³¹ For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted.

⁵ That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; That the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:

¹¹ Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.

¹⁸ Therefore comfort one another with these words.

²² whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.

¹¹ He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds{The word for "shepherds" (poimenas) can also be correctly translated "pastors."} and teachers;

¹² for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ;

⁶ Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

⁷ and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced still more.

⁴ who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

³⁵ If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to chatter in the assembly.

¹⁹ However in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.

³ But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.

¹² that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine.

⁹ Instruct a wise man, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

¹⁴ We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all.
