In Romans 2:12-16, the apostle Paul reminds the readers that all people, whether Gentiles who do not have the Mosaic law or Jews who do, will be judged by God according to their deeds. He emphasizes that it is not enough to merely hear the law; one must also obey it in order to be justified before God.
Paul makes it clear that God will judge everyone impartially, based on their actions and the intentions of their hearts. Those who have the law will be judged by the law, while those without it will be judged by their conscience. This passage serves as a warning to those who boast in their knowledge of the law but fail to live according to it.
Ultimately, Paul asserts that God will bring to light the hidden motives of every individual on the day of judgment, when their secrets will be exposed. This passage serves as a sobering reminder that all people will be held accountable for their actions, regardless of their background or knowledge of the law.
