Hebrews 4:12“judge”Zōarōtos gar tos logos tou theou kai energos kai tomōteros huper pantan machairan distoman kai diiknerōtos achri merismou psuchau kai pneumeu, harmoiu tē kai mueloiu, kai kritikos enthumēsiaiu kai ennoiaiu kardiau;For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
