¹⁴ For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, ^(A)by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. ¹⁵ They show that the work of the law is ^(B)written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them

¹⁹ For what can be ^(A)known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. ²⁰ For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, ^(B)have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,^[a] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

The Law of the Lord Is Perfect

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

³² Though they know ^(A)God's righteous decree that those who practice such things ^(B)deserve to die, they not only do them but ^(C)give approval to those who practice them.

God's Righteous Judgment

2 Therefore you have ^(A)no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For ^(B)in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.
