Hebrews 4:6-13
“Let us therefore strive to enter that
rest, so that no one may fall by the
same sort of disobedience…
…For the word of God is living and
active, sharper than any two-edged
sword, piercing to the division of
soul and of spirit, of joints and of
marrow, and discerning the thoughts
and intentions of the heart…
…And no creature is hidden from his
sight, but all are naked and exposed
to the eyes of him to whom we must
give account.”
Hebrews 4:11-13
