Robertson: 1Co 1:7 - So that ye come behind in no gift

So that ye come behind in no gift ( hōste humas mē hustereisthai en mēdeni charismati ).

Consecutive clause with hōste and the infinitive and the double negative. Come behind (hustereisthai ) is to be late (husteros ), old verb seen already in Mar 10:21; Mat 19:20. It is a wonderful record here recorded. But in 2Co 8:7-11; 2Co 9:1-7 Paul will have to complain that they have not paid their pledges for the collection, pledges made over a year before, a very modern complaint.

Robertson: 1Co 1:7 - Waiting for the revelation

Waiting for the revelation ( apekdechomenous tēn apokalupsin ).

This double compound is late and rare outside of Paul (1Co 1:7; Gal 5:5; Rom 8:19, Rom 8:23, Rom 8:25; Phi 3:20), 1Pe 3:20; Heb 9:28. It is an eager expectancy of the second coming of Christ here termed revelation like the eagerness in prosdechomenoi in Tit 2:13 for the same event. "As if that attitude of expectation were the highest posture that can be attained here by the Christian"(F.W. Robertson).

JFB: 1Co 1:7 - waiting for . . . coming of . . . Christ

The crowning proof of their "coming behind in no gift." Faith, hope, and love, are all exercised herein (compare 2Ti 4:8; Tit 2:13). "Leaving to others their MEMENTO MORI (remember death), do thou earnestly cherish this joyous expectation of the Lord's coming" [BENGEL]. The Greek verb implies, "to expect constantly, not only for a certain time, but even to the end till the expected event happens" (Rom 8:19, [TITTMANN, Greek Synonyms of the New Testament]).

Clarke: 1Co 1:7 - So that ye come behind in no gift

So that ye come behind in no gift - Every gift and grace of God’ s Spirit was possessed by the members of that Church, some having their gifts after this manner, others after that

Clarke: 1Co 1:7 - Waiting for the coming of our Lord

Waiting for the coming of our Lord - It is difficult to say whether the apostle means the final judgment, or our Lord’ s coming to destroy Jerusalem, and make an end of the Jewish polity. - See 1Th 3:13. As he does not explain himself particularly, he must refer to a subject with which they were well acquainted. As the Jews in general continued to contradict and blaspheme, it is no wonder if the apostle should be directed to point out to the believing Gentiles that the judgments of God were speedily to fall upon this rebellious people, and scatter them over the face of the earth; which shortly afterwards took place.

Calvin: 1Co 1:7 - So that ye come behind in no gift

7.So that ye come behind in no gift ̔Υστερεισθαι means to be in want of what you would otherwise stand in need of. ⁴⁹ He means, therefore, that the Corinthians abound in all the gifts of God, so as not to be in want of anything, as if he had said, “The Lord has not merely honored you with the light of the gospel, but has eminently endowed you with all those graces that may be of service to the saints for helping them forward in the way of salvation.” For he gives the name of gifts (χαρίσματα) to those spiritual graces that are, as it were, means of salvation to the saints. But it is objected, on the other hand, that the saints are never in such abundance as not to feel in want of graces to some extent, so that they must always of necessity be “ hungering and thirsting ” (Mat 5:6.) For where is the man that does not come far short of perfection? I answer, “As they are sufficiently endowed with needful gifts, and are never in such destitution but that the Lord seasonably relieves their need; Paul on this ground ascribes to them such wealth.” For the same reason he adds: waiting for the manifestation, meaning, that he does not ascribe to them such abundance as to leave nothing to be desired; but merely as much as will suffice, until they shall have arrived at perfection. The participle waiting I understand in this sense, “In the meantime while you are waiting.” Thus the meaning will be, “So that ye are in want of no gift in the meantime while you are waiting for the day of perfected revelation, by which Christ our wisdom (1Co 1:30) will be fully manifested.”

Poole: 1Co 1:7

Not that every one of them was filled with all the gifts of the blessed Spirit; but one excelled in one gift, another excelled in another, as the apostle expounds himself, 1Co 12:7,8 ; neither doth the apostle assert them perfect in their gifts, but saith that they came behind-hand, or were defective, in no gift; but were all waiting for the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to judgment, of which he mindeth them, to encourage them to go on as they had began.

Gill: 1Co 1:7 - So that ye come behind in no gift // waiting for the coming // of our Lord Jesus Christ

So that ye come behind in no gift,.... Ordinary or extraordinary; a detail of the gifts which were bestowed on them is made in 1Co 12:8; by which it appears that they were not inferior in gifts to any of the churches:

waiting for the coming; or "the revelation"

of our Lord Jesus Christ; who will appear a second time, come in great glory, will raise the dead, and judge both quick and dead; when gifts will cease and be of no more use, and when they must all be accounted for; and therefore, till that time comes, should be diligently made use of, and improved to the interest and service of Christ; who will surely come again, and call his servants and churches to an account for the talents he has intrusted them with; and whose coming is to be believed, loved, looked, and hoped for by all, that love him in sincerity and truth.
