Who shall judge (tou mellontos krinein). “The one going or about to judge” (regular idiom with mellō). The quick and the dead (zōntas kai nekrous). “Living and dead.” See 1Th 4:16.
And by his appearing (kai tēn epiphaneian). Accusative of conjuration (verbs of swearing), after diamarturomai as is basileian (by his kingdom). See note on 1Th 5:27. For epiphaneian, see note on 1Th 1:10; Tit 2:13; 1Ti 6:14; 2Th 2:8.
