G2980–λαλέω–laleō

And so with you; if with the living voice you fail to utter intelligible words, how will people know what you are saying? You will be talking to the winds.

λαλούμενον; laloumenon “being spoken?”λαλοῦντες. lalountes “speaking.”

If, however, I do not know the meaning of the particular language, I shall seem to the speaker of it, and he to me, to be merely talking some foreign tongue.

λαλοῦντι lalounti “speaking”λαλῶν lalōn “speaking”

Therefore let a man who has the gift of tongues pray for the power of interpreting them.

λαλῶν lalōn “speaking”

I speak in a tongue, thank God, more than all of you;

λαλῶ· lalō “speaking;”

but in the Church I would rather speak five words with my understanding--so as to instruct others also--than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

λαλῆσαι, lalēsai “to speak”

In the Law it stands written, "`By men of unknown tongues and by the lips of an unknown nation will I speak to this People, but even then they will not listen to Me', says the Lord."

λαλήσω lalēsō “I will speak”

Accordingly if the whole Church has assembled and all are speaking in `tongues,' and there come in ungifted men, or unbelievers, will they not say that you are all mad?

λαλῶσιν lalōsin “shall speak”

If there is speaking in an unknown tongue, only two or at the most three should speak, and they should do so one at a time, and one should interpret;

or if there is no interpreter, let the man with the gift be silent in the Church, speaking to himself and to God.

λαλείτω laleitō “he should speak”

But if there are Prophets, let two or three speak and let the rest judge.

λαλείτωσαν, laleitōsan “should speak,”

Let married women be silent in the Churches, for they are not permitted to speak. They must be content with a subordinate place, as the Law also says;

λαλεῖν, lalein “to speak,”

and if they wish to ask questions, they should ask their own husbands at home. For it is disgraceful for a married woman to speak at a Church assembly.

λαλεῖν lalein “to speak”

The conclusion, my brethren, is this. Be earnestly ambitious to prophesy, and do not check speaking with tongues;

Wake from this drunken fit; live righteous lives, and cease to sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak thus in order to move you to shame.

λαλῶ. lalō “I speak.”

We are; for, unlike most teachers, we are not fraudulent hucksters of God's Message; but with transparent motives, as commissioned by God, in God's presence and in communion with Christ, so we speak.

What I am now saying, I do not say by the Lord's command, but as a fool in his folly might, in this reckless boasting.

λαλῶ, lalō “I am saying,”λαλῶ lalō “am I saying”

Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as if I were out of my mind.) Much more am I His servant; serving Him more thoroughly than they by my labours, and more thoroughly also by my imprisonments, by excessively cruel floggings, and with risk of life many

λαλῆσαι. lalēsai “to speak.”
