Text:  Romans 2:12-16  For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;  13.  (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified (not chargeable).  14.  For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:  15.  Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)  16.  In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

THE JUST CAN LIVE BY FAITH

Romans 1:17  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just (obedient, lawful) shall live by faith.

NOT BY LAW ALONE

Galatians 3:11  But that no man is justified (not chargeable) by the law (alone) in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just (obedient, lawful) shall live by faith. (are not chargeable)

CHARGED UNPROFITABLE

Luke 17:10  So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

WITHOUT WRITTEN LAW - GENTILE

Romans 2:12a  For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish (sentenced in judgment) without law: . . .

WITHOUT A WRITTEN LAW

Genesis 20:4-6  But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous [just, conformity to a standard] nation? 

A MAN OF INTEGRITY

5.  Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.  6.  And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.

IN THE WRITTEN LAW - JEW

Romans 2:12b  . . . and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

JUDGED ON WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN

Luke 12:47-48  And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.  48.  But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

THE LAW THAT THEY HAVE

Romans 2:13  (For not the hearers of the (written or unwritten) law (they have been given) are just before God, but the doers [poet, (performer)] of the law shall be justified. (not chargeable)

WITHOUT THE WRITTEN LAW - GENTILES

Romans 2:14  For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do [present active] by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

THE WORK OF THE LAW

Romans 2:15  Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness (witnesses speak or testify), and their thoughts the mean while accusing [charging] or else excusing [a legal plea to clear] one another;)

SEARED CONSCIENCE

1 Timothy 4:2  Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron (cauterize);

GOOD CONSCIENCE

JUDGMENT ACCORDING TO MY GOSPEL

Romans 2:16  In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

OBEDIENCE OF FAITH

Romans 16:25-26  Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world [ages] began,  26.  But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations [Gentiles] for the obedience of faith:

RESURRECTION OF CHRIST, MY GOSPEL

2 Timothy 2:8  Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

RESURRECTION OF CHRIST

1 Corinthians 15:14  And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

BEFORE FAITH - LAW

Galatians 3:22-25  But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe [present active].  23.  But before faith came, we were kept under the law (wilderness), shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.  24.  Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ (the new resurrected high priest), that we might be justified by faith.  25.  But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster (ceremonial law).

THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH

BY FAITH ABRAHAM BEFORE LAW

FAITH RECKONED TO ABRAHAM

FAITH BEFORE THE LAW

FAITH AFTER THE LAW

Galatians 3:24-25  Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.  25.  But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

FAITH AFTER THE LAW UNDER ELEAZAR

Hebrews 11:30  By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.

NOW THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH

Hebrews 10:38-39  Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.  39.  But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
