{To them that are without law} ( ois anomois). The
heathen, those outside the Mosaic law ( Ro 2:14 ), not lawless
( Lu 22:37 Ac 2:23 1Ti 1:9 ). See how Paul bore himself with
the pagans ( Ac 14:15 17:23 24:25 ), and how he quoted heathen
poets. "Not being an outlaw of God, but an inlaw of Christ"
(Evans, Estius has it _exlex, inlex_, m(8820)(936e) anomos theou, all'
ennomos Christou). The genitive case of heou and Christou
(specifying case) comes out better thus, for it seems unusual
with anomos and ennomos, both old and regular adjectives.
