Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
Which show the work of the law written in their hearts - deeply engraven on their moral nature,
Their conscience also bearing witness, х summarturousees (G4828) autoon (G846) tees (G3588) suneideeseoos (G4893)] - 'their conscience blending its witness,' i:e., with the law,
And their thoughts the mean while, х metaxu (G3342) alleeloon (G240): cf. Acts 15:9] - rather, 'and their thoughts between themselves' (as in margin), or, 'one with another,'
Accusing or else excusing ('them'). Since there is a voice within the breasts even of the pagan which witnesses for righteousness and against iniquity, condemning or commending them by turns, according as they violate or obey its stern dictates, their final condemnation for all the sin in which they live and die will carry its dreadful echo in their own breasts.
