Romans 2:12-16

¹²God gave the law to the Jewish people, so they know that law, and whenever they do wrong God will punish them the way that law says. And the same too for people that are not Jewish, whenever they do wrong he will punish them.

¹³It doesn’t matter whether you know that law or not, if you do good things God will tell you, “You are all right.”

¹⁴There are people that aren’t Jewish, but they do good things just like the law says. They don’t have that law but they know in their minds what is right and what is wrong.

¹⁵They show that God wrote his law inside them. They feel bad whenever they do something that is wrong, but sometimes they do something that is right, and it makes them feel good.

¹⁶God sees everything that everybody does and everything that everybody thinks. Nobody can hide anything from him. One day God will get Jesus Christ to judge everybody about these things. This is the message that I tell everybody.
