12 For all who have sinned without law will also perish without law; and all who have sinned under law will be judged by law. 13 For it is not the hearers of law who are righteous in the eyes of God; nay, it is the doers of law who will be accounted righteous. 14 For when Gentiles, who have no law, obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they even though they have no law, are a law to themselves.
