When the son of man shall come in his majesty, accompanied with all his holy angels, he shall sit upon the throne of his glory.

besides, the father judgeth no man; but hath committed the full power of judging unto the son:

and he commanded us to publish, and to testify to the people, that he was the person whom God had constituted to be the judge of the living, and of the dead.

because he has fix'd the day, when he will judge in equity, by that man, whom he has appointed thereto: of which he has given full proof to all the world, by having raised him from the dead."

in the day, when according to my gospel, God shall judge the secret actions of men by Jesus Christ.

for to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

I have nothing more to do, but to receive the crown of virtue reserv'd for me, which the Lord, the just judge, will give me in that day: and not only to me, but to those also, who have long'd for his appearance.

Christ is your life, and when he shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.

for one thing I have in charge to tell you from the Lord, that we, who shall be found still alive at the coming of the Lord, shall not get the advance of those that are dead:

to observe these precepts, to lead an unspotted life without reproof until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ,

in expectation of that desirable happiness, the glorious appearance of the supreme God, and of our saviour Jesus Christ,

as then it is appointed that men should die but once, after which the judgment ensues;

that your faith being put to a more advantageous proof, than that of gold, which loses by the essay, may redound to your praise and highest honour at the appearance of Jesus Christ:

that when the sovereign pastor shall appear, you may carry off a glorious crown, that will never fade.

adhere to that, my dear children, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

then said he to Jesus, Lord, remember me when you enter into your kingdom.

and thus you will have a free admittance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
