Romans 2:12-16
Christian Standard Bible
12 For all who sin without the law(A) will also perish without the law, and all who sin under[a] the law will be judged by the law. 13 For the hearers of the law(B) are not righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified.[b] 14 So, when Gentiles, who do not by nature have the law,(C) do[c] what the law demands, they are a law to themselves even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law[d] is written on their hearts.(D) Their consciences confirm this. Their competing thoughts either accuse or even excuse them[e] 16 on the day when God judges(E) what people have kept secret, according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.(F)

Romans 2:12-16
Common English Bible
12 Those who have sinned outside the Law will also die outside the Law, and those who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law. 13 It isn’t the ones who hear the Law who are righteous in God’s eyes. It is the ones who do what the Law says who will be treated as righteous. 14 Gentiles don’t have the Law. But when they instinctively do what the Law requires they are a Law in themselves, though they don’t have the Law. 15 They show the proof of the Law written on their hearts, and their consciences affirm it. Their conflicting thoughts will accuse them, or even make a defense for them, 16 on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the hidden truth about human beings through Christ Jesus.
