*1.* “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.” *2* “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” *3* “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” *4* “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”
