SPEECH

spech ('imrah, dabhar, etc.; logos): "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. Eulogia in Rom 16:18 is "fair speech"; lalia in Mt 26:73; Mk 14:70 the King James Version; Jn 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 Sam 16:18, margin "bussiness"), "communication" (Mt 5:37; Eph 4:29), "words" (Lk 20:20; 1 Cor 14:9); "persuasiveness of speech" for "enticing words" (Col 2:4), etc.
