• But He is ready to judge, not those even now associated with Him, but "living and dead" who disbelieved and despised Him. He brings salvation to those, judgment to these. How the word of God sweeps away, not doubt only, but delay "My lord delayeth" is the heart's language of mere professors. How sad that believers should plead excuses for the unbelief which our Lord stigmatizes! True hearts love His appearing and would rather hasten the day, solemn as it is. (“1 Peter 4:1-6” by W. Kelly)
• Christ glorified, as we saw at the close of the previous chapter, was ready to judge; and they who were exasperated against the Christians, and who were led by their own passions, without caring for the coming judgment, would have to give account to that Judge whom they refused to own as Savior.

who shall render account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

W. Kelly Translation

who shall render account to him that is ready to judge living and deada.

WK Translation Notes

a
Why add "the" to "living" and "dead?" Is it not equally good in English as in Greek? The addition of "the" makes judgment universal; whereas Scripture contrasts it with eternal life and salvation.
