"I would like to state XXX"
I'm translating a speech from someone who is in very high authority (actually the High Priest of a certain religion), so it is a very formal speech to a large audience. He stated something very confidently and explicitly. Can I translate it this way?↓

1) "I would like to clearly state that XXX" (this part is basically "honesty is important")
2) "I would like to explicitly state that XXX"
3) "I would like to expressly state that XXX"
