Senses in use

  1. Apart from law · dominant

    In Romans 2:12, the adverb occurs in the clauses about people who sinned and who will perish apart from law; the APB renders both clauses with “without law,” contrasting them with those under law who are judged through law.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Romans 2:12, the APB presents the relevant clauses as “sinned without law” and “perish without law.” These renderings confirm the clause-level contrast rather than isolate each token independently.
