Hebrews 4:11-13 GW So we must make every effort to enter that place of rest (faith in Christ). Then no one will be lost by following the example of those who refused to obey. (12) God's word is living and active. It is sharper than any two-edged sword and cuts as deep as the place where soul and spirit meet, the place where joints and marrow meet. God's word judges a person's thoughts and intentions. (13) No creature can hide from God. Everything is uncovered and exposed for him to see. We must answer to him.

Hebrews 4:11-13 BBE Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest (faith in Christ), and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders. (12) For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart. (13) And there is nothing made which is not completely clear to him; there is nothing covered, but all things are open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Hebrews 4:11-13 GNB Let us, then, do our best to receive that rest (through faith in Christ), so that no one of us will fail as they did because of their lack of faith. (12) The word of God is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword. It cuts all the way through, to where soul and spirit meet, to where joints and marrow come together. It judges the desires and thoughts of the heart. (13) There is nothing that can be hid from God; everything in all creation is exposed and lies open before his eyes. And it is to him that we must all give an account of ourselves.

Hebrews 4:11-13 NWT 11 Let us therefore do our utmost to enter into that rest (faith in Christ), for fear anyone should fall in the same pattern of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and [their] marrow, and [is] able to discern thoughts and intentions of [the] heart. 13 And there is not a creation that is not manifest to his sight, but all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of him with whom we have an accounting.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
