In the context of the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe the penetrating and discerning nature of God's word.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of sharpness was often associated with precision and effectiveness. This metaphorical use of "sharp" would have been understood by early Christians as a way to describe the incisive and discerning power of spiritual truths. The imagery of a sharp instrument was common in both Greek and Hebrew thought, often symbolizing judgment, discernment, and the ability to separate truth from falsehood.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from a prim. word temnó (to cut)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>sharp<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sharper (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5114: τομώτερος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">τομώτερος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">τομωτερα</span>, <span class="greek2">τομωτερον</span> (comparitive from <span class="greek2">τομός</span> cutting, sharp, and this from <span class="greek2">τέμνω</span>), <span class="accented">sharper</span>: <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/4-12.htm">Hebrews 4:12</a> ((Pseudo-)<span class="abbreviation">Phocylid.</span> verse 116 ((Gnom.
