Romans 2:12 Douay-Rheims

For whosoever have sinned without the law, shall perish without the law; and whosoever have sinned in the law, shall be judged by the law.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1871 Reformed

For as many as have sinned--not "as many as have sinned at all," but, "as many as are found in sin" at the judgment of the great day (as the whole context shows). without law--that is, without the advantage of a positive Revelation. shall also perish without law--exempt from the charge of rejecting or disregarding it. and as many as have sinned in the law--within the pale of a positive, written Revelation. shall be judged by the law--tried and condemned by the higher standard of that written Revelation.
