'Speak' in the Bible

You know this, my dearly-loved brethren. But let every one be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to be angry.

and the very people who speak evil of the noble Name by which you are called?

Speak and act as those should who are expecting to be judged by the Law of freedom.

But if in your hearts you have bitter feelings of envy and rivalry, do not speak boastfully and falsely, in defiance of the truth.

Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. The man who speaks evil of a brother-man or judges his brother-man speaks evil of the Law and judges the Law. But if you judge the Law, you are no longer one who obeys the Law, but one who judges it.
