Romans 2

Romans 2When the Gentiles sin, they will be destroyed, even though they never had God’s written law. And the Jews, who do have God’s law, will be judged by that law when they fail to obey it.

13For merely listening to the law doesn’t make us right with God. It is obeying the law that makes us right in his sight.

14Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it.

15They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right.

16And this is the message I proclaim—that the day is coming when God, through Christ Jesus, will judge everyone’s secret life.
