Spiritual gifts, as outlined in <a href="/1_corinthians/12.htm">1 Corinthians 12</a>, include wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, prophecy, and tongues, among others. These gifts were given for the edification of the church and the spread of the Gospel. The phrase underscores the completeness and sufficiency of God's provision for the church's needs. The abundance of spiritual gifts in Corinth also highlights the diversity within the body of Christ, as each member contributes uniquely to the community's spiritual health.as you eagerly await The early Christians lived with a sense of expectancy for the return of Jesus Christ. This anticipation was not passive but active, influencing their daily lives and decisions. The Greek word used here for "eagerly await" conveys a sense of intense anticipation and longing. This expectation is a recurring theme in the New Testament, encouraging believers to live holy and godly lives (<a href="/2_peter/3-11.htm">2 Peter 3:11-12</a>) and to be watchful and prepared (<a href="/matthew/24-42.htm">Matthew 24:42-44</a>).the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ The "revelation" refers to the second coming of Christ, a central tenet of Christian eschatology. This event is described in various passages, such as <a href="/1_thessalonians/4-16.htm">1 Thessalonians 4:16-17</a> and <a href="/revelation/1-7.htm">Revelation 1:7</a>, where Christ returns in glory and power. The term "revelation" (Greek: apokalypsis) implies an unveiling or disclosure of what is hidden. For believers, this will be a time of vindication and fulfillment of God's promises. The anticipation of this revelation serves as a motivation for holy living and perseverance in faith, as believers look forward to the ultimate redemption and restoration of all things.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/paul_the_apostle.htm">Paul the Apostle</a> The author of the letter, addressing the church in Corinth.
