“So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:”
Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you await eagerly for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed — the Corinthians possess 'every spiritual gift' (charisma), yet they are still 'awaiting' (apekdechomenai) Christ's revelation. The tension is crucial: abundance of gifts now does not mean maturity or wisdom; eschatological completion is still future. This corrects any triumphalism.
