²⁹ Is not my word like fire? says the Lord; and like a hammer, smashing the rock to bits?

¹⁴ For this reason the Lord, the God of armies, has said: Because you have said this, I will make my words in your mouth a fire, and this people wood, and they will be burned up by it.

¹² For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

⁴ (For the arms with which we are fighting are not those of the flesh, but are strong before God for the destruction of high places);

⁵ Putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ;

⁹ And if I say, I will not keep him in mind, I will not say another word in his name; then it is in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am tired of keeping myself in, I am not able to do it.

⁵ And if any man would do them damage, fire comes out of their mouth and puts an end to those who are working against them: and if any man has a desire to do them damage, in this way will he be put to death.

³² And they said to one another, Were not our hearts burning in us while he was talking to us on the way, making clear to us the holy Writings?

¹⁶ To the one it is a perfume of death to death; to the other a perfume of life to life. And who is enough for such things?

³⁷ Now when these words came to their ears their hearts were troubled, and they said to Peter and the other Apostles, Brothers, what are we to do?

³ And they saw tongues, like flames of fire, coming to rest on every one of them.

⁶³ The spirit is the life giver; the flesh is of no value: the words which I have said to you are spirit and they are life.
