'Speak' in the Bible

We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.

But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,

Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.

Do I speak these things according to the ways of men? Or doesn't the law also say the same thing?

I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.

Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?

If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.

However in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.

In the law it is written, "By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. Not even thus will they hear me, says the Lord."

If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won't they say that you are crazy?

But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself, and to God.

Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.

let your wives keep silent in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as the law also says.

For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.

But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke." We also believe, and therefore also we speak;

For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.

Now in return, I speak as to my children, you also be open wide.

I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

That which I speak, I don't speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet however any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I am more so; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths often.

For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me, or hears from me.

Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.

Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.

For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.

This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.

for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.

praying together for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds;

that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.

But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.

through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;

to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men.

For he didn't subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.

But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.

and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can't speak now in detail.

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom.

Don't speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.

but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries;

They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

Having many things to write to you, I don't want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.

but I hope to see you soon, and we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.

But these speak evil of whatever things they don't know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, they are destroyed in these things.
