Exegesis
The following phrase tēs eis allēlous {τῆς εἰς ἀλλήλους | tês eis allḗlous} has the article tēs turning the prepositional phrase eis allēlous into an attributive qualifier of oikodomēs, specifying the direction of that edification as being “for one another,” that is, mutually oriented within the community. Syntactically, the single subjunctive verb governs both accusative objects, producing a balanced structure that binds together peace and mutual edification as inseparable pursuits. In English, this is best reflected by maintaining the parallelism (“the things that make for peace … and the things of edification”) while making explicit the relational aim (“for one another”), preserving both the logical force of the exhortation and its communal focus.
Root and etymology
heisepsilon–iota–sigma
“not one, no person”
In context — Romans 14:19
Therefore then, let us pursue the things that make for peace and the things of edification for one another.
