For who makes you to differ from another? and what have you that you did not receive? now if you did receive it, why do you glory, as if you had not received it?
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 4:7 Go To 1 Corinthians 4
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
For who distinguisheth, or hath distinguished thee from another? He speaks particularly to those proud, vain preachers: if thou hast greater talents than another man, who hath given them to thee, or to any one, but God, who is the giver, and the author of every gift and perfection? This is not only true of the gift of preaching, but of all gifts and graces; so that St. Augustine makes use of it in several places against the Pelagians, to show that it is by grace only, that one man is preferred before another, and not by, or for his own merits.
