This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
That have no law (ta mē nomon echonta). Better, “that have not the law” (the Mosaic law).
By nature (phusei). Instrumental case of phusis, old word from phuō, to beget. The Gentiles are without the Mosaic law, but not without some knowledge of God in conscience and when they do right “they are a law to themselves” (heautois eisin nomos). This is an obvious reply to the Jewish critic.
