'Using' in the Bible

And again he went away, and said a prayer, using the same words.

I am using words in the way of men, because your flesh is feeble: as you gave your bodies as servants to what is unclean, and to evil to do evil, so now give them as servants to righteousness to do what is holy.

Is it not clear, my brothers (I am using an argument to those who have knowledge of the law), that the law has power over a man as long as he is living?

But the sense of my letter was that if a brother had the name of being one who went after the desires of the flesh, or had the desire for other people's property, or was in the way of using violent language, or being the worse for drink, or took by force what was not his, you might not keep company with such a one, or take food with him.

And for those who make use of the world, not to be using it fully; for this world's way of life will quickly come to an end.

Now though it is my desire for you all to have the power of tongues, it would give me more pleasure to be hearing the prophet's word from you; for this is a greater thing than using tongues, if the sense is not given at the same time, for the good of the church.

But, now, my brothers, if I come to you using tongues, what profit will it be to you, if I do not give you a revelation, or knowledge, or the word of the prophet, or teaching?

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 this reason, let the man who has the power of using tongues make request that he may, at the same time, be able to give the sense.

If, then, the church has come together, and all are using tongues, and there come in men without knowledge or faith, will they not say that you are unbalanced?

So then, my brothers, let it be your chief desire to be prophets; but let no one be stopped from using tongues.

I am not giving you an order, but using the ready mind of others as a test of the quality of your love.

Am I now using arguments to men, or God? or is it my desire to give men pleasure? if I was still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Truly my desire is to be present with you now, using a changed voice; for I am troubled about you.

Joining with one another in holy songs of praise and of the Spirit, using your voice in songs and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

And most of all, using faith as a cover to keep off all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.

And for this purpose I am working, using all my strength by the help of his power which is working in me strongly.

Evil and false men will become worse and worse, using deceit and themselves overcome by deceit.

And again ships, though they are so great and are moved by violent winds, are turned by a very small guiding-blade, at the impulse of the man who is using it.

As those who are free, not using your free position as a cover for wrongdoing, but living as the servants of God;

Keep watch over the flock of God which is in your care, using your authority, not as forced to do so, but gladly; and not for unclean profit but with a ready mind;

These are the men who make trouble, ever desiring change, going after evil pleasures, using high-sounding words, respecting men's position in the hope of reward.
