Romans 2:12-24

12For allG3745 whoG3745 have sinnedG264 12withoutG460 theG460 LawG460 will alsoG2532 perishG622 3withoutG460 theG460 LawG460, and allG3745 whoG3745 have sinnedG264 4underG1722 the LawG3551 will be judgedG2919 5by the LawG3551; 13for it is 6not the hearersG202 7of the LawG3551 who are 8righteousG1342 beforeG3844 GodG2316, but the doersG4163 9of the LawG3551 who will be justifiedG1344. 14For whenG3752 GentilesG1484 who do not haveG2192 10the LawG3551 1112instinctivelyG5449 performG4160 the requirements of the LawG3551, theseG3778, though not havingG2192 13the LawG3551, are a lawG3551 to themselvesG1438, 15in that they showG1731 14the workG2041 of the LawG3551 writtenG1123 in their heartsG2588, their conscienceG4893 testifyingG4828 and their thoughtsG3053 alternatelyG3342 accusingG2723 orG2228 elseG2532 defendingG626 them, 16on the dayG2250 whenG3739, 15accordingG2596 to my gospelG2098, 16GodG2316 will judgeG2919 the secretsG2927 of mankindG444 throughG1223 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

17But ifG1487 you callG2028 yourself a 17JewG2453 and 18relyG1879 19uponG1879 the LawG3551 and boastG2744 in GodG2316, 18and knowG1097 His willG2307 and 2021distinguishG1381 the things that matterG1308, being instructedG2727 from the LawG3551, 19and are confidentG3982 that you yourselfG4572 are a guideG3595 to peopleG5185 whoG5185 areG5185 blindG5185, a lightG5457 to thoseG3588 in darknessG4655, 20a 22correctorG3810 of the foolishG878, a teacherG1320 of 23the immatureG3516, possessingG2192 in the LawG3551 24the embodimentG3446 of knowledgeG1108 and of the truthG225-- 21you, thereforeG3767, 25who teachG1321 someoneG2087 elseG2087, do you not teachG1321 yourselfG4572? You who 26preachG2784 that one is not to stealG2813, do you stealG2813? 22You who sayG3004 that one is not to commitG3431 adulteryG3431, do you commitG3431 adulteryG3431? You who loatheG948 idolsG1497, do you 27robG2416 templesG2416? 23You whoG3739 28boastG2744 29in the LawG3551, throughG1223 your breakingG3847 the LawG3551, do you dishonorG818 GodG2316? 24For “30the nameG3686 of GodG2316 is blasphemedG987 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 31becauseG1223 of you,” justG2531 asG2531 it is writtenG1125.
