Exegesis
The climactic clause panta pros oikodomēn ginesthō {πάντα πρὸς οἰκοδομὴν γινέσθω | pánta pròs oikodomḗn ginésthō} uses panta as the subject and the present imperative ginesthō to issue an ongoing directive: everything that occurs in the gathering is to be oriented “toward edification.” The preposition pros marks purpose or goal, so the translations render this as “for edification” and “building up the group,” making explicit the communal aim that governs all the previously listed activities.
