Accountability » Accountability connected with stewardship
I tell you that for every careless thing that men say, they must answer on the 'Day of Judgment.'
And therefore the Kingdom of Heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.
That is why I send you Prophets, wise men, and Teachers of the Law, some of whom you will crucify and kill, and some of whom you will scourge in your Synagogues, and persecute from town to town;
After a long time the master of those servants returned, and settled accounts with them.
But God said to the man 'Fool! This very night your life is being demanded; and as for all you have prepared--who will have it?'
while one who does not know his master's wishes, but acts so as to deserve a flogging, will receive but few. From every one to whom much has been given much will be expected, and from the man to whom much has been entrusted the more will be demanded.
On his return, after having been appointed King, he directed that the servants to whom he had given his money should be summoned, so that he might learn what amount of trade they had done.
So, then, each one of us will have to render account of himself to God.
And, because you do not run to the same extremes of profligacy as others, they are astonished, and malign you. But they will have to answer for their conduct to him who is ready to judge both the living and the dead.

Further, God charged us to proclaim to the people, and solemnly affirm, that it is Jesus who has been appointed by God Judge of the living and the dead.
I solemnly charge you, in the sight of God and of Christ Jesus, who will one day judge the living and the dead--I charge you by his Appearing and by his Kingdom:--
Therefore do not pass judgment before the time, but wait till the Lord comes. He will throw light upon what is now dark and obscure, and will reveal the motives in men's minds; and then every one will receive due praise from God.
And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people--just as a shepherd separates sheep from goats- -
The Father himself does not judge any man, but has 'entrusted the work of judging entirely to his Son,'
Because he has fixed a day on which he intends to 'judge the world with justice,' by a man whom he has appointed--and of this he has given all men a pledge by raising this man from the dead."
On the day when God passes judgment on men's inmost lives, as the Good News that I tell declares that he will do through Christ Jesus.
I would ask the one man 'Why do you judge your Brother?' And I would ask the other 'Why do you despise your Brother?' For we shall all stand before the Bar of God.
But they will have to answer for their conduct to him who is ready to judge both the living and the dead.
Gospel » Why the gospel was preached
Since, then, Christ suffered in body, arm yourselves with the same resolve as he; for he who has suffered in body has ceased to sin, and so will live the rest of his earthly life guided, not by human passions, but by the will of God. Surely in the past you have spent time enough living as the Gentiles delight to live. For your path has lain among scenes of debauchery, licentiousness, drunkenness, revelry, hard-drinking, and profane idolatry. read more.
