12 For (A)the word of God is living and (B)active, (C)sharper than any (D)two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and (E)discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And (F)no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are (G)naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Jesus the Great High Priest

14 Since then we have (H)a great high priest (I)who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, (J)let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest (K)who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been (L)tempted as we are, (M)yet without sin. 16 (N)Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

12 For the word of God(A) is alive(B) and active.(C) Sharper than any double-edged sword,(D) it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.(E) 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.(F) Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Jesus the Great High Priest

14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest(G) who has ascended into heaven,[a](H) Jesus the Son of God,(I) let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.(J) 15 For we do not have a high priest(K) who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are(L)—yet he did not sin.(M) 16 Let us then approach(N) God’s throne of grace with confidence,(O) so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
