1 Peter 4:5

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Stout against me, have been your words, saith Yahweh, - and yet ye say, What have we spoken, one to another, against thee?

But I say unto you, That, every useless expression that men shall utter, they shall render, concerning it, an account, in a day of judgment;

And, accosting him, he said unto him - What is this I hear of thee? Render the account of thy stewardship, for thou canst no longer be steward.

Hence, then, each one of us, of himself shall give account unto God.

But the seventh from Adam, Enoch, prophesied, even of these, saying - Lo! the Lord hath come with his holy myriads, -

For neither doth, the Father, judge anyone, - but, all the judging, hath given unto the Son:

Hence, then, each one of us, of himself shall give account unto God.
