They will face a reckoning before Jesus Christ who stands ready to judge the living and the dead.

When he was maligned, he did not answer back; when he suffered, he threatened no retaliation, but committed himself to God who judges justly.

Now it was for this very purpose that the gospel was preached to those who are now dead, so that though they were judged in the flesh by human standards they may live spiritually by God’s standards.

And if you address as Father the one who impartially judges according to each one’s work, live out the time of your temporary residence here in reverence.
