12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? Some people place angels much higher in value than God does.
