Word: law unto oneself Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Probably from Romans 2:14 in the King James Version of the Bible (see the quotation under sense 3 below), though the term has come to have the opposite meaning, as senses 1 and 2 indicate. Sense 3 is now largely limited to references to the Bible verse. Pronunciation: /ˈlɔː ˈʌntʊ ˌwʌnˈsɛlf/, /-ˈʌntuː-/, /-ˈʌntə-/, /ˈlɔ ˈʌntə ˌwʌnˈsɛlf/, /-ˈʌntʊ-/ 1. One who is free from the constraints of law or rules. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: If you take away the Law, all things will fall into a Confuſion, every Man will become a law unto himſelf; which, in the depraved Condition of Human Nature, muſt needs produce many great Enormities. Example: The noiseless leaping forward of the canoe beneath him heightened his sense of breaking with the past and hastening onward into another life. In that life he would be a new creature, free to be a law unto himself. 2. One who flouts the law or conventional wisdom; one who ignores rules or logic to behave according to his or her own standards. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: [T]he law was made to oppress the colored race, so I snapped my finger at the law, an' resolved to come up with it every time I got a chance. I would be a higher law unto myself; for if a white man, when he was wronged, was justified in rightin' himself, even to the takin' of life, I, bein' no whit inferior to my white compeer, would take the law into my own hands as he had into hisn. Example: Can a man excuse his practices to the contrary because of his religious belief? To permit this would be to make the professed doctrines of religious belief superior to the law of the land, and in effect to permit every citizen to become a law unto himself. 3. One who is lawful in the absence of an enforced law; one who behaves with integrity. Labels: countable, dated, uncountable Example: For when the Gentiles which haue not the Law, doe by nature the things contained in the Law: theſe hauing not the Law, are a Law vnto themſelues. Example: The arguments by which he [Paul the Apostle] establishes his proposition are two. The first is:– / Those who are a law unto themselves are not without law: / The Gentiles are a law unto themselves: / Therefore they are not without law. / The assumption is thus proved:– / Those who, having not the written law, do by nature the things which are of the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: / But the Gentiles, having not the written law, do by nature the things which are of the law: / Wherefore they are a law unto themselves.

Labels: Northern-England, obsolete Example: Of course, I need scarcely say that the existence of dealers who purvey to the wants of aspiring naturalists, was entirely unknown to me ; and even if I had known, the probability is that my parents would have thought twice before they granted me money in order to purchase accommodation for such vermin as hairy oobits, as the majority of caterpillars were, and are still, indiscriminately termed by the good north-country people.
