This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Here you have the end of our standing before the judgment-seat of Christ, which is to give account: see Mat_12:36 1Pe_4:5. He saith:
Every one of us shall give account, whether he be great or small, strong or weak; and that he shall give account of himself; i.e. of his own actions, and not another’s. He shall give account of himself in his natural capacity, as a man; and in his capacity, as a rich or great man; and in his religious capacity, as one that hath enjoyed such education, such means of grace, &c.
Objection. Pastors must give account for their flock, Heb_13:17.
Answer. Pastors shall give account of their negligence, and want of care, whereby they suffered their sheep or flock to miscarry; but every particular sheep also shall give account of his own personal wanderings.
