This article in intended for those that post articles on the internet about literary structures such as chiasms.
I have struggled for years with how to display chiasms with the proper indentation. Here is how passages with chiastic structure should be presented:
Until I discovered this technique, the different levels in my chiasms always flowed improperly. So, for those few of you that are writing this type of HTML, here is my solution.

I have struggled for years with how to display chiasms with the proper indentation. Here is how passages with chiastic structure should be presented:
| A | Or do you not know that the unrighteous (9a) | ||
| B | will not inherit the kingdom of God? (9b) | ||
| X | Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers (9c,10a) | ||
| B′ | will inherit the kingdom of God. (10b) | ||
| A′ | And such were some of you. (v11a) | ||
| (1 Cor 6:9-11a ESV) | |||
Until I discovered this technique, the different levels in my chiasms always flowed improperly. So, for those few of you that are writing this type of HTML, here is my solution.
