16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.



Ver. 16. According to my gospel] Which promiseth heaven to believers. This is comfort to those that are faithful in weakness, though but weak in faith. The sentence of the last day shall be but a more manifest declaration of that judgment that the Lord in this life, most an end, hath passed upon men. Heathens shall be judged by the law of nature; profligate professors by the law written, and the word preached; believers by the gospel, which saith, "If there be a willing mind, God accepteth," &c.
