Romans 2:13-15
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
13 For not the hearers of law[a] are righteous before God, but the doers of law will be declared-righteous.
For Gentiles Will Be Judged By Their Own Standards Insofar As They Agree With God’s
14 For whenever Gentiles, the ones not having the Law, are doing by nature the things of the Law, these ones not having the Law are a law to themselves, 15 who are demonstrating[b] the work of the Law written in their hearts— their conscience bearing co-witness and their thoughts accusing or even defending between one another

Romans 2:13-15
New International Version
13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey(A) 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,(B) 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.)
