'Account' in the Bible

In this you rejoice greatly, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials,

Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation.

and the Lord God sanctify in your hearts. And be ready always for defence to every one who is asking of you an account concerning the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.

If you are reviled on account of the name of Christ, [you are] blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

By Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I account him , I have written unto you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand ye fast therein.
