Chiasm

Romans 13:8–14

Romans 13:8–143 matched frames

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another; for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
    • B 9a For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet;
    • B' 9b and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
  • A' 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Second Chiasm (13:11-14):

  • A 11–12a And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand:
    • B 12b let us therefore cast off the works of darkness,
      • C 12c and let us put on the armour of light.
  • A' 13a Let us walk honestly, as in the day;
    • B' 13b not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
      • C' 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
