But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.

But the person who prophesies speaks to people. That person prophesies to make people stronger, to give them hope, and to comfort them.

On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation.

But one who prophesies strengthens others, encourages them, and comforts them.

On the other hand, the person who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouragement, and consolation.

But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.

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

But the person who prophesies speaks to people for edification, encouragement, and consolation.

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

But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouragement, and consolation.

But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.

I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know about us, and that he may comfort your hearts.

Until I come, give your attention to the public reading, to exhortation, and teaching.

preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and exhort, with great patience and instruction.

So you too, since you are eager to possess spiritual gifts, strive to excel for the edification of the church.

holding firmly the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict it.

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

Urge slaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be pleasing, not argumentative,

Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, just as you also are doing.But we ask you, brothers and sisters, to recognize those who diligently labor among you and are in leadership over you in the Lord, and give you instruction,and that you regard them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another.We urge you, brothers and sisters, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.

After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue officials sent word to them, saying,“ Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say it.”

What is the outcome then, brothers and sisters? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. All things are to be done for edification.

Likewise urge the young men to be sensible;

The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but the one who prophesies edifies the church.Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but rather that you would prophesy; and greater is the one who prophesies than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edification.

All things are permitted, but not all things are of benefit. All things are permitted, but not all things build people up.

These things speak and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. No one is to disregard you.

For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted;

For our exhortation does not come from error or impurity or by way of deceit;

for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ;until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, that is, Christ,from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.

nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to useless speculation rather than advance the plan of God, which is by faith, so I urge you now.

and we sent Timothy, our brother and God’s fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you for the benefit of your faith,

just as you know how we were exhorting and encouraging and imploring each one of you as a father would his own children,

For I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts;

But I urge you, brothers and sisters, listen patiently to this word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

Those who have believers as their masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are brothers or sisters, but must serve them all the more, because those who partake of the benefit are believers and beloved. Teach and preach these principles.

so that on the other hand, you should rather forgive and comfort him, otherwise such a person might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

So the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria enjoyed peace, as it was being built up; and as it continued in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it kept increasing.

Therefore, comfort one another with these words.

who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying,“ It is through many tribulations that we must enter the kingdom of God.”

Through Silvanus, our faithful brother( for so I regard him), I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!

not abandoning our own meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

Let no unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but if there is any good word for edification according to the need of the moment, say that, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brothers and sisters with a lengthy message.

For you are giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not edified.

Now we command and exhort such persons in the Lord Jesus Christ to work peacefully and eat their own bread.

or the one who exhorts, in the work of exhortation; the one who gives, with generosity; the one who is in leadership, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

Each of us is to please his neighbor for his good, to his edification.

But encourage one another every day, as long as it is still called“ today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

So with many other exhortations he preached the gospel to the people.

Finally then, brothers and sisters, we request and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received instruction from us as to how you ought to walk and please God( just as you actually do walk), that you excel even more.

Now concerning food sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes one conceited, but love edifies people.
