What does the Bible say about godly edifying?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that godly edifying is about building up faith in Christ Jesus, focusing on Him and His work rather than on controversies or genealogies.

In 1 Timothy 1:4, Paul instructs Timothy to avoid fables and endless genealogies that lead to questions rather than godly edifying. Godly edifying is understood as building up one’s faith in the Gospel of Christ and Him crucified. Paul emphasizes the importance of focusing solely on the central message of the Gospel to strengthen believers rather than indulging in fruitless discussions or debates that can detract from the fundamental truths of Christian faith.
