1 Corinthians 14:17
For your giving of the blessing is certainly well done, but of no profit to the man without knowledge.

1 Corinthians 14:6
But, now, my brothers, if I come to you using tongues, what profit will it be to you, if I do not give you a revelation, or knowledge, or the word of the prophet, or teaching?
1 Corinthians 14:13
For this reason, let the man who has the power of using tongues make request that he may, at the same time, be able to give the sense.
1 Corinthians 14:14
For if I make use of tongues in my prayers, my spirit makes the prayer, but not my mind.
1 Corinthians 14:15
What then? let my prayer be from the spirit, and equally from the mind; let my song be from the spirit, and equally from mind.
1 Corinthians 14:16
For if you give a blessing with the spirit, how will the man who has no knowledge say, So be it, after your prayer, seeing that he has not taken in what you are saying?
1 Corinthians 14:17
For your giving of the blessing is certainly well done, but of no profit to the man without knowledge.
1 Corinthians 14:18
I give praise to God that I am able to make use of tongues more than you all:
1 Corinthians 14:19
But in the church it would be better for me to make use of five words of which the sense was clear, so that others might have profit, than ten thousand words in a strange tongue.

1 Corinthians 14:12
So if you are desiring the things which the Spirit gives, let your minds be turned first to the things which are for the good of the church.
1 Corinthians 14:26
What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.
1 Corinthians 14:3
But the word of the prophet gives men knowledge and comfort and strength.
1 Corinthians 14:4
He who makes use of tongues may do good to himself; but he who gives the prophet's word does good to the church.
1 Corinthians 14:5
Now though it is my desire for you all to have the power of tongues, it would give me more pleasure to be hearing the prophet's word from you; for this is a greater thing than using tongues, if the sense is not given at the same time, for the good of the church.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
So then, go on comforting and building up one another, as you have been doing.
Romans 14:19
So then, let us go after the things which make peace, and the things by which we may be a help to one another.
Romans 15:2
Let every one of us give pleasure to his neighbour for his good, to make him strong.
1 Corinthians 8:1
Now about things offered to images: we all seem to ourselves to have knowledge. Knowledge gives pride, but love gives true strength.
Ephesians 4:29
Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.
1 Timothy 1:4
Or to give attention to stories and long lists of generations, from which come questionings and doubts, in place of God's ordered way of life which is in faith;
-----

In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.
