 How the Word of God is alive and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of the soul and the spirit, and the joints and the marrow is a critic of thought and intents of the heart. When you learn the Word of God, it will cut you open. It will show you what you really are. It will take away your arrogance. It will let you see yourself as you really are.
