《希伯来书解经5-11卷（2-6章）（HOMILIES OF ST. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM ON THE EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS, HOMILIES V TO IX (CHAPTERS 2 TO 6)）》
2.] In the next place, lest hearing [the words] "after the same [example]," thou shouldest think that the punishment is the same, hear what he adds; "For the Word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and pierceth 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." In these words he shows that He, the Word of God, wrought the former things also, and lives, and has not been quenched.(1)
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
"Piercing," he says, "even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit." What is this? He hinted at something more fearful. Either that He divides the spirit from the soul, or that He pierces even through them disembodied, not as a sword through bodies only. Here he shows, that the soul also is punished, and that it thoroughly searches out the most inward things, piercing wholly through the whole man.
接下来，免得听到（这些话）“学那（不信从的样子）”，你要想想惩罚是一样的，听听他所说的；“神的道是活泼的，是有功效的，比一切两刃的剑更快，甚至魂与灵，骨节与骨髓，都能刺入、剖开，连心中的思念和主意都能辨明。”这些话表明祂，神的道，精炼前述的几样东西，他是活泼的，是不会熄灭的。
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
“刺入”，他说，“甚至灵与魂也能剖开”。这是什么呢？他暗示一件令人敬畏的事。甚至他（指神的话）能够把灵从魂分开，或他能够刺穿、分解它们（灵与魂），不只是像剑切入身体一样。这里，他（保罗）指明，魂也被惩罚，和他（神的话）全面的搜寻出人里面最深处的事，把全人完全的切开。
