The following passage of scripture is commonly used to defend a bibical basis for natural law ethics. Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for
themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the requirements of the law are written on
their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending
them (Rom. 2:14-15, emphasis added)

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom
we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only
so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character;
and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through
the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us (Rom. 5:1-5).
Put on all the armor that God gives, so you can defend yourself against the devil's tricks. We are not fighting against
humans. We are fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness and powers in the spiritual world. So
put on all the armor that God gives. Then when that evil day comes, you will be able to defend yourself. And when the battle
is over, you will still be standing firm (Eph. 6:11-13). Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a
crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.
No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for
the prize (1 Cor. 9: 24-27).
