12 The word of God is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword. It cuts all the way through, to where soul and spirit meet, to where joints and marrow come together. It judges the desires and thoughts of the heart.

11 I keep your law in my heart,

so that I will not sin against you.

130 The explanation of your teachings gives light

and brings wisdom to the ignorant.

1 In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

14 The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw his glory, the glory which he received as the Father’s only Son.

63 *What gives life is God’s Spirit; human power is of no use at all. The words I have spoken to you bring God’s life-giving Spirit.

3 You have been made clean already by the teaching I have given you.

4 *But Jesus answered, "The scripture says, ‘Human beings cannot live on bread alone, but need every word that God speaks.’"

35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

15 Do your best to win full approval in God’s sight, as a worker who is not ashamed of his work, one who correctly teaches the message of God’s truth.

2 Be like newborn babies, always thirsty for the pure spiritual milk, so that by drinking it you may grow up and be saved.
