3Grace to you and shalom from God our Father, and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah! 4I always thank my God for you because of God’s grace that was given to you in Messiah Yeshua. For in Him you were made rich in every way—in all speaking and all knowledge— 6just as the evidence of Messiah was confirmed among you. 7So you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you eagerly wait for the revealing of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 1:5
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5Ye are enriched - ye abound - in all utterance - ͅ, 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.Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 55. utterance--Alford from Menochius translates, "doctrine." Ye are rich in preachers or the preaching of the word, and rich in knowledge or apprehension of it: literally "(the) word (preached)."
