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: Tim: Isn't the forum a wonderful educational experience? Without it I never would have known that Hebrews 4:12 was not talking about the Scriptures. I guess we are in error when we say the Scriptures are (the Bible is) "living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword." So, according to some Forumites (not you, Tim), it is not true that the Scriptues are able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart? What an odd notion! Grace to you, kalos |
