Gentiles do not have the law. Sometimes they just naturally do what the law requires. They are a law for themselves. This is true even though they don’t have the law.

For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.

So, when Gentiles, who do not by nature have the law, do what the law demands, they are a law to themselves even though they do not have the law.
