²³ When they had set a day for ^[a]Paul, people came to him at ^(A)his lodging in large numbers; and he was explaining to them by solemnly ^(B)testifying about the kingdom of God and trying to persuade them concerning Jesus, ^(C)from both the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.

¹² For all who have sinned ^[a](A)without the Law will also perish ^[b]without the Law, and all who have sinned ^[c]under the Law will be judged ^[d]by the Law; ¹³ for it is ^(B)not the hearers ^[e]of the Law who are ^[f]righteous before God, but the doers ^[g]of the Law who will be justified. ¹⁴ For when Gentiles who do not have ^[h]the Law ^[i](C)instinctively perform the requirements of the Law, these, though not having ^[j]the Law, are a law to themselves, ¹⁵ in that they show ^(D)the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, ¹⁶ on the day when, ^(E)according to my gospel, ^(F)God will judge the secrets of mankind through Christ Jesus.
