Exegesis
The adversative allʼ {ἀλλʼ | allʼ} sets up a sharp contrast with the second clause, where the substantive héteros {ἕτερος | héteros} “the other person” is linked to the passive metaphor oikodomeîtai {οἰκοδομεῖται | oikodomeîtai} “is being built up.” Paul’s use of the construction frames a pastoral critique: though one speaks gratitude well, the corporate purpose of edification is frustrated when others are not “built up.”
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:17
For you indeed give thanks well, but the other person is not being built up.
