1 Corinthians 1:8

“Who shall also confirm you unto the end blessing of confirmation is not the Lord Jesus Christ, though he is <460107> antecedent to the relative “who” in this, but is not, for this confirmation is <470121> saints might be blameless in the day of Christ, and so must design some other person distinct from him, which is God the Father, (<460104>1 Corinthians 1:4), to whom the apostle gives thanks, and continues to do so unto this verse; in which he assures the saints of confirmation in grace by God, the author and giver of all grace: and which may be understood of their confirmation in the love and favour of God, from which there can be no separation; and of their establishment in the person of…”

“Who--God, Co1 1:4 (not Jesus Christ, Co1 1:7, in which case it would be "in His day"). unto the end--namely, "the coming of Christ." blameless in the day of . . . Christ-- (Th1 5:23). After that day there is no danger (Eph 4:30; Phi 1:6). Now is our day to work, and the day of our enemies to try us: then will be the day of Christ, and of His glory in the saints [BENGEL].”

“Who shall also confirm you - Who shall establish you in the hopes of the gospel.

“Who will also - if you faithfully apply to him. Confirm you to the end. In the day of Christ - Now it is our day, wherein we are to work out our salvation; then it will be eminently the day of Christ, and of his glory in the saints. 1 Corinthians 1:9”

“1:8 Even though believers are saved from eternal condemnation (see Rom 8:1), they remain accountable to God for the way they live (see 1 Cor 3:12-15; 4:4-5; 2 Cor 5:10). Paul encourages his readers to live a holy life so that they will be found faultless when Christ returns (see Phil 1:6, 10; 1 Thes 3:13; 5:23-24).”
