Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 14:12

12. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God .

Here you have the End of our standing before the Iudgment-Seat of Christ, which is to give an Account, vid. Mat. 12.36. 1 Pet. 4.5. He saith, Every one of us shall give an account, whether he be Great or Small. Strong or Weak; and that he shall give an account of himself, i. e. Of his own Actions, and not anothers. He shall give an 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. Obj. Pastors must give an account for their Flock, Heb. 13.17. A. Pastors shall give an account of their Negligence, and want of Care, whereby they suffered their Sheep or Flock to miscarry; but every particular Sheep also shall give an account of his own personal Wandrings.
