The Word

Hebrews 4:12 – For the word of God is alive and powerful, and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing between soul and spirit, between joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.



II Timothy 3:16 – All Scripture is inspired by God, God-breathed, and is useful for doctrine, reproof, correction and training in righteousness.
