G2980–λαλέω–laleō

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.

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

But if the sense of the voice is not clear to me, I am like a man from a strange country to him who is talking, and he will be the same to me.

λαλοῦντι lalounti “speaking”λαλῶν lalōn “speaking”

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.

λαλῶν lalōn “speaking”

I give praise to God that I am able to make use of tongues more than you all:

λαλῶ· lalō “speaking;”

But in the church it would be better for me to make use of five words of which the sense was clear, so that others might have profit, than ten thousand words in a strange tongue.

λαλῆσαι, lalēsai “to speak”

In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord.

λαλήσω lalēsō “I will speak”

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?

λαλῶσιν lalōsin “shall speak”

If any man makes use of a tongue, let it not be more than two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let someone give the sense:

λαλεῖ, lalei “speaks,”

But if there is no one to give the sense, let him keep quiet in the church; and let his words be to himself and to God.

λαλείτω laleitō “he should speak”

And let the prophets give their words, but not more than two or three, and let the others be judges of what they say.

λαλείτωσαν, laleitōsan “should speak,”

Let women keep quiet in the churches: for it is not right for them to be talking; but let them be under control, as it says in the law.

λαλεῖν, lalein “to speak,”

And if they have a desire for knowledge about anything, let them put questions to their husbands privately: for talking in the church puts shame on a woman.

λαλεῖν lalein “to speak”

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

λαλεῖν lalein “to speak”

Be awake to righteousness and keep yourselves from sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I say this to put you to shame.

λαλῶ. lalō “I speak.”

For we are not like the great number who make use of the word of God for profit: but our words are true, as from God, being said as before God in Christ.

λαλοῦμεν. laloumen “we speak.”

But having the same spirit of faith, as it is said in the Writings, The words of my mouth came from the faith in my heart; in the same way, our words are the outcome of our faith;

ἐλάλησα, elalēsa “I have spoken,”λαλοῦμεν· laloumen “speak;”

For I was not put to shame in anything in which I may have made clear to him my pride in you; but as we said nothing to you but what was true, so the good things which I said to Titus about you were seen by him to be true.

ἐλαλήσαμεν elalēsamen “we have spoken”

What I am now saying is not by the order of the Lord, but as a foolish person, taking credit to myself, as it seems.

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

Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking foolishly) I am more so; I have had more experience of hard work, of prisons, of blows more than measure, of death.

λαλῶ· lalō “I speak;”

How he was taken up into Paradise, and words came to his ears which may not be said, and which man is not able to say.

λαλῆσαι. lalēsai “to speak.”

It may seem to you that all this time we have been attempting to put ourselves in the right; but we are saying these things before God in Christ. For all things, dear brothers, are for your profit.

λαλοῦμεν. laloumen “we speak.”

Seeing that you are looking for a sign of Christ giving out his word in me; who is not feeble in relation to you, but is strong in you:

λαλοῦντος lalountos “speaking”

And so, putting away false words, let everyone say what is true to his neighbour: for we are parts one of another.

λαλεῖτε laleite “do speak”

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;

λαλοῦντες lalountes “speaking”

For which I am a representative in chains, and that I may say without fear the things which it is right for me to say.

λαλῆσαι. lalēsai “to speak.”
