‏ 1 Corinthians 1:7

So that ye come behind in no gift ( ωστε υμας μη υστερεισθα εν μηδεν χαρισματ ). Consecutive clause with ωστε and the infinitive and the double negative. Come behind ( υστερεισθα ) is to be late ( υστερος ), 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 ( απεκδεχομενους την αποκαλυψιν ). 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 προσδεχομενο 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).
