  2. Meaning of Edification • First Mention: Acts 9:28-31: • After preaching and “disputing” (suzeteo, “examin together” the Scriptures) • Believers were “edified” (oikodomeo, “built up, block by block, established in knowledge and wisdom” • Repeated exhortation: “edify one another” not done to self, but to each other. Rom 14:19; 15:2; 8:1; Eph 4:12; 1 Thes 5:11

  3.
