It can also refer to law in a more general sense, including human laws or principles. The term is used to describe the entire Old Testament legal system, the moral law, and sometimes the principle of law as opposed to grace.Cultural and Historical Background: In Jewish culture, the "nomos" was central to religious life, representing God's covenant with Israel. It was seen as a guide for righteous living and a means to maintain a relationship with God. In the Greco-Roman world, law was also a significant concept, governing civic life and order. The New Testament writers, particularly Paul, often addressed the role of the law in light of the new covenant established through Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div>3551 nómos – law. <a href="/greek/3551.htm">3551</a> (nómos) is used of: a) the Law (Scripture), with emphasis on the first five books of Scripture; or b) any system of religious thinking (theology), especially when nomos occurs without the Greek definite article. <a href="/greek/3551.htm">3551</a> /nómos ("law") then can refer to "the Law," or "law" as a general principle (or both simultaneously).
