1 Corinthians 1:7
Compare all
5 that you were enriched in everything by Him ain all utterance and all knowledge,  
6 even as athe testimony of Christ was confirmed1 in you,  
7 so that you come short in no gift, eagerly awaiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,  
8 awho will also confirm you to the end, bthat you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.  
9 aGod is faithful, by whom you were called into bthe fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.  

Sectarianism Is Sin

10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, athat you all speak the same thing, and that there be no2 divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.  
11 For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.

1 Corinthians 1:7

ye come behind—are inferior to other Christians elsewhere [GROTIUS].

in no gift—not that all had all gifts, but different persons among them had different gifts (I Corinthians 12:4, etc.).

waiting for . . . coming of . . . Christ—The crowning proof of their "coming behind in no gift." Faith, hope, and love, are all exercised herein (compare II Timothy 4:8; Titus 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" (Romans 8:19, [TITTMANN, Greek Synonyms of the New Testament]).
