Nómos significa lei — sobretudo a Lei de Moisés, mas também qualquer regra ou princípio. Paulo mostra que a lei revela o pecado mas não pode salvar; só Cristo o faz.

Nomos is the Greek for law. The New Testament uses it for the Mosaic Law, for the Old Testament as a whole (“the Law and the Prophets”), and for principles that govern life and conduct.

Paul’s key insight in Romans and Galatians is that the law is good but cannot save: it reveals our need rather than supplying our cure. Salvation is by faith in Christ; the law then becomes a guide for those already saved by grace.
