RE:”It doesn't appear to be a "gaffe". It appears that he was reading it like it was something foreign to him. Or he could just be honest... say something like: I made that mistake because I am not very religious, I am a business man.”

I assumed that one of his advertising team came up with the ‘2’ line based on reading Cliff's notes on the Bible.

But him blaming it on Perkin's is pretty funny. Pure Trump (obviously Perkins is out of a job now, just like Cruz)

One rally Trump held a Bible in his hand like he knew what was in it it.

If anything, an advertising man would be MORE likely to spell it out. using "2 Corinthians" is a standard shorthand, and roundly educated people in western civilization know how to say it. Pick up nearly any Bible, turn to the book in question, and more than likely the header on the page says "2 Corinthians". It is standard, and is how it is cited in judicial opinions and academic papers. It is no more complicated than saying "et cetera" when we read "etc.".
