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;
For as many as have sinned, х heemarton (G264)] - 'For as many as sinned' here below; not 'that sinned at all,' but 'that are found in sin' (as Bengel rightly notes) at the judgment of the great day. That this is the sense, the whole context clearly 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. Their character will meet with its appropriate award, and on nothing else will the judgment of such turn.
And as many as have sinned ('as sinned') in the law - within the pale of a positive, written Revelation,
Shall be judged by the law - tried and treated by the higher standard of that written Revelation.
