12 For the word of God¹ is living² and active.³ Sharper than any double-edged sword,⁴ it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.⁵ 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight.⁶ Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Jesus the Great High Priest

14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest⁷ who has gone through the heavens,^a⁸ Jesus the Son of God,⁹ let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.¹⁰ 15 For we do not have a high priest¹¹ who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are¹²--yet was without sin.¹³ 16 Let us then approach¹⁴ the throne of grace with confidence,¹⁵ so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
