Hebrews 4:12-16

12For 1the word of God is 2living and 3active and sharper than any two-edged 4sword, and piercing as far as the division of 5soul and 6spirit, of both joints and marrow, and 7able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13And 8there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are 9open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

14Therefore, since we have a great 10high priest who has 11passed through the heavens, Jesus 12the Son of God, let us hold fast our 13confession. 15For we do not have 14a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been 15tempted in all things as we are, yet 16without sin. 16Therefore let us 17draw near with 18confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
