Definition

natural, agreeable to nature, Rom. 1:26, 27; following the instinct of nature, as animals, 2 Pet. 2:12*

Romans 1:26	For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions. Their women exchanged the natural (physikēn \| φυσικήν \| acc sg fem) sexual function for one that is unnatural,
Romans 1:27	and likewise the men also abandoned the natural (physikēn \| φυσικήν \| acc sg fem) sexual relation with women and burned in their passion for one another — men with men committing shameless acts and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
2 Peter 2:12	But these people, like irrational animals, born creatures of instinct (physika \| φυσικά \| nom pl neut) to be captured and destroyed, are ignorant of those whom they slander, and in their destruction will themselves also be destroyed,
