Each verse ends with an {s} paragraph division, except for the 22nd verse, which ends with a {p} paragraph division.
Psalm 140:1-141:10, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: Psalms, Book Five: Psalms 107-150 Index
This psalm reveals that evil words are a key to unlock the heart to incline toward evil deeds. Evil words ultimately are whispered in the ear by the evil one, by spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places, so that they first appear as a thought in the register of our minds. Not all thoughts that cross the register of our minds originate with us; some of them are planted there, cleverly, craftily, laid as snares to trip us up, if we accept that thought uncritically without comparing it to the plumb line of the truth of God’s word. When we recognize an evil word in our minds, we can take that thought captive and make it obey Messiah, by saying, “Whoa! I reject that thought as evil and a falsehood; I do not accept it as truth or agree with it or receive it, and it must exit my mind now in the mighty name of Jesus!”
1 John 3, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: 1, 2, & 3 John Index
John uses the same Greek grammar in the B pair, of those who either practice or do not practice righteousness as an ongoing, continuing, or habitual action. John is describing a persistent lifestyle—either of abiding in Him—continuing with Him, tarrying with Him day after day, or habitually sinning day after day without repentance.
