Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12 · World English Bible

In context

10For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

11Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.

12For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

13There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

14Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession.
