Romans 2:8-16

English Standard Version

⁸ but for those who are self-seeking^[a] and ^(A)do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. ⁹ There will be tribulation and distress ^(B)for every human being who does evil, the Jew ^(C)first and also the Greek, ¹⁰ but glory and honor and ^(D)peace for everyone who does good, ^(E)the Jew first and also the Greek. ¹¹ For ^(F)God shows no partiality.

God's Judgment and the Law

¹² For all who have sinned ^(G)without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. ¹³ For ^(H)it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. ¹⁴ For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, ^(I)by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. ¹⁵ They show that the work of the law is ^(J)written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them ^16 (K)on that day when, ^(L)according to my gospel, God judges ^(M)the secrets of men ^(N)by Christ Jesus.
