I would like to add something I find interesting regarding Paul's language in Romans 2:14, where he says:
| For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves |
Notice that he did not say that the Gentiles obey the law, are obedient to the law, keep the law, etc. Instead, he said that they do by nature the things contained in the law. I take it that not murdering and not committing adultery are some of the things contained in the law. Which seems to show that one can (as he or she ought!) avoid murdering, or avoid committing adultery, with such avoidances of sin not necessarily being instances of obedience to the law.
