Berean Study Bible
Therefore
This word connects the current verse to the preceding context, where Paul commends the Corinthians for the grace given to them in Christ Jesus. The Greek word "ὥστε" (hōste) implies a conclusion or result. It suggests that because of the grace and enrichment in speech and knowledge, the Corinthians are in a state of readiness and completeness. This connection emphasizes the continuity of God's work in believers, leading to a life that reflects His gifts and calling.

you do not lack
The phrase "you do not lack" comes from the Greek "ὑστερεῖσθαι" (hystereisthai), meaning to be deficient or to fall short. Paul reassures the Corinthians that they possess all necessary spiritual resources. This is a profound encouragement, affirming that God equips His church fully for its mission and spiritual journey. Historically, this reflects the early church's understanding of being endowed with divine gifts, a concept that underscores God's provision and faithfulness.

any spiritual gift
The term "spiritual gift" is translated from "χάρισμα" (charisma), which refers to a grace-given ability or endowment. In the context of the early church, these gifts were seen as manifestations of the Holy Spirit's work among believers, intended for the edification of the church. The diversity of gifts highlights the unity and interdependence within the body of Christ, as each member contributes uniquely to the community's spiritual health and mission.

as you eagerly await
The phrase "eagerly await" is derived from the Greek "ἀπεκδεχομένους" (apekdechomenous), which conveys a sense of anticipation and longing. This reflects the early Christian hope and expectation of Christ's return. The historical context of the first-century church was marked by a vibrant eschatological hope, where believers lived in the tension of the "already" and "not yet" of God's kingdom. This anticipation fuels a life of holiness and purpose.

the revelation
"Revelation" comes from the Greek "ἀποκάλυψιν" (apokalypsin), meaning unveiling or disclosure. In the New Testament, this term often refers to the second coming of Christ, when His glory and authority will be fully revealed. This revelation is a central theme in Christian eschatology, providing hope and assurance that God's ultimate plan will be fulfilled. It calls believers to live in readiness and faithfulness.

of our Lord Jesus Christ
This phrase affirms the centrality of Jesus Christ in Christian faith and hope. "Lord" (Κύριος, Kyrios) denotes authority and divinity, while "Jesus Christ" emphasizes His role as Savior and Messiah. The historical and scriptural context underscores the early church's confession of Jesus as Lord, a declaration that set them apart in a polytheistic society. This acknowledgment of Christ's lordship is foundational to Christian identity and mission, inspiring believers to live in alignment with His will and purpose.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
(7) 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 ye 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).

Pulpit Commentary
Verse 7. - So that ye come behind in no gift. The "gifts" are here the charismata, graces, such as powers of healing, etc., which were the result of the outpouring of the Spirit. The sequel shows that they were rather outward than inward; they were splendid endowments rather than spiritual fruits. Yet even these were not wholly wanting, as we see from 2 Corinthians 8:7. The Greek may also mean "causing you not to be conscious of inferiority." Waiting; expecting, not fearing it, This was the constant attitude of the early Christians (Romans 8:19-25; Philippians 3:20; Hebrews 9:20; 1 Thessalonians 1:10; Colossians 3:4; Titus 2:13). Love for Christ's manifestation was a Christian characteristic (2 Timothy 4:8). The revelation. Three words are used to express the second advent: apokalypsis (as here and in 2 Thessalonians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:7, 13); parousia (as in Matthew 24:3, 27, etc.; 1 Thessalonians 2:19; James 5:7, 8, etc.); and epiphaneia, in the pastoral Epistles (1 Timothy 6:14; 2 Timothy 1:10; 2 Timothy 4:1-8; Titus 2:13). St. Paul, however, only uses parousia six times in 1 and 2 Thessalonians, and once in 1 Corinthians 15:23. All Christians alike expected the return of Christ very soon, and possibly in their own lifetime (1 Thessalonians 1:9, 10, etc.; 1 Corinthians 15:51; James 5:8, 9; 1 Peter 4:7; 1 John 2:18; Revelation 22:20, etc.). Their expectation was founded on the great eschatological discourse of our Lord (Matthew 24:29, 30, 34), and on his express promise that that generation should not pass away before his predictions were fulfilled. They were fulfilled in the fall of Jerusalem and the close of the old dispensation, though they await a stilt more universal fulfilment.
