Romans 2:12-18 All who sin without having the Law will perish without regard to the Law, and all who sin under the Law will be judged by the Law.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² All who sin without having the Law will perish without regard to the Law, and all who sin under the Law will be judged by the Law. ¹³ For merely hearing the Law read does not make a man upright in the sight of God; men must obey the Law to be made upright. ¹⁴ When heathen who have no Law instinctively obey what the Law demands, even though they have no law they are a law to themselves, ¹⁵ for they show that what the Law demands is written on their hearts, and their consciences will testify for them, and with their thoughts they will either accuse or perhaps defend themselves, ¹⁶ on that Day when, as the good news I preach teaches, God through Christ Jesus judges what men have kept secret, ¹⁷ Suppose you call yourself a Jew, and rely on law, and boast about God, ¹⁸ and can understand his will, and from hearing the Law read can tell what is right,
