Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
