1 Corinthians 3:9

9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

1 Corinthians 14:3

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

1 Corinthians 14:5

5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.

1 Corinthians 14:12

12 So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church.

1 Corinthians 14:26

26 What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.
