Adam Clarke
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.
