Editing Jewish principles of faith (section)

===The belief of non-Jews===
According to Jewish belief, righteousness is not restricted to Jews, and "Righteous people of all nations have a share in the world to come".<ref>Sanhedrin 105a</ref> This "righteousness" is measured by observance of the [[Seven Laws of Noah]]. For Maimonides, non-Jews are rewarded for keeping the Seven Laws only if they accept them due to them having been given by God to Moses (i.e. an acceptance of Jewish principles of faith), and not if they arrived at these laws by use of reason.<ref>[[Mishneh Torah]], Melachim 8:14</ref> According to [[Steven Schwarzschild]], {{qi|many of the most outstanding spokesmen of Judaism themselves dissented sharply from}} this position, which is {{qi|individual and certainly somewhat eccentric}} in comparison to other Jewish thinkers.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Schwarzschild |first=Steven S. |author-link=Steven Schwarzschild |date=July 1962 |title=Do Noachite Have to Believe in Revelation?
