He will sustain you
The phrase "He will sustain you" speaks to the assurance and faithfulness of God. The Greek word used here is "βεβαιώσει" (bebaiosei), which means to confirm, establish, or make firm. This reflects the unwavering support and strength that God provides to believers. Historically, this assurance would have been particularly comforting to the early Corinthian church, which faced numerous challenges and temptations. The promise of divine sustenance underscores the belief that God is actively involved in the lives of His followers, providing them with the necessary strength to persevere in their faith journey.

to the end
The phrase "to the end" emphasizes the completeness and duration of God's sustaining power. The Greek word "τέλος" (telos) signifies not just an end point, but a goal or purpose. This suggests that God's support is not temporary or conditional but is intended to carry believers through their entire spiritual journey until they reach their ultimate purpose in Christ. In a historical context, this would have been a powerful reminder to the Corinthians of the eternal nature of their salvation and the ongoing work of God in their lives.

so that you will be blameless
"Blameless" is translated from the Greek word "ἀνέγκλητος" (anegklētos), meaning unaccused or irreproachable. This term conveys the idea of being free from guilt or blame in the eyes of God. In the scriptural context, it reflects the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice, which cleanses believers and presents them as righteous before God. For the Corinthians, who struggled with moral and ethical issues, this promise of being made blameless would have been both a challenge and an encouragement to live lives that reflect their calling in Christ.

on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ
This phrase refers to the eschatological "day of our Lord Jesus Christ," a time of final judgment and fulfillment of God's promises. The "day" is a recurring theme in the New Testament, symbolizing the culmination of history and the establishment of God's kingdom. For the early church, this was a source of hope and motivation, as it pointed to the ultimate vindication and reward for those who remain faithful. The historical and scriptural context of this phrase underscores the anticipation of Christ's return and the assurance of eternal life for believers.

(8) Who.--The use of the words "day of our Lord Jesus Christ," instead of "His day," has been regarded by some as a sufficient evidence that "who" does not refer to Christ. This by itself would scarcely be so, for there are examples elsewhere of St. Paul using our Lord's name where the possessive pronoun would have seemed more natural (Ephesians 4:12; Colossians 2:11). The general sense of the passage, however, and especially of the following verse, shows that the antecedent to "who" is not "Christ," in 1Corinthians 1:7, but "God," in 1Corinthians 1:4.

Three distinct periods are referred to in these verses--(1) the time when the grace of God was given them (1Corinthians 1:4); (2) the present time while they wait for the coming of the Lord Jesus, endowed as they are with the qualities described in 1Corinthians 1:5-7; and (3) the day of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is still future--if preserved blameless until that, then they are finally and for ever safe; and that they will be so preserved by God the Apostle has no doubt, for the reason stated in the next verse. (See 1Corinthians 4:3.) . . .

Verse 8. - Who; clearly Christ, though his Name is again repeated in the next clause. Shall also confirm you. This natural expression of the apostle's yearning hope for them must not be overpressed into any such doctrine as "the indefectibility of grace." All honest and earnest students must resist the tendency to strain the meaning of Scripture texts into endless logical inferences which were never intended to be deduced from them. Unto the end; namely, to the end of "this age," and to the coming of Christ (Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 3:6, 13; Hebrews 6:11). That ye be unreprovable; rather, unimpeached (anenkletous), as in Colossians 1:22; 1 Timothy 3:18; Titus 1:6. It is not the word rendered "blameless" (amemptos) in Philippianws 2:15 or in 2 Peter 3:14. A Christian can only be "blameless," not as being sinless, but as having been forgiven, renewed, sanctified (1 Corinthians 6:11; Romans 8:30). In the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the same as the apokalypsis or parousia. It is sometimes called simply "the day" (comp. 1 Corinthians 3:13; Acts 1:20; Joel 3:4; 2 Thessalonians 1:10; Revelation 6:17).
