(12) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (13) Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
The Word of God is here evidently intended to mean, the un - created Word, of which John speaks in his Gospel, John 1:1. And let the Reader pause, and observe, what is here said of Christ's glory on this ground. His eyes, like a flame of fire, penetrates through all coverings. He is the Almighty Zephnath-paaneah, the great Revealer of secrets. What a folly to think that anything can escape his observation? What an unanswerable proof of his Godhead?
