'Argued' in the Bible

And Paul entered the synagogue, as was his custom, and for three Sabbaths he engaged in discussion and friendly debate with them from the Scriptures,

So he had discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place day after day with any who happened to be there.

And he reasoned and debated in the synagogue every Sabbath, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks;

Then they arrived in Ephesus, and he left the others there; but he entered the synagogue and reasoned and debated with the Jews.
