“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart — the word of God participates in divine life and power. The military imagery suggests both wounding and discernment; the word cuts through deception to reach the deepest intentions, exposing the human heart to divine judgment.
