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.

Romans 2:12-16
American Standard Version
12 For as many as [a]have sinned without the law shall also perish without the law: and as many as [b]have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law; 13 for not the hearers of the law are [c]just before God, but the doers of the law shall be [d]justified; 14 (for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves; 15 in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and [e]their [f]thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing them); 16 in the day when God [g]shall judge the secrets of men, according to my [h]gospel, by Jesus Christ.
