(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
All Commentaries on Romans 2:13 Go To Romans 2
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Well does Paul say “before God,” because if they may appear before men to be dignified and to boast of great things, before God it is quite different: only the doers of the law are justified before him…. But how is it possible for someone who has not heard to be a doer of the law? Paul insists not only that it is possible but that those who have heard it might not be doers of it.
