Actually that is an IRONIC statement.
...whosoever have sinned in the law, shall be judged by the law. 13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified...
1. This is a reference to Jews who were under the Law until the New Covenant went into effect.
2. The entire Law of Moses would apply to them, which means that any violation of any of the laws would mean that "the doer of the Law" was not in 100% compliance.
3. The Law demands 100% compliance for anyone to be "justified" by the Law, which is impossible for anyone.
4. Regardless of how hard someone might try to be "justified" by the Law, God says that justification is by grace through faith PLUS NOTHING.
5. Which also means that those who seek to be saved by the works of the Law are simply deluding themselves. This is really what Paul was teaching. Yet there are Judaizers among us who simply do not understand justification by grace through faith PLUS NOTHING.

Romans 2:11-15
11 For there is no respect of persons with God. 12 For whosoever have sinned without the law, shall perish without the law; and whosoever have sinned in the law, shall be judged by the law. 13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14 For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature those things that are of the law; these having not the law are a law to themselves: 15 Who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness to them, and their thoughts between themselves accusing, or also defending one another,
