Bible Verses About Edification

and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort;

he who is speaking in an unknown tongue, himself doth edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify;

and I wish you all to speak with tongues, and more that ye may prophecy, for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues, except one may interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.

unto the perfecting of the saints, for a work of ministration, for a building up of the body of the Christ,

till we may all come to the unity of the faith and of the recognition of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure of stature of the fulness of the Christ,

that we may no more be babes, tossed and borne about by every wind of the teaching, in the sleight of men, in craftiness, unto the artifice of leading astray,

and, being true in love, we may increase to Him in all things, who is the head--the Christ;

from whom the whole body, being fitly joined together and united, through the supply of every joint, according to the working in the measure of each single part, the increase of the body doth make for the building up of itself in love.
