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
New American Standard Bible

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.
