12 All who sin apart from the [Mosaic] law
will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be
judged by the law.
13 For it is not
those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who
obey the law who will be declared righteous.
14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have
the law,
do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for
themselves, even though they do not have the law,
15 since they show that the requirements of
the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness,
and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.)
16 This will take place on
the day when God
will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
