Are there any exercises apart from writing a full novel and reading an entire book to adopt a style.

Hi everyone,

I am a new writer only really started at the end of last year. I have successfully completed two short novels. My second one is leagues better than my first but I still am not exactly where I want to be in terms of style.

I'm looking to adopt a sort of bible or poetic style. I'll give some examples of the style.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" now this is very biblical writing but its the essence and the style of how it is writing I want to adopt mixed in with sort of spiritual/folk.

Is there any sort of exercise I could do to write in those styles and adopt them so they come more naturally?
