Footnotes

“stand” has a double meaning here. Because it is preceded by “rest,” which means “death” in this context, we know that “stand” means to be raised from the sleep of death. Since it is followed by a reference to the final judgment, we know that “stand” also points to the fact that we must all stand before God to receive punishment or reward based on how we lived and how we responded to Jesus.
