translationNotes

• Paul continues his imaginary argument with a Jewish person.
• For - "Because." If your language has a way to mark that verses 14 and :en:bible🎶rom:02:15 interrupt Paul's main argument to give the reader extra information, use it here. You may need to place 2:14-15 either before 2:13 or after 2:16.

• who will be justified - This can be translated with an active verb: "that God will accept." (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_activepassive)
