Gill's Exposition on 1 Corinthians 1:5

That in everything ye are enriched by him,.... This is still a continuation of the thanksgiving for this church, that they were "enriched", or plentifully and abundantly provided for by Christ, with

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Corinthians 1:5

That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; Utterance. Billroth translates, doctrine. Ye are rich in preaching of the Word, and in knowledge of it.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Corinthians 1:5

In every thing; in every grace and in every good gift, (for he is manifestly speaking of spiritual things), so as this general particle must not be extended to the things of this life, but restrained either to spiritual gifts, or spiritual, sanctifying habits. Thus we read of the riches of grace, , and of the riches of Christ, : nor is the metaphor improper, whether we consider riches as signifying plenty or abundance, or that which accommodateth a man in this life, and is fitted to men’ s wants, to give them a supply. In all utterance; the word may be translated, in everything, or, in all speech; but the first having been said before, it seems more proper here to translate it, in all word or speech, or in all utterance, as we translate it. If it be taken in the first sense, the gospel is by it understood, the doctrine of the gospel preached amongst them by Paul and Apollos, who preached among the Gentiles the riches of Christ, . If we interpret it utterance, which our translators prefer, it signifies an ability to utter that knowledge which God hath given us, to the glory of God and the good of others, either in prayer or spiritual discourses. And in all knowledge: some by knowledge here understand the gift of prophecy; but it more properly signifies the ability God had given them to comprehend in their understanding the mysteries of the gospel, the great and deep things of God. The apostle blesseth God both for the illumination of their minds by the ministry of the gospel, so as they knew the things of God, and also for the ability which God had given them to communicate this their knowledge to others.

Trapp's Commentary on 1 Corinthians 1:5

5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; Ver. 5. Ye are enriched] See here what is the Christian’ s riches. And so David reckons of his wealth, Psalms 119:32. He cannot be poor in whom the word of God dwells richly, Colossians 3:16, especially if he be free of discourse, able and willing to communicate. A dumb Christian is to be blamed, as well as a dumb minister.

Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Corinthians 1:5

(5) Ye are enriched.—Literally, ye were enriched. “Utterance” is the power of outward expression of that “knowledge” which dwells within.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Corinthians 1:5

Verse 5. Ye are enriched - ye abound - in all utterance] ενπαντιλογω, In all doctrine; for so the word should certainly be translated and understood. All the truths of God relative to their salvation had been explicitly declared to them; and they had all knowledge; so that they perfectly comprehended the doctrines which they had heard.

Cambridge Bible on 1 Corinthians 1:5

5. in every thing ye are enriched] Rather, Ye were enriched, i.e. at your baptism, when you entered into the covenant-union with Christ. The gifts of utterance, knowledge and the like, were the result of the favour of God towards you. It appears evident from the rest of the Epistle that the Apostle was thinking rather of the powers conveyed to the Corinthians by their translation into Christ, than of the use they had made of them. The Corinthians as a body were not as yet remarkable for their Christian knowledge, though many individuals had no doubt made great spiritual progress.in all utterance] Literally, speech, discourse.

Barnes' Notes on 1 Corinthians 1:5

That in every thing - In every respect, or in regard to all the favors conferred on any of his people. You have been distinguished by him in all those respects in which he blesses his own children.

Whedon's Commentary on 1 Corinthians 1:5

5. Every thing—Every respect. Utterance—Preaching, prophesying, and tongues. Knowledge—The perception of sacred doctrines, the discerning of spirits, and the interpretation of charismatic tongues.
