“Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ — 'firm' (bebaioō) and 'blameless' (anegklētos) are Paul's prayer, not the Corinthians' achievement. The final judgment will reveal who built with gold, silver, stone versus wood, hay, straw (ch. 3). Standing firm depends on Christ's faithfulness, not human moral attainment.
