When one ties the following verses to gather:
Deuteronomy 1:39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
Isaiah 7:16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
With these following verses:
James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Rom 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Then one can see that a child who does not have an understanding of right and wrong ( duet1:39, isa7:16) cannot have the law because the law is what shows us right from wrong ( rom7:7) and until the law is there to show right from wrong sin is not imputed ( rom5:13) because sin is a transgression of the law.
Just in case someone should mistaken me to be saying that this could apply to adults a brief reading of
Rom 2:14 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:
Rom 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another
