# the word of God is living ... It pierces ... is able
Here "word of God" refers to anything that God has communicated to humanity, whether through speech or through written messages. Alternate translation: "the words of God are living ... They pierce ... are able"
"the words of God are living ... They pierce ... are able"
# living and active
This speaks about God's word as if it were alive. It means when God speaks, it is powerful and effective. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification]])

# sharper than any two-edged sword
A two-edged sword can easily cut through a person's flesh. God's word is very effective in showing what is in a person's heart and thoughts. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# two-edged sword
a sword with a blade that is sharp on both edges
A two-edged sword can easily cut through a person's flesh. God's word is very effective in showing what is in a person's heart and thoughts. The sword has a blade that is sharp on both edges.
# It pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow
This continues speaking about God's word as if it were a sword. Here the sword is so sharp that it can cut through and divide parts of the human that are very difficult or even impossible to divide. This means that there is nothing inside us that we can hide from God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# soul and spirit
# soul and spirit, of joints and marrow
These are two different but closely related nonphysical parts of a human. The "soul" is what causes a person to be alive. The "spirit" is the part of a person that causes him to be able to know and believe in God.
# joints and marrow
The "joint" is what holds two bones together. The "marrow" is the center part of the bone.
