In context
10 But glory and honour and peace to all whose works are good, to the Jew first and then to the Greek:
11 For one man is not different from another before God.
12 All those who have done wrong without the law will get destruction without the law: and those who have done wrong under the law will have their punishment by the law;
13 For it is not the hearers of the law who will be judged as having righteousness before God, but only the doers:
14 For when the Gentiles without the law have a natural desire to do the things in the law, they are a law to themselves;
15 Because the work of the law is seen in their hearts, their sense of right and wrong giving witness to it, while their minds are at one time judging them and at another giving them approval;
16 In the day when God will be a judge of the secrets of men, as it says in the good news of which I am a preacher, through Jesus Christ.
