Usage: The term προφέρω is used in the context of bringing forth or producing something, often in relation to speech or declaration. It can imply the act of uttering words or making a declaration.

Context: The Greek verb προφέρω (prophérō) is a compound word that combines the preposition πρό, meaning "before" or "forth," with the verb φέρω, meaning "to bring" or "to carry." This construction gives the sense of bringing something forward or producing it, particularly in the context of speech or verbal expression.

In the New Testament, προφέρω is used to describe the act of uttering or declaring something. It conveys the idea of bringing forth words, whether in the form of a statement, proclamation, or prayer. The term emphasizes the action of making something known or manifest through speech.

The usage of προφέρω in the New Testament is relatively limited, but it carries significant implications in the passages where it appears. It often relates to the expression of thoughts, intentions, or divine truths. The act of προφέρω can be seen as a means of communication that reveals the speaker's mind or the will of God.

In the Berean Standard Bible, προφέρω is translated in contexts that highlight the importance of verbal expression and the power of words to convey meaning and intent. The term underscores the role of speech in the life of faith, where declarations and utterances can have profound spiritual significance.
