'Saying' in the Bible

I am not saying these things to put you to shame, but so that, as my dear children, you may see what is right.

What I am saying is for wise men, do you be the judges of it.

For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things.

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.

For if you give a blessing with the spirit, how will the man who has no knowledge say, So be it, after your prayer, seeing that he has not taken in what you are saying?

The secrets of his heart are made clear; and he will go down on his face and give worship to God, saying that God is truly among you.
