For God shall bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
All Commentaries on Ecclesiastes 12:14 Go To Ecclesiastes 12
Athanasius the Apostolic
AD 373
Consider how grave an error it is to call God’s Word a work. Solomon says in one place in Ecclesiastes that “God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.” If then the Word is a work, do you mean that he as well as others will be brought into judgment? And what room is there for judgment, when the Judge is on trial? Who will give to the just their blessing, who to the unworthy their punishment, the Lord, as you must suppose, standing on trial with the rest? By what law shall he, the Lawgiver, himself be judged?
