³ and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort;

¹² so also ye, since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, for the building up of the assembly seek that ye may abound;

²² whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that ye might know the things concerning us, and that he might comfort your hearts.

² preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching,

¹³ till I come, give heed to the reading, to the exhortation, to the teaching;

⁴ he who is speaking in an `unknown' tongue, himself doth edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify;

⁵ 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.

¹⁹ So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another;

²⁶ What then is it, brethren? whenever ye may come together, each of you hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? let all things be for building up;

¹¹ wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, as also ye do.

¹² And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you,

¹³ and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves;

¹⁴ and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all;

⁹ holding -- according to the teaching -- to the stedfast word, that he may be able also to exhort in the sound teaching, and the gainsayers to convict;

⁶ The younger men, in like manner, be exhorting to be sober-minded;

⁹ Servants -- to their own masters `are' to be subject, in all things to be well-pleasing, not gainsaying,

²⁰ And ye, beloved, on your most holy faith building yourselves up, in the Holy Spirit praying,

¹⁵ and after the reading of the law and of the prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, `Men, brethren, if there be a word in you of exhortation unto the people -- say on.'

² and those having believing masters, let them not slight `them', because they are brethren, but rather let them serve, because they are stedfast and beloved, who of the benefit are partaking. These things be teaching and exhorting;

¹⁵ these things be speaking, and exhorting, and convicting, with all charge; let no one despise thee!

¹³ but exhort ye one another every day, while the To-day is called, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of the sin,

²⁵ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as a custom of certain `is', but exhorting, and so much the more as ye see the day coming nigh.

²² And I entreat you, brethren, suffer the word of the exhortation, for also through few words I have written to you.

¹² Through Silvanus, to you the faithful brother, as I reckon, through few `words' I did write, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which ye have stood.

² for let each one of us please the neighbor for good, unto edification,

⁴ nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith: --

¹² and such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness working, their own bread they may eat;

³¹ for ye are able, one by one, all to prophesy, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted,

¹⁷ for thou, indeed, dost give thanks well, but the other is not built up!

²³ All things to me are lawful, but all things are not profitable; all things to me are lawful, but all things do not build up;

¹ And concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that we all have knowledge: knowledge puffeth up, but love buildeth up;

⁸ or he who is exhorting -- `In the exhortation!' he who is sharing -- `In simplicity!' he who is leading -- `In diligence?' he who is doing kindness -- `In cheerfulness.'

³² Judas also and Silas, being themselves also prophets, through much discourse did exhort the brethren, and confirm,

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that through many tribulations it behoveth us to enter into the reign of God,

³¹ Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and, going on in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.

⁴ who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God;

⁷ so that, on the contrary, `it is' rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;

¹⁸ so, then, comfort ye one another in these words.

¹ As to the rest, then, brethren, we request you, and call upon you in the Lord Jesus, as ye did receive from us how it behoveth you to walk and to please God, that ye may abound the more,

² and did send Timotheus -- our brother, and a ministrant of God, and our fellow-workman in the good news of the Christ -- to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith,

¹¹ even as ye have known, how each one of you, as a father his own children, we are exhorting you, and comforting, and testifying,

³ for our exhortation `is' not out of deceit, nor out of uncleanness, nor in guile,

⁸ whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that he might know the things concerning you, and might comfort your hearts,

²⁹ Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers;

¹² unto the perfecting of the saints, for a work of ministration, for a building up of the body of the Christ,

¹³ 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,

¹⁴ 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,

¹⁵ and, being true in love, we may increase to Him `in' all things, who is the head -- the Christ;

¹⁶ 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.

¹⁸ And, therefore, indeed with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
