1 Corinthians 4:7

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
World English Bible (WEB)
For{G1063} who{G5101} maketh{G1252} thee{G4571} to differ{G1252}{(G5719)} from another? and{G1161} what{G5101} hast thou{G2192}{(G5719)} that{G3739} thou didst{G2983} not{G3756} receive{G2983}{(G5627)}?{G1161} now if{G1499} thou didst receive{G2983}{(G5627)} it, why{G5101} dost thou glory{G2744}{(G5736)}, as{G5613} if thou hadst{G2983} not{G3361} received{G2983}{(G5631)} it?
Strong's King James
(7) Because who doubts you and who has what hasn't been received? But if receiving, why boast as if you hadn't received?
The F.O.G*
[7] What makes you think you're so special? Every gift you have came from יהוה! If everything you have is a gift, why do you boast as if you earned it yourself?
The F.O.G Paraphrase
for who doth make thee to differ? and what hast thou, that thou didst not receive? and if thou didst also receive, why dost thou glory as not having received?
Young's Literal Translation
