οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐπεὶ ζηλωταί ἐστε πνευμάτων πρὸς τὴν οἰκοδομὴν τῆς ἐκκλησίας ζητεῖτε ἵνα περισσεύητε
Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
ἕως ἔρχομαι πρόσεχε τῇ ἀναγνώσει τῇ παρακλήσει τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
ὑμεῖς δέ ἀγαπητοί τῇ ἁγιωτάτῃ ὑμῶν πίστει ἐποικοδομοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ προσευχόμενοι
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
ὃν ἔπεμψα πρὸς ὑμᾶς εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο ἵνα γνῶτε τὰ περὶ ἡμῶν καὶ παρακαλέσῃ τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν
Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
κήρυξον τὸν λόγον ἐπίστηθι εὐκαίρως ἀκαίρως ἔλεγξον ἐπιτίμησον παρακάλεσον ἐν πάσῃ μακροθυμίᾳ καὶ διδαχῇ
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
ἄρα οὖν τὰ τῆς εἰρήνης διώκωμεν καὶ τὰ τῆς οἰκοδομῆς τῆς εἰς ἀλλήλους
Let us follow therefore after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
ἀντεχόμενον τοῦ κατὰ τὴν διδαχὴν πιστοῦ λόγου ἵνα δυνατὸς ᾖ καὶ παρακαλεῖν ἐν τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ τῇ ὑγιαινούσῃ καὶ τοὺς ἀντιλέγοντας ἐλέγχειν
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Τί οὖν ἐστιν ἀδελφοί ὅταν συνέρχησθε ἕκαστος ὑμῶν ψαλμὸν ἔχει διδαχὴν ἔχει γλῶσσαν ἔχει ἀποκάλυψιν ἔχει ἑρμηνείαν ἔχει· πάντα πρὸς οἰκοδομὴν γενέσθω
How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
δύνασθε γὰρ καθ' ἕνα πάντες προφητεύειν ἵνα πάντες μανθάνωσιν καὶ πάντες παρακαλῶνται
For ye may all prophesy one one, by that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
ὁ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ ἑαυτὸν οἰκοδομεῖ· ὁ δὲ προφητεύων ἐκκλησίαν οἰκοδομεῖ
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
Διὸ παρακαλεῖτε ἀλλήλους καὶ οἰκοδομεῖτε εἷς τὸν ἕνα καθὼς καὶ ποιεῖτε
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
ἡ γὰρ παράκλησις ἡμῶν οὐκ ἐκ πλάνης οὐδὲ ἐξ ἀκαθαρσίας οὐτὲ ἐν δόλῳ
For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
δούλους ἰδίοις δεσπόταις ὑποτάσσεσθαι ἐν πᾶσιν εὐαρέστους εἶναι μὴ ἀντιλέγοντας
Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
Πάντα μοι ἔξεστιν ἀλλ' οὐ πάντα συμφέρει· πάντα μοί ἔξεστιν ἀλλ' οὐ πάντα οἰκοδομεῖ
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
Ταῦτα λάλει καὶ παρακάλει καὶ ἔλεγχε μετὰ πάσης ἐπιταγῆς· μηδείς σου περιφρονείτω
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
Παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς ἀδελφοί ἀνέχεσθε τοῦ λόγου τῆς παρακλήσεως καὶ γὰρ διὰ βραχέων ἐπέστειλα ὑμῖν
And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.
μετὰ δὲ τὴν ἀνάγνωσιν τοῦ νόμου καὶ τῶν προφητῶν ἀπέστειλαν οἱ ἀρχισυνάγωγοι πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγοντες Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί εἴ ἐστιν λόγος ἐν ὑμῖν παρακλήσεως πρὸς τὸν λαόν λέγετε
And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers the of synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
καὶ ἐπέμψαμεν Τιμόθεον τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν καὶ διάκονον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ συνεργὸν ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ εἰς τὸ στηρίξαι ὑμᾶς καὶ παρακαλέσαι ὑμᾶς περὶ τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν
And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
