@hyunjinnn, Bhagvad Gita is something sacred to Hindus, and it has adapted different versions as it went through translations. So try to search for the original Bhagvad Gita. As original was written in  Sanskrit but I somehow would recommend to not buy online but buy from nearest Iskon Temple.  According to Quora, the 13th Chapter was not included in it. 


Bhagvad Gita:-


योगस्थः कुरु कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा धनञ्जय।
सिद्ध्यसिद्ध्योः समो भूत्वा समत्वं योग उच्यते।।
yogasthaḥ kuru karmāṇi saṅgaṃ tyaktvā dhanañjaya
siddhyasiddhyoḥ samo bhūtvā samatvaṃ yoga ucyate
Translated in English : Be steadfast in yoga, O Arjuna. Perform your duty and abandon all attachments to success or failure. Such evenness of mind is called yoga.


*This article is useful for the beginners who want to read Bhagvad Gita * It has some important shlokas with the lessons learnt*

*Note : I haven't read Bhagvad Gita *

@hyunjinnn Bhagavad Gita was never written,infact it was spoken.
