Hebrews Study Notes—Chapter 4

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 4:13
  
  the one to whom we must give an account: This expression may suggest a word picture of a man settling accounts with those under his authority. (Compare Mt 18:23; 25:19; Lu 16:2, where the Greek word here rendered “account” conveys a similar idea.) God is the one to whom all humans must answer for what they do. (Ps 62:12; Pr 24:12; Ec 12:13, 14; Ro 2:6; 14:12; 2Th 1:7-9; 1Pe 1:17; 4:5) Of course, Paul did not mean that Jehovah watches Christians with the intention of punishing them for their mistakes. Instead, he observes his people with loving concern and with a keen desire to reward them.—Pr 19:17; Isa 40:10; Mt 6:4, 6; Heb 11:6.
