NASB | Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 4:12 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. |
Subject: EXPLAIN HEBREWS 4:12 WHAT DOES IT MEAN? |
Bible Note: Greetings Emmaus! I agree that the "Word" probably can refer to both Jesus and the Bible, though it seems more likely that the written word is in view based upon the illustration used prior to this verse. However, one small point of information if I may. 'Logos' is a masculine noun. Therefore, 'he' would be the appropriate pronoun to use to refer back to 'Logos'. But, this doesn't necessarily mean that a person is being discussed, just that the antecedent is masculine. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
