Their consciences also bear witness to this, for their conflicting thoughts sometimes accuse them and sometimes defend them 16 on a day when God passes judgment on people’s inmost secrets. 14 For whenever Gentiles, who have no Torah, do naturally what the Torah requires, then these, even though they don’t have Torah, for themselves are Torah! 15 For their lives show that the conduct the Torah dictates is written in their hearts.

13 For it is not merely the hearers of Torah whom God considers righteous rather, it is the doers of what Torah says who will be made righteous in God’s sight. 12 All who have sinned outside the framework of Torah will die outside the framework of Torah and all who have sinned within the framework of Torah will be judged by Torah.

8 But to those who are self-seeking, who disobey the truth and obey evil, he will pay back wrath and anger.ĩ Yes, he will pay back misery and anguish to every human being who does evil, to the Jew first, then to the Gentile 10 but glory and honor and shalom to everyone who keeps doing what is good, to the Jew first, then to the Gentile. 7 To those who seek glory, honor and immortality by perseverance in doing good, he will pay back eternal life. 5 But by your stubbornness, by your unrepentant heart, you are storing up anger for yourself on the Day of Anger, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed 6 for he will pay back each one according to his deeds. 2 We know that God’s judgment lands impartially on those who do such things 3 do you think that you, a mere man passing judgment on others who do such things, yet doing them yourself, will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or perhaps you despise the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience because you don’t realize that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to turn from your sins. 2 Therefore you have no excuse, whoever you are, passing judgment for when you judge someone else, you are passing judgment against yourself since you who are judging do the same things he does.
