New Testament for Everyone
Hebrews 4:12-14
New Testament for Everyone
12 God’s word is alive, you see! It’s powerful, and it’s sharper than any double-edged sword. It can pierce right in between soul and spirit, or joints and marrow; it can go straight to the point of what the human heart is thinking, or intends to do. 13 No creature remains hidden before God. All are naked, laid bare before the eyes of the one to whom we must present an account.
The sympathetic high priest
14 Well, then, since we have a great high priest who has gone right through the heavens, Jesus, God’s son, let us hold on firmly to our confession of faith.
