“... 56:1 Jesus said: “Whoever has come to know the world has found a corpse. 56:2 And whoever has found ⟨a⟩ corpse, of him the world is not worthy.” 80:1 Jesus said: “Whoever has come to know the world has found the body. 80:2 But whoever has found the body, of him the world is not worthy.” The structure of both sayings is clearly chiastic: world—corpse (body) / corpse (body)—world. The expression “of him the world is not worthy” [...] parallels “of whom the world was not worthy” [...] of Heb 11:38. [...] As Harold W. Attridge points out, its phrasing follows the established proverbial pattern—see, e.g., Prov 8:11 LXX (nothing precious is worthy of wisdom) and Matt 10:37 (he who is too attached to his family is not worthy of Jesus; cf. Gos. Thom. 55). [...] The point of both sayings is the same: the one who recognizes the unworthiness of the world is worthier than the world itself. Similar sentiments are attested not only in Heb 11:38 (cf. Heb 11:7), but also in the wide range of early Jewish and early Christian documents. ...”
