Hebrews 4:12 Amplified Bible - For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person}, and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature}, exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.
