Speech
Speech [1]
spēch ( אמרה , 'imrāh , דּבר , dābhār , etc.; λόγος , lógos ): "Speech," the articulate utterance of thought, is the tranlation of various Hebrew terms which convey this idea of "saying" or "word"; so, in the New Testament, the term generally so rendered is logos , "word." See Logos; Word . Eulogı́a in Romans 16:18 is "fair speech"; laliá in Matthew 26:73; Mark 14:70 the King James Version; John 8:43 is simply "talk." the Revised Version (British and American) has "speech" for various other words in the King James Version, as "matters" ( 1 Samuel 16:18 , margin "bussiness"), "communication" ( Matthew 5:37; Ephesians 4:29 ), "words" ( Luke 20:20; 1 Corinthians 14:9 ); "persuasiveness of speech" for "enticing words" ( Colossians 2:4 ), etc.
