“In verse 12 Paul makes the general point that God judges people by what they know, not by what they do not know Hence: "All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law" (2:12). Jesus had similarly tied human responsibility to human privilege: the more we know, the more severely we are held accountable (Matt. 11:20-24).”
