Punishments for Transgressing the 7 Noahide Laws

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?”

Matthew 5:43-47

From the Mishneh Torah – Melachim uMilchamot – Chapter 9:14

A gentile who transgresses these seven commands shall be executed by decapitation. For this reason, all the inhabitants of Shechem were obligated to die. Shechem kidnapped. They observed and were aware of his deeds, but did not judge him. A gentile is executed on the basis of the testimony of one witness and the verdict of a single judge. No warning is required. Relatives may serve as witnesses. However, a woman may not serve as a witness or a judge for them.

Melachim uMilchamot – Chapter 9:14

From the Mishneh Torah – Melachim uMilchamot – Chapter 9:2

A gentile who worships false gods is liable provided he worships them in an accepted manner. A gentile is executed for every type of foreign worship which a Jewish court would consider worthy of capital punishment. However, a gentile is not executed for a type of foreign worship which a Jewish court would not deem worthy of capital punishment. Nevertheless, even though a gentile will not be executed for these forms of worship, he is forbidden to engage in all of them.

Melachim uMilchamot – Chapter 9:2

From the Mishneh Torah – Melachim uMilchamot – Chapter 10:5-6

A gentile who converts after cursing God’s name, worshipping false gods, engaging in relations with a colleague’s wife, or killing a fellow gentile is exempt from punishment. In contrast, if he converted after killing a Jew or having relations with a Jew’s wife, he is liable. He is decapitated for killing the Jew and strangled to death for engaging in relations with a Jew’s wife. He is given the latter punishment because the laws governing him have changed. It has already been explained that gentiles are always executed by decapitation except in cases when one engages in relations with the wife of a Jew or a consecrated maiden. In the latter instance, he is stoned to death. If he engaged in relations with a Jew’s wife after they married, but before they ever engaged in relations, he is executed by strangulation.

Melachim uMilchamot – Chapter 10

From Wikipedia:

The Talmud lists the punishment for blaspheming the Ineffable Name of God as death. The sons of Noah are to be executed by decapitation for most crimes, considered one of the lightest capital punishments, by stoning if he has intercourse with a Jewish betrothed woman, or by strangulation if the Jewish woman has completed the marriage ceremonies, but had not yet consummated the marriage.

From the Talmud – Sanhedrin 57a:13

Rav Huna, Rav Yehuda, and all of the other students of Rav say: A descendant of Noah is executed for transgressing any of the seven Noahide mitzvot; the Merciful One revealed this punishment with regard to one mitzva, the prohibition of bloodshed, and the same is true with regard to all of them.

Sanhedrin 57a:13
Sanhedrin 57a

From Noahide.org:

The Noahide laws are generally held to be so evident and normal that one cannot plead ignorance or lack of warning to be exempt from liability for their non-observance[40]. The theoretical punishment of the Torah for transgression of the Noahide laws is death, although such a penalty could only be enforced at a time when the great Sanhedrin, the Jewish High Court, convened in its place on the Temple Mount[41], and it seems that even when that was the case, this penalty was almost never carried out. The significance of the theoretical death penalty in general, whether for Jew or non-Jew, is given in the words of Rashi, namely that “one has transgressed the will of one’s Creator”[42]. In the case of the Noahide laws, it is that the very purpose for which a human was created, namely to settle the world peacefully has been contradicted and, and so also the essential point of the human being’s existence has been vitiated[43].

Here is a post I did on the Israel of God 

The Good News!

The God who created all things (in accordance with promises He made long ago through the prophets of ancient Israel) has sent and appointed His unique Son as the all-powerful and loving Ruler over all of heaven and earth! Because of this, God requires all who breathe to honor and submit to His Son as their legitimate and absolute King.

This King previously lived on earth as one of us—as the man, Jesus of Nazareth. While He was here, God proved His Son's credentials through His miraculous healings, signs, wonders, and deliverance of the victims of demonic power. There were numerous credible eyewitnesses to these things. Jesus was deeply resented by those whose power was threatened by His claims. They eventually arrested Him and had Him executed on a Roman cross—though He had committed no wrong.

After His crucifixion and burial, God vindicated His Son by raising Him from the dead three days later. Many were allowed to encounter and interact with Him after His resurrection, and they have reliably testified to this. Jesus returned to heaven, where God has coronated and installed Him alongside Himself as King over God's entire realm. That realm includes every one of us.

Even His death was part of God's plan for our salvation from the bondage of Satan and from the power of our own sins. His death provides for the criminal record of every former defector from His reign to be expunged, and removes every barrier that formerly prevented our access to Him on good terms.

When His present reign has reached its goals, Jesus will return to judge the world in uncompromising justice. His visible reign of universal justice and peace will then be among us forever.

His Kingdom currently exists visibly among men on earth in the company of those who acknowledge His status as King and Lord. These are those who willingly submit to Him as His servants.

According to God's decree, since Jesus is the rightful King of all, every person owes Him total allegiance. His only requirement is that we switch our allegiance to Him and follow Him at all costs. Upon our doing so, He grants us full amnesty and pardon for our earlier rebellion against Him. Returning to Him means that we turn from our old lives and live as His followers, trusting in Him for all things, and remaining loyal to Him as our Ruler for the remainder of our lives in the midst of a hostile but doomed world order. When this decision is made we must be baptized to signal the transition we are making from our old loyalties to our coming under Him in His universal Empire.
