Main Idea :: The central point Paul is making in this passage is found in v.22a - "Behold then the kindness and the severity of God..." What follows from that inference is a brief explanation of severity and a long, deep explanation of kindness. (chiasm) v.20de also forms a high point in this passage as seen in its -/+ imperatives. But, because this is something that leads to Paul's command in v.22a it is part of the subordinate clauses. (see sticky note on a possible alternative rendering using Progression)
