All who sin without having the Law will perish without regard to the Law, and all who sin under the Law will be judged by the Law.

When heathen who have no Law instinctively obey what the Law demands, even though they have no law they are a law to themselves,

Then what shall we conclude? That the Law is sin? Certainly not! Yet, if it had not been for the Law, I should never have learned what sin was; I should not have known what it was to covet if the Law had not said, "You must not covet."

For merely hearing the Law read does not make a man upright in the sight of God; men must obey the Law to be made upright.

And if, although they are physically uncircumcised, they obey the Law, they will condemn you, who break the Law, although you have it in writing, and are circumcised.

For no human being can be made upright in the sight of God by observing the Law. All that the Law can do is to make man conscious of sin.

But now God's way of uprightness has been disclosed without any reference to law, though the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it.

Is this using faith to overthrow law? Far from it. This confirms the Law.
