1 Pedro 4:5 Meaning and Commentary

1 Peter 4:5

Who shall give account to him
"To God himself", as the Syriac version reads; of all their blasphemies, and hard speeches spoken by them against God, Christ, the Gospel, and good men, and receive their just punishment. This the apostle says, to calm the minds of God's people, and make them to sit easy under all censures, reproaches, and calumnies, and not think of avenging themselves, but commit themselves to him that will judge righteously; even to him,

that is ready to judge the quick and the dead;
that is, all men, such as will be found alive when he comes, and those that have died before, who will then be raised from the dead, to receive their judgment; and by whom is meant the Lord Jesus Christ, to whom all judgment is committed; and who is ordained to be the Judge of quick and dead, and will judge both at his appearing and kingdom; yea, the day is appointed when this judgment will proceed by him, and he is at the door; so that he may be truly said to be ready for it, as he is every way equal to it, and will finish it with righteousness.

1 Pedro 4:5 In-Context

3 En el pasado, han tenido más que suficiente de las cosas perversas que les gusta hacer a los que no tienen a Dios: inmoralidad y pasiones sexuales, parrandas, borracheras, fiestas desenfrenadas y abominable adoración a ídolos.

4 No es de extrañarse que sus amigos de la vieja vida se sorprendan de que ustedes ya no participan en las cosas destructivas y descontroladas que ellos hacen. Por eso los calumnian,

5 pero recuerden que ellos tendrán que enfrentarse con Dios, quien juzgará a todos, tanto a vivos como a muertos.

6 Por esta razón, la Buena Noticia fue predicada a los que ahora están muertos;
aunque fueron destinados a morir como toda la gente,
ahora vivirán para siempre con Dios en el Espíritu.

7 El fin del mundo se acerca. Por consiguiente, sean serios y disciplinados en sus oraciones.
