Usage: The word τομός is used in the New Testament to describe the sharpness or incisiveness of something, particularly in a metaphorical sense. It appears in contexts where the effectiveness or penetrating power of a concept is emphasized. Context: The Greek word τομός is notably used in the New Testament in the context of describing the Word of God. In Hebrews 4:12, the term is employed to illustrate the penetrating and discerning power of Scripture: "For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart" (BSB). Here, τομός emphasizes the ability of God's Word to reach into the deepest parts of human existence, discerning and revealing the true nature of one's thoughts and intentions. This usage underscores the belief in the divine authority and effectiveness of Scripture, highlighting its role as a tool for spiritual discernment and transformation.
