<p> ''''' ed ''''' - ''''' i ''''' - ''''' fi ''''' - ''''' kā´shun ''''' , ''''' ed´i ''''' - ''''' fı̄ ''''' : The Greek words οἰκοδομέω , <i> ''''' oikodoméō ''''' </i> , "to build," οἰκοδομή , <i> ''''' oikodomḗ ''''' </i> , "the act of building," are used both literally and figuratively in the New Testament; "edify," "edifying," "edification," are the translation of the King James Version in some 20 passages, all in the figurative sense of the promotion of growth in [[Christian]] character. the Revised Version (British and American) in &nbsp; 2 Corinthians 10:8; &nbsp;2 Corinthians 13:10; &nbsp;Ephesians 4:12 , &nbsp;Ephesians 4:16; &nbsp;1 Thessalonians 5:11 renders "build up," "building up," making the force of the figure clearer to the English reader. In &nbsp; 1 Timothy 1:4 the Greek text followed by the Revised Version (British and American) has οἰκονομία , <i> ''''' oikonomı́a ''''' </i> , "dispensation," instead of οἰκοδομία , <i> ''''' oikodomı́a ''''' </i> , "edifying" (the King James Version). </p>
