# What do you have that you did not receive?
|
|
|

Paul uses this question to emphasize that they did not earn the things they have. Alternate translation: "Everything that you have is what you have received." or "God gave to you everything that you have!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

# why do you boast as if you did not receive it?
|
