I haven't made it all the way back to Chapter 6 yet but I am as far back as Chapter 8 at the moment and the reason is that, backtracking through the chapters, I have yet to find the beginning of the conversation. What is being discussed in Chapter 10 started before Chapter 8. So it is good to read the entire conversation when attempting to derive the meaning of scripture.
It could very well be that in Chapter 6 we find the beginning and even the subject of the conversation and it could then be that after 4 chapters of discussion we find the conclusion in chapter 10.
Like I said... I haven't made it that far back yet but I do know that the conversation spans at least 2 chapters back at this point and I suspect that what Brother Blume has pointed out could be the beginning of that conversation.
The subject is often found at the beginning of a conversation or monologue and the conclusion is often found at the end. So it isn't an oddity to find 2 scriptures separated by a few chapters that directly correspond with one another.
