¹² For the word of God is ^(A)living and powerful, and ^(B)sharper than any ^(C)two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is ^(D)a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

¹² “And to the ^[a]angel of the church in Pergamos write,

‘These things says ^(A)He who has the sharp two-edged sword:

¹⁶ Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and ^(A)will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.

¹⁵ Now ^(A)out of His mouth goes a ^[a]sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And ^(B)He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. ^(C)He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
