Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Corinthians 1:7

"so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;" — 1 Corinthians 1:7 (ASV)

So that ye come.—Not exactly as in the English, “so that ye come behind” (or, are wanting) “in no gift,” but “the result being that you come behind others in no gift.” You have as fully as any others those spiritual gifts which sustain you and enable you to wait for the revelation (i.e., the second visible appearance, which the early Church expected would soon occur) of our Lord Jesus Christ, not with fear, or with impatience, but with a calm trustfulness (Luke 17:30; Titus 2:13).
