NET Notes: Rom 2:14

¹ sn Gentile is a NT term for a non-Jew.

² tn Some (e.g. C. E. B. Cranfield, Romans [ICC], 1:135-37) take the phrase φύσει (fusei, “by nature”) to go with the preceding “do not have the law,” thus: “the Gentiles who do not have the law by nature,” that is, by virtue of not being born Jewish.

³ tn Grk “do by nature the things of the law.”
