G3551–νόμος–nomos

A wife, for instance, whose husband is living is bound to him by the Law; but if her husband dies the law that bound her to him has now no hold over her.

νόμῳ· nomō “by law;”νόμου nomou “law”

This accounts for the fact that if during her husband's life she lives with another man, she will be stigmatized as an adulteress; but that if her husband is dead she is no longer under the old prohibition, and even though she marries again, she is not

νόμου nomou “law”

So, my brethren, to you also the Law died through the incarnation of Christ, that you might be wedded to Another, namely to Him who rose from the dead in order that we might yield fruit to God.

νόμῳ nomō “law”

For whilst we were under the thraldom of our earthly natures, sinful passions-- made sinful by the Law--were always being aroused to action in our bodily faculties that they might yield fruit to death.

νόμου nomou “law”

But seeing that we have died to that which once held us in bondage, the Law has now no hold over us, so that we render a service which, instead of being old and formal, is new and spiritual.

νόμου nomou “law”

What follows? Is the Law itself a sinful thing? No, indeed; on the contrary, unless I had been taught by the Law, I should have known nothing of sin as sin. For instance, I should not have known what covetousness is, if the Law had not repeatedly said,

νόμος nomos “law”νόμου· nomou “law;”νόμος nomos “law”

Sin took advantage of this, and by means of the Commandment stirred up within me every kind of coveting; for apart from Law sin would be dead.

νόμου nomou “[the] Law”

Once, apart from Law, I was alive, but when the Commandment came, sin sprang into life, and I died;

νόμου nomou “law”

So that the Law itself is holy, and the Commandment is holy, just and good.

νόμος nomos “the law [is]”

For we know that the Law is a spiritual thing; but I am unspiritual--the slave, bought and sold, of sin.

νόμος nomos “Law”

But if I do that which I do not desire to do, I admit the excellence of the Law,

νόμῳ nomō “law”

I find therefore the law of my nature to be that when I desire to do what is right, evil is lying in ambush for me.

νόμον nomon “principle”

For in my inmost self all my sympathy is with the Law of God;

νόμῳ nomō “law”

but I discover within me a different Law at war with the Law of my understanding, and leading me captive to the Law which is everywhere at work in my body--the Law of sin.

νόμον nomon “law”νόμῳ nomō “law”νόμῳ nomō “law”

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!) To sum up then, with my understanding, I--my true self--am in servitude to the Law of God, but with my lower nature I am in servitude to the Law of sin.

νόμῳ nomō “law”νόμῳ nomō “[the] law”

for the Spirit's Law-- telling of Life in Christ Jesus--has set me free from the Law that deals only with sin and death.

νόμος nomos “the law”νόμου nomou “law”

For what was impossible to the Law--powerless as it was because it acted through frail humanity--God effected. Sending His own Son in a body like that of sinful human nature and as a sacrifice for sin, He pronounced sentence upon sin in human nature;

νόμου, nomou “law,”

in order that in our case the requirements of the Law might be fully met. For our lives are regulated not by our earthly, but by our spiritual natures.

νόμου nomou “law”

Abandonment to earthly things is a state of enmity to God. Such a mind does not submit to God's Law, and indeed cannot do so.

νόμῳ nomō “the law”

while the descendants of Israel, who were in pursuit of a Law that could give righteousness, have not arrived at one.

νόμον nomon “a law”νόμον nomon “[that] law”

And why? Because they were pursuing a righteousness which should arise not from faith, but from what they regarded as merit. They stuck their foot against the stone which lay in their way;

νόμου· nomou “of law;”

For as a means of righteousness Christ is the termination of Law to every believer.

νόμου nomou “of law”

Moses says that he whose actions conform to the righteousness required by the Law shall live by that righteousness.

νόμου nomou “law”

Owe nothing to any one except mutual love; for he who loves his fellow man has satisfied the demands of Law.

νόμον nomon “[the] Law”

Love avoids doing any wrong to one's fellow man, and is therefore complete obedience to Law.

νόμου nomou “of [the] law”
