- A. No one can serve two masters.
- B. Either you will hate the one
- C. and love the other,
- C'. or you will be devoted to the one
- B'. and despise the other.
- A'. You cannot serve both God and money.
A chiasm is like a sandwich with the bread on the outside, the lettuce and pickles next and the patty (chicken, beef, fish) in the center.
What is the chiasm structure saying?
- C/C' the center essentially asks, "Who/what do you love and are devoted to?"
- A/A' on the outside makes a statement of truth.
- B/B' is the contrast of C/C'.
Chiastic structures are the "hidden" beauty of Hebrew narrative and poetry.
