Bible verses about "utterance" | Haweis

¹ THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become as sounding brass, and tinkling cymbal. ² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries, and all manner of science; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ³ And if I deal out all my goods in alms, and deliver up my body that I should be burned, but have not love, I am nothing advantaged by it. ⁴ Love is long-suffering, is kind; love envieth not; love is no vain boaster, is not inflated [with pride], ⁵ doth not act unseemly, seeketh not her own advantage, is not passionate, thinketh no evil; ⁶ rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth in the truth; ⁷ beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. ⁸ Love never faileth: but if there be prophetic gifts, they shall be no more; if tongues, they shall cease; if science, it shall vanish away. ⁹ For we know partially, and prophesy partially. ¹⁰ But when that which is perfect cometh, then that which is in part shall be done away. ¹¹ When I was a child, I spake as a child, I thought as a child, I reasoned as a child: but when I grew a man, I put away childish things. ¹² For now we see by reflected light, indistinctly; but then face to face: now I know partially; but then shall I know even as I am known. ¹³ But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greater of these is love.

¹ NOW concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. ² Ye know that ye were Gentiles, drawn away after the idols that are dumb, even as ye have been led. ³ Wherefore I advertise you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God, call Jesus anathema: and no man can say, Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost. ⁴ But there are diversities of gifts, though the same Spirit. ⁵ And there are diversities of services, but the same Lord. ⁶ And there are diversities of mighty operations, but it is the same God who worketh all in all. ⁷ Now to every one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for usefulness. ⁸ For to one man by the Spirit is given wise discourse; but to another speech [communicative] of knowledge by the same Spirit; ⁹ to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing [diseases] by the same Spirit; ¹⁰ to another miraculous powers; to another prophecy; to another discernments of spirits; to another different kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: ¹¹ but all these things worketh that one and the same Spirit, distributing peculiar gifts to every one even as he wills. ¹² For as the body is one, and hath many members, but all the members of that one body, though many, are one body: so also is Christ. ¹³ For by one Spirit we all have been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free men; and we have all been made to drink into one Spirit. ¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ If the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it, on this account, not of the body? ¹⁶ And if the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it not therefore of the body? ¹⁷ If the whole body were eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? ¹⁸ But now hath God placed the members, every one of them in the body, as he hath chosen. ¹⁹ But if the whole were one member, where were the body? ²⁰ But now the members indeed are many, but the body one. ²¹ Nor can the eye say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. ²² Yea, much more the members of the body, which appear to be more feeble, are necessary: ²³ and those parts which we esteem as the more dishonourable of the body, on them we bestow more abundant honour, and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. ²⁴ For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered together the body, giving more abundant honour to that part which lacked: ²⁵ that there might be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. ²⁶ And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; and if one member be exalted, all the members rejoice with it. ²⁷ Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. ²⁸ And these also hath God placed in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healings, helpers, directors, different kinds of tongues. ²⁹ Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? ³⁰ have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? ³¹ But zealously seek the gifts that are the best: and yet I shew unto you a more transcendently excellent way.

⁸ Beware that no man make a prey of you by means of philosophy and vain delusion, after the tradition of men, after the principles of the world, and not after Christ:

¹⁶ All scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and advantageous for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness ¹⁷ that the man of God may be properly furnished, fully qualified for every good work.

²¹ For prophecy in old time came not by the will of man: but the holy men of God spake under the impulse of the Holy Ghost.

²⁰ Knowing this in the first place, that all scriptural prophecy is not from any man's own suggestions.

⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.
