Definition and Context
Remarking, in a biblical context, refers to the act of making observations or comments about events, teachings, or individuals. It involves expressing thoughts or opinions, often with the intent of providing insight, clarification, or reflection. In the Bible, remarking can be seen in various forms, including direct speech, parables, and written epistles.

Biblical Instances of Remarking

1. Jesus' Teachings
Jesus often used remarks to convey deep spiritual truths and moral lessons. His parables and teachings were filled with remarks that challenged listeners to reflect on their lives and relationship with God. For instance, in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus remarked on the nature of true righteousness, saying, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:3). His remarks were designed to provoke thought and encourage a deeper understanding of God's kingdom.

2. Prophetic Remarks
The prophets of the Old Testament frequently made remarks that called the people of Israel to repentance and faithfulness. These remarks were often direct and uncompromising, as seen in the words of Isaiah: "Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow" (Isaiah 1:18). Such remarks served as both warnings and invitations to return to God.

3. Apostolic Remarks
The apostles, in their letters to the early churches, made numerous remarks to instruct, correct, and encourage believers. The Apostle Paul, for example, remarked on the importance of unity and love within the body of Christ: "Let all that you do be done in love" (1 Corinthians 16:14). His remarks were aimed at building up the church and guiding believers in their spiritual growth.

4. Remarking in Wisdom Literature
The Book of Proverbs is filled with remarks that offer practical wisdom and guidance for daily living. These remarks often contrast the way of the wise with the way of the foolish, as seen in Proverbs 12:15: "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel" . Such remarks are intended to lead individuals toward a life of wisdom and godliness.

The Role of Remarking in Christian Life

Remarking plays a significant role in the life of a believer. It involves not only the act of speaking but also listening and reflecting on the words of others. In the Christian community, remarking can be a means of edification, correction, and encouragement. Believers are encouraged to speak truthfully and lovingly, as instructed in Ephesians 4:15: "Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head" .

Cautions Regarding Remarking

While remarking can be beneficial, Scripture also warns against careless or harmful speech. James 3:5-6 cautions about the power of the tongue: "So also the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze. The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body" . Believers are called to be mindful of their words, ensuring that their remarks align with the character and teachings of Christ.(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Remark.3004. lego -- to say
