Exegesis
The paired purposes eis oikodomēn kai ouk eis kathairesin {εἰς οἰκοδομὴν καὶ οὐκ εἰς καθαίρεσιν | eis oi-ko-do-mḕn kaí ouk eis kathairesin} ‘for edification and not for destruction’ contrasts constructive intent with destructive potential.
In context — 2 Corinthians 13:10
For this reason, I am writing these matters in my absence, so that when I am present I may refrain from severe action, according to the authority which the Lord has entrusted to me for edification rather than destruction.
