A chiasm is a literary structure where the theme of the first section of a passage is repeated in the second. The center of the chiasm is typically the climax of the passage. In Luke 12:6-7 the center and climax is that God’s knowledge is so comprehensive that he keeps track of every sparrow and even knows the number of hairs on everyone’s head (Luke 12:6b-7a).
