1 Corinthians 14:27

So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.

speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.

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

He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.

So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.

Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.

For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.

from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.

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

“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.

But in giving you this command, I don’t praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.

What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, or has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.

But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.

Let all things be done decently and in order.

for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.

Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.
