¹⁹ So then we ^(A)pursue the things ^[a]which make for peace and the ^(B)building up of one another.

^23 (A)All things are permitted, but not all things are of benefit. All things are permitted, but not all things ^[a](B)build people up.

³ But the one who prophesies speaks to people for ^(A)edification, ^[a](B)exhortation, and consolation.

^26 (A)What is the outcome then, ^(B)brothers and sisters? When you assemble, ^(C)each one has a ^(D)psalm, has a ^(E)teaching, has a ^(F)revelation, has a ^(G)tongue, has an ^(H)interpretation. ^(I)All things are to be done for edification.

¹⁹ All this time ^[a]you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you. Actually, ^(A)it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ; and ^(B)all for building you up, ^(C)beloved.

^12 (A)for the equipping of the ^[a]saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of ^(B)the body of Christ;

²⁹ Let no ^[a](A)unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but if there is any good word for ^(B)edification ^[b]according to the need of the moment, say that, so that it will give grace to those who hear.
