1 Corinthians 1:7-8
(7) So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
(8) Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1:7-8. Because it was God’s work, Paul had no question about the outcome. Because the Corinthian believers were justified by God’s grace, they would stand before Him blameless (anenkletous, “free from accusation”; cf. Col. 1:22) when Christ returns. Thus they could eagerly wait (apekdechomenous; used seven times in the NT of the return of Christ: Rom. 8:19, 23, 25; 1 Cor. 1:7; Gal. 5:5; Phil. 3:20; Heb. 9:28) for Him.
