| Acts 10:42
| And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who hath been appointed by God to be judge of the living and of the dead.
| The living and of the dead. This may be understood of the elect, who live by grace, and the reprobate, who are spiritually dead; or perhaps more literally, of those who shall be found living upon earth at the second coming of Christ, and of all who have died from the commencement of the world to the end of time. (St. Augustine, Enchirid[].)
