According to John Welch, an excellent instance of chiasmus is found in Mosiah 5:10-12. This was the first example of extended chiasmus discovered in the Book of Mormon (It was found in 1967 by Welch while he was serving as a missionary in Germany). It shows King Benjamin's literary mastery. It comes at the very center of section 7 of the speech in which Benjamin presents six ideas, first in one order and then in the exact opposite order.
