Romans 2:13

God's Judgment And The Law

¹² For all who have sinned without law will perish without law. All who have sinned under law will be judged under law. ¹³ for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. ¹⁴ When those of the nations, who have no law, practice by nature the things of the law they are a law to themselves even though they do not have any law.
