6In this way, the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you, 7so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 1:8

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 8Who shall - confirm you - As the testimony of Christ was confirmed among you, so, in conscientiously believing and obeying, God will confirm you through that testimony. See 1 Corinthians 1:6. In the day of our Lord Jesus - In the day that he comes to judge the world, according to some; but, in the day in which he comes to destroy the Jewish polity, according to others. While God destroys them who are disobedient, he can save you who believe.Read the comment

Paul urges his readers to live a holy life in order to be blameless when Christ returns (see Philippians 1:6, 10; 1 Thessalonians 3:13; 5:23–24).Read the comment

Who--God, 1Co 1:4 (not Jesus Christ, 1Co 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--(1Th 5:23). After that day there is no danger (Ep 4:30; Php 1:6).
