"The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword." Whatever is flesh it cuts down mercilessly, and thank God for it, because it is a hindrance to our blessing.... Whatever is not a thought that comes from God, and an intent that goes to God, the word of God judges.
.. There is nothing for the flesh but the sword—a figure, of course, of that which judges, detects, and condemns it.
