¹⁴ (for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves;

¹² For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;

¹² that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

³⁰ The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth men that they should all everywhere repent:

¹⁶ who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways.
