But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
