Edification » Is the object of » Ministerial gifts
Even so ye - forasmuch as ye covet spiritual gifts - seek that ye may have plenty unto the edifying of the congregation.
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men, to edifying, to exhortation, and to comfort. He that speaketh with tongues, profiteth himself: he that prophesieth, edifieth the congregation. I would that ye all spake with tongues: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues, except he expound it also, that the congregation may have edifying.
