1 Peter 4:5

“Who shall give account to him, etc.] “To God himself”, as the Syriac version reads; of all their blasphemies, and hard speeches spoken by them against God, Christ, the Gospel, and good men, and receive their just punishment. This the apostle says, to calm the minds of God's people, and make them to sit easy under all censures, reproaches, and calumnies, and not think of avenging themselves, but commit themselves to him that will judge righteously; even to him, that is ready to judge the quick and the dead; that is, all men, such as will be found alive when he comes, and those that have died before, who will then be raised from the dead, to receive their judgment; and by whom is meant the…”

“They who now call you to account falsely, shall have to give account themselves for this very evil-speaking (Jde 1:15), and be condemned justly. ready--very speedily (Pe1 4:7; Pe2 3:10). Christ's coming is to the believer always near.”

That is ready to judge - That is, “who is prepared to judge” - τῷ ἑτοίμως ἔχοντι tō hetoimōs echonti.
