'Speak' in the Bible

However, we do speak a wisdom among the mature, but not a wisdom of this age, or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

On the contrary, we speak God’s hidden wisdom in a mystery, a wisdom God predestined before the ages for our glory.

We also speak these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.

Brothers, I was not able to speak to you as spiritual people but as people of the flesh, as babies in Christ.

Don’t you know that we will judge angels—not to mention ordinary matters?

Do all have gifts of healing?Do all speak in other languages?Do all interpret?

If I speak human or angelic languagesbut do not have love,I am a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in other languages, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you with a revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker will be a foreigner to me.

I thank God that I speak in other languages more than all of you;

yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, in order to teach others also, than 10,000 words in another language.

It is written in the law:I will speak to these peopleby people of other languagesand by the lips of foreigners,and even then, they will not listen to Me,says the Lord.

But if there is no interpreter, that person should keep silent in the church and speak to himself and to God.

Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should evaluate.

the women should be silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but should be submissive, as the law also says.

And if they want to learn something, they should ask their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church meeting.
