So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Read Chapter 14
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
Since we are not going to give account of each other, says Paul, let us not condemn one another over the issues mentioned above. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
I have replied, dearest son, to your letter, so far as my poor ability prevailed; and I have shown, as far as I could, what I think; prescribing to no one, so as to prevent any prelate from determining what he thinks right, as he shall give an account of his own doings to the Lord, according to what the blessed Apostle Paul in his Epistle to the Romans writes and says: "Every one of us shall give account for himself: let us not therefore judge one another."
If we ask the Lord to forgive us we should also forgive, for we stand before the eyes of the Lord God, and “we must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ,” and “each must give account of himself.”
