'Declares' in the Bible

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentile nations because of you, as Holy Writ declares.

But to the one who does not work, but believes on Him who declares the ungodly to be righteous, his faith is credited for righteousness.

Even as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works:

Who shall impeach those whom God has chosen? God declares them free from guilt.

But the righteousness which is based on faith speaks in a different tone. "Say not in your heart," it declares, "'Who shall ascend to Heaven?'" --that is, to bring Christ down;

For one believes with his heart and is justified, and declares with his mouth and is saved.

Do not take revenge, dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me. I will pay them back, declares the Lord."

For it is written, "As certainly as I live, declares the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will praise God."
