SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:7
de tal manera que nada os falte en ningn don, esperando la manifestacin del Seor nuestro, Jess, el Cristo;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 1:7
Verse 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 1 Thess. iii. 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - All Christians are by baptism dedicated and devoted to Christ, and ar under strict obligations to be holy. But in the true church of God ar all who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, and wh call upon him as God manifest in the flesh, for all the blessings of salvation; who acknowledge and obey him as their Lord, and as Lord of all; it includes no other persons. Christians are distinguished from the profane and atheists, that they dare not live without prayer; an they are distinguished from Jews and pagans, that they call on the nam of Christ. Observe how often in these verses the apostle repeats the words, Our Lord Jesus Christ. He feared not to make too frequent or to honourable mention of him. To all who called upon Christ, the apostl gave his usual salutation, desiring, in their behalf, the pardonin mercy, sanctifying grace, and comforting peace of God, through Jesu Christ. Sinners can have no peace with God, nor any from him, but through Christ. He gives thanks for their conversion to the faith of Christ; that grace was given them by Jesus Christ. They had bee enriched by him with all spiritual gifts. He speaks of utterance an knowledge. And where God has given these two gifts, he has given grea power for usefulness. These were gifts of the Holy Ghost, by which God bore witness to the apostles. Those that wait for the coming of ou Lord Jesus Christ, will be kept by him to the end; and those that ar so, will be blameless in the day of Christ, made so by rich and fre grace. How glorious are the hopes of such a privilege; to be kept by the power of Christ, from the power of our corruptions and Satan' temptations!

Vincent's NT Word Studies
7. Come behind (ustereisqai). See on Luke xv. 14, and compare Rom. iii. 23. Contrast with were enriched.Gift (carismati). See on Rom. i. 11. Its prevailing sense in this epistle is that of special spiritual endowments, such as tongues, prophecy, etc. Here of spiritual blessings generally.
Waiting (apekdecomenouv). See on Rom. viii. 19. Denoting assiduous waiting. Dr. Thayer compares the phrase wait it out (ek).
Revelation (apokaluyin). See on Apoc. i. 1.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
1:7 {So that ye come behind in no gift} (hwste humas me hustereisqai en medeni carismati). Consecutive clause with hwste and the infinitive and the double negative. Come behind (hustereisqai) is to be late (husteros), old verb seen already in #Mr 10:21; Mt 19:20. It is a wonderful record here recorded. But in #2Co 8:7-11; 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. {Waiting for the revelation} (apekdecomenous ten apokaluyin). this double compound is late and rare outside of Paul (#1Co 1:7; Ga 5:5; Ro 8:19,23,25; Php 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 prosdecomenoi 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).
