Verses twelve to fifteen basically answer the question about people who do not have access to the Bible. People are condemned not for what they do not know but for what they do with what they know. Those of us who know God’s written Word will be judged by it. Those who never have seen a Bible still know right from wrong, and they will be judged because they did not keep the standards their conscience dictated. God is never unfair, and he designed us in such a way that there would never be any excuse when it came to salvation.

Romans 2:12-15
12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)
