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
