Romans 2:13-15
_ _ For not the hearers, etc. — As touching the Jews, in whose ears the written law is continually resounding, the condemnation of as many of them as are found sinners at the last involves no difficulty; but even as respects the heathen, who are strangers to the law in its positive and written form — since they show how deeply it is engraven on their moral nature, which witnesses within them for righteousness and against iniquity, accusing or condemning them according as they violate or obey its stern dictates — their condemnation also for all the sin in which they live and die will carry its dreadful echo in their own breasts. |
Romans 2:13
For not the hearers of the law are, even now, just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified — Finally acquitted and rewarded a most sure and important truth, which respects the gentiles also, though principally the Jews.

Romans 2:13
(5) (For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be (h) justified.
(5) He prevents an objection which might be made by the Jews whom the law does not excuse, but condemn, because it is not the hearing of the law that justifies, but rather the keeping of it.
(h) Will be pronounced just before God's judgment seat: which is true indeed if any one could be found that had fulfilled the law: but seeing that Abraham was not justified by the law, but by faith, it follows that no man can be justified by works. |
