Hebrews 4:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 [a]For the [b]word of God is [c]lively, and mighty in operation, and sharper than any two edged sword, and entereth through, even unto the dividing asunder of the [d]soul and the [e]spirit, and of the joints, and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts, and the intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature, which is not manifest in [f]his sight: but all things are naked and open unto his eyes, with whom we have to do.
14 [g]Seeing then that we have a great high Priest, which is entered into heaven, even Jesus the Son of God, let us [h]hold fast our profession.
