'Words' in the Bible

For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.

And when I came to you, my brothers, I did not come with wise words of knowledge, putting before you the secret of God.

And in my preaching there were no honeyed words of wisdom, but I was dependent on the power of the Spirit to make it clear to you:

And these are the things which we say, not in the language of man's wisdom, but in words given to us by the Spirit, judging the things of the spirit by the help of the Spirit.

For to one are given words of wisdom through the Spirit; and to another words of knowledge through the same Spirit:

So if you, in using a strange tongue, say words which have no sense, how will anyone take in what you are saying? for you will be talking to the air.

But in the church it would be better for me to make use of five words of which the sense was clear, so that others might have profit, than ten thousand words in a strange tongue.

In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord.

But if there is no one to give the sense, let him keep quiet in the church; and let his words be to himself and to God.

And let the prophets give their words, but not more than two or three, and let the others be judges of what they say.

Do not be tricked by false words: evil company does damage to good behaviour.

I, Paul, send you these words of love in my writing.
