“And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:”
King James Version (KJV)
1:17 Who judgeth according to every man's work - According to the tenor of his life and conversation. Pass the time of your sojourning - Your short abode on earth. In humble, loving fear - The proper companion and guard of hope.
1Pe 1:17 If ye call on the Father. In prayer and worship. All call upon him who pray. Who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work. He judges us and all men according to the deeds, not station or race. Hence, those who seek his blessings and promises show a reverential fear. That is the first reason given for being holy. Pass the time of your sojourning [here] in fear. The whole life is a period of sojourning on the earth.
