Hebrews 3:15-4:7. Chiastic structure copied from Chiastic
Analysis of the Epistle to the Hebrews, arranged by John Bligh
(Athenaeum Press, Heythrop College, Oxon, England: 1966). Bligh's work is almost
entirely in Greek. For website purposes, I have used unaccented Greek from the Unbound Bible, Nestle-Aland 26/27,
at unbound.biola.edu
I have added English from the New American Standard Bible, revised.
