    DefinitionShort: a formalized rule (or set of rules) prescribing what people must do
    Glosses: ['law', 'ordinance', 'rule']
    Comments: The difference between ‘a law’ and ‘a command’ is that a law is enforced by sanctions from a society, while a command carries only the sanctions of the individual who commands. When, however, the people of Israel accepted the commands of God as the rules which they would follow and enforce, these became their laws.|The occurrence of νόμος two times in {S:04500800200006} poses certain problems of both translation and interpretation: ὁ γὰρ νόμος τοῦ πνεύματος τῆς ζωῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ἠλευθέρωσέν σε ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου τῆς ἁμαρτίας καὶ τοῦ θανάτου ‘for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus freed you from the law which leads to sin and death.’ In the second occurrence of νόμος, the meaning is clearly the rules and regulations of the OT law, but in the case of the first occurrence of νόμος, there is no such formulation of decrees. The reference in this instance must therefore be to certain basic principles. If, however, one understands νόμος in the sense of a type of abstract ‘governing power,’ it is possible that the reference in the phrase νόμος τοῦ πνεύματος τῆς ζωῆς is to this governing power of the Spirit of life which frees one from the law which stipulates sin and death.

    DefinitionShort: the first five books of the OT called the Torah (often better rendered as ‘instruction’)
    Glosses: the Law
    Comments: In a number of languages it is not possible to use a singular expression such as ‘the Law,’ for since the Torah consisted of five books and included a number of regulations and instructions, it is necessary in many languages to use ‘the laws.’ Furthermore, to distinguish this body of laws from common, ordinary customs or legal regulations, it may be necessary to employ a phrase such as ‘the laws given to Moses’ or simply ‘the laws of Moses.’

    Comments: It is clear from the content of the quotation in {S:04301003400020} that the reference of νόμος is not restricted to the first five books of the OT, for the passage comes from the Psalms.

    DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: law of the man, or: law of the husband) the law which binds a woman to a man in marriage
    Glosses: marriage law
    Comments: It may be especially difficult in some languages to speak of ‘being free from the marriage law.’ An appropriate equivalent in some languages may be ‘she is no longer obliged to remain the wife of the dead man,’ but in other languages it is more meaningful to say ‘she is then permitted to marry another man.’
