Footnotes:

(1*) Some English translations split v14 into another v15. (2*) The original Greek wording is maintained but naturally implies face-to-face communication. John may be emphasising the mouth as a metaphor for the sword (words) that comes from it, which speaks life or death, blessing or curse, and judgment or justice.

God's Word is too vast for a single perspective. We all have a story, and as believers we all carry the Holy Spirit who is the Revealer. With this in mind - I would love to read your comments.
