Barnes' Notes
The testimony of Christ. The gospel. It is here called "the testimony of Christ," because it bore witness to Christ--to his Divine nature, his miracles, his Messiahship, his character, his death, etc. The message of the gospel consists in bearing witness to Christ and his work. See 1Cor 15:1-4, 2Ti 1:8.
Was confirmed. Was established, or proved. It was proved to be Divine, by the miraculous attestations of the Holy Spirit. It was confirmed, or made certain to their souls, by the agency of the Holy Spirit, sealing it on their hearts. The word translated confirmed, εβεβαιωθη is used in the sense of establishing, confirming, or demonstrating by miracles, etc., in Mk 16:20, Compare Heb 13:9, Php 1:7.
In you. ενυμιν. Among you as a people, or in your hearts. Perhaps the apostle intends to include both. The gospel had been established among them by the demonstrations of the agency of the Spirit in the gift of tongues, and had at the same time taken deep root in their hearts, and was exerting a practical influence on their lives.
