38 This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at ^rMount Sinai, and with our fathers. ^sHe received living ^toracles to give to us.

12 For the word of God is ^eliving and ^factive, ^gsharper than any two-edged ^hsword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
