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.  
12 Now I say this, that aeach of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of bApollos,” or “I am of cCephas,” or “I am of Christ.”  
13 aIs Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?  
14 I thank God that I baptized anone of you except bCrispus and cGaius,  
15 lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name.
16 Yes, I also baptized the household of aStephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.  
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, anot with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.  

Christ the Power and Wisdom of God

18 For the1 message of the cross is afoolishness to bthose who are perishing, but to us cwho are being saved it is the dpower of God.  
19 For it is written:
a“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”  
20 aWhere is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the1 disputer of this age? bHas not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?  
21 For since, in the awisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.  
22 For aJews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;  
23 but we preach Christ crucified, ato the Jews a stumbling block and to the2 Greeks bfoolishness,  
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ athe power of God and bthe wisdom of God.  
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Glory Only in the Lord

26 For1 you see your calling, brethren, athat not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many2 noble, are called.  
27 But aGod has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;  
28 and the1 base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,  
29 that no flesh should glory in His presence.
30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and arighteousness and sanctification and redemption—  
31 that, as it is written, a“He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”

1 Corinthians 1:7

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.

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 I Thessalonians 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.
