I charge thee (diamarturomai). Rather, "I testify." See I Thessalonians 4:6. See I Timothy 5:21 for this verb and appeal to God and Christ.
Who shall judge (tou mellontov krinein). "The one going or about to judge" (regular idiom with mellw). The quick and the dead (zwntav kai nekrouv). "Living and dead." See I Thessalonians 4:16 f.
And by his appearing (kai thn epifaneian). Accusative of conjuration (verbs of swearing), after diamarturomai as is basileian (by his kingdom). See I Thessalonians 5:27. For epifaneian, see II Timothy 1:10; Titus 2:13; I Timothy 6:14; II Thessalonians 2:8.
