Romans 2:8-16
New King James Version
8 but to those who are self-seeking and (A)do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, 9 tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew (B)first and also of the [a]Greek; 10 (C)but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11 For (D)there is no partiality with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law 13 (for (E)not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; 14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 who show the (F)work of the law written in their hearts, their (G)conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) 16 (H)in the day when God will judge the secrets of men (I)by Jesus Christ, (J)according to my gospel.

8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil,(A) there will be wrath and anger.(B) 9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil:(C) first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;(D) 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.(E) 11 For God does not show favoritism.(F)
12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law(G) will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey(H) the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law,(I) they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets(J) through Jesus Christ,(K) as my gospel(L) declares.
