This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Who shall give account to him; of their evil speaking as well as of other sins, Jud_1:15; it is a metaphor taken from stewards giving account to their masters, Mat_18:23 Luk_16:2.



That is ready; not only prepared for it, but at hand to do it, Jam_5:9.



To judge the quick and the dead; those that shall be alive at Christ’s coming, and those that died before, but then shall be raised, and brought to judgment. Hereby he intimates, for their comfort, that though their enemies and ill-willers might outlive them, yet they shall not escape God’s judgment.
