) is chronologically next to last.

Also, Muslims regard the "Medina" (sword) verses as superseding the earlier Mecca verses.

Meanwhile, Islam apologists tend to quote exclusively from the (superseded) Meccan verses in order to promote the idea of Islam as a "religion of peace".

I will be posting the “traditional order’ of the Koran in sequence. Thanks for noting that it is not the chronological order.
