Righteous Before The Lord

Proper quod, charissimi, haec exspectantes, satagite immaculati... Ilae sunt vigiliae sanctae, de quibus Dominus ait: Beati servi illi quos, cum venerit dominus, invenerit vigilantes. Vigilat namque qui se a sordibus vitiorum immunem custodit, qui, quantum in se est, cum omnibus hominibus pacem habet, qui, in seipso pace felicissima utens, omnes carnis illecebras spiritus regimini subdit. Et bene cum diceret: Satagite immaculati et inviolati inveniri, addidit ei, id est, Domino, quia ille solum perfecte mundus est, qui divino judicio mundus est. Unde in laude bonorum conjugum dicitur: Erant autem justi ambo ante Deum. Bene ante Deum, quia humana saepe judicia fallunt. Sancta Beda,  In II Epistolam Sancti Petri  Source:  Migne PL 93 83

On account of which, beloved, hoping for these things, do all to be immaculate... 1 These are the holy and vigilant ones of whom the Lord said, 'Blessed are those servants whom when the Lord comes are found vigilant.' 2 For he is vigilant who guards his cleanliness from the filth of vice, who, as much as it is in him, is at peace with every man, who in himself is in happy tranquility, all urges of the flesh subdued beneath the reign of the spirit. And when he says 'Do all to be immaculate and to be found inviolate,' he then adds, 'by Him' that is, by the Lord, because He alone is perfectly pure who in the Divine judgement is pure. Whence in praise of those joined in goodness it is said, 'They were both righteous before the Lord.' 3 And well it is said, 'Before the Lord,' because human judgement often deceives. Saint Bede, from the Commentary on the Second Letter of Peter 1 2 Pet 3.14 2 Lk 12.37 3 Lk 1.6
