Chiasm 2: Acts 16:11-15
- A. 11-12 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis; And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
- B. 13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.

- B'. 15b If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there.
- A'. 15c And she constrained us.
