Romans 2:15
Compare all
13 (for anot the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;  
14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves,
15 who show the awork of the law written in their hearts, their bconscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them)  
16 ain the day when God will judge the secrets of men bby Jesus Christ, caccording to my gospel.  

The Jews Guilty as the Gentiles

17 Indeed ayou are called a Jew, and brest on the law, cand make your boast in God,  
18 and aknow His will, and bapprove the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

Romans 2:15

Who show - To themselves, to other men, and, in a sense, to God himself. The work of the law - The substance, though not the letter, of it. Written on their hearts - By the same hand which wrote the commandments on the tables of stone. Their conscience - There is none of all its faculties which the soul has less in its power than this. Bearing witness - In a trial there are the plaintiff, the defendant, and the witnesses. Conscience and sin itself are witnesses against the heathens. Their thoughts sometimes excuse, sometimes condemn, them. Among themselves - Alternately, like plaintiff and defendant. Accusing or even defending them - The very manner of speaking shows that they have far more room to accuse than to defend.
