Do you understand the theme of Romans 1-3?

I hope so, but I'm not nearly so sure of myself as you are of you. I do understand that putting "according to my gospel" in bold does not change the fact that Paul very plainly writes that the pagans show what God's laws require when they INSTINCTIVELY do what the law requires of them.

I win. I bolded and capsed mine.

But why does he make this point? Romans is a polemic book, Paul is teaching Christian doctrine. I agree with the above , but how do you see it as applied to Christian doctrine. What do you see as the doctrine of Chapters 1-3 I am sorry that you are not as sure as I am... maybe when you get older :>)
