True Riches are Spiritual
Commentators explain that when Paul says the Corinthians were "enriched," he's not referring to material wealth. Their true riches were spiritual, found "in him" (Christ). This abundance included specific gifts like "utterance" (the ability to speak God's truth effectively) and "knowledge" (a deep understanding of the gospel), which were evidence of God's grace.
