9. tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;

10. but glory and honour and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:

13. for not the hearers of a law are just before God, but the doers of a law shall be justified:

14. for when Gentiles which have no law do by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law unto themselves;
