But these people slander whatever they do not understand, and they are destroyed by those things that, like irrational animals, they know by instinct.
When gentiles, who do not possess the law, by nature do what the law requires, these, though not having the law, are a law to themselves.
Their end is destruction, their god is the belly, and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things.
These people, however, are like irrational animals, mere creatures of instinct, born to be caught and killed. They slander what they do not understand, and as those creatures are destroyed, they also will be destroyed,
