‏ Romans 2:13

Not the hearers--but the doers ( ου γαρ ο ακροαται--αλλ' ο ποιητα ). The law was read in the synagogue, but there was no actual virtue in listening. The virtue is in doing. See a like contrast by James between "hearers" and "doers" of the gospel (Jas 1:22-25).

Before God ( παρα τω θεω ). By God's side, as God looks at it.

Shall be justified ( δικαιωθησοντα ). Future passive indicative of δικαιοω, to declare righteous, to set right. "Shall be declared righteous." Like Jas 1:22-25.
