[[Maimonides]] says any non-Jew who accepts the seven commandments and is careful to perform them – this person is of the ''[[Chasidei Umos HaOlam]]'', and has a portion in the world to come. They accept these seven commandments and performs them because they were commanded by G-d in ancient times, as revealed to us by Moshe Rabbenu.
However, if the non-Jew keeps these laws because of intellectual decision – he is not called a ''[[Ger Toshav]]'' and is not of the ''[[Chasidei Umos HaOlam]]'', and is he . He is only one of their [[Chochmei Umos HaOlam|wise men]].<ref>[[Maimonides' Law of Noahides#Laws of Kings and their Wars, Chapter 8|Mishneh Torah, Melachim 8:11]]</ref>
