1Peter 3:15 "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a
reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear."
Acts 10:29 "Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what
intent ye have sent for me?"
Luke 1:4 "That thou mightest know the certainty of those
things, wherein thou hast been instructed."
Acts 18:14 "And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews,
reason would that I should bear with you"
Matthew 5:32 "But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the
cause of fornication,
causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery."
Acts 8:20-21 "But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. [21] Thou hast neither part nor lot in this
matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God."
Acts 15:5-6 "But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. [6] And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this
matter."
Acts 19:38 "Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a
matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another."
Acts 10:29 "Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what
intent ye have sent for me?"
Hebrews 4:13 "Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to
do."
Hebrews 6:1 "Therefore leaving the principles of the
doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment."
While only the bold doctrine is the word "logos"
Romans 9:28 "For he will finish the
work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short
work will the Lord make upon the earth."
2 Corinthians 5:19 "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the
word of reconciliation."
Philippians 4:17 "Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your
account."
Colossians 2:22-23 "Which all are to perish with the using

after the commandments and doctrines of men? [23] Which things have indeed a
shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh."
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 "Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, [17] Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good
word and work."
James 1:21 "Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted
word, which is able to save your souls."
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the
Word, and the
Word was with God, and the
Word was God."
John 1:14 "And the
Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
These are all I can find for now. But that is a lot, that are "APART FROM any reference to speech, utterance, dialogue, discussion, etc?" I erased expression of thought because that's a catch all. This is what is truthfully being discussed.
