Listening to some schmuck dissecting “Ode to Joy” cannot compare with _listening_ to the Ninth.

From what I’ve seen it’s not uncommon for a passage to follow a Covenant pattern and also be chiastic. John’s Revelation does the same. I really think this is the work of the Spirit, moving them to speak. To work this stuff out mentally would have taken years.

* A. Father, sent (1-4)
o B. Father, glory, before the world existed (5)
+ C. Given (6-8b)
# D. believe, sent, world, for them and not for the world (8c-10)
* E. I…world, they…world, keep them (11)
o F. Except the Son of Perdition (12)
+ G. Joy (13,14)
o F’ From the Evil One (15)
* E’ They…world, I…world, sanctify them (16,17)
# D’ believe, sent, world, not for them but for those who (18-21)
+ C’ Given (22,23)
o B. Father, glory, before the foundation of the world (24)
* A’ Father, sent (25,26)
