All who sin without having the Law will perish without regard to the Law, and all who sin under the Law will be judged by the Law.

When heathen who have no Law instinctively obey what the Law demands, even though they have no law they are a law to themselves,

Then what shall we conclude? That the Law is sin? Certainly not! Yet, if it had not been for the Law, I should never have learned what sin was; I should not have known what it was to covet if the Law had not said, "You must not covet."
