In some texts, the word nomos seems to designate a principle or norm in the more general sense, although this is highly disputed (e.g., Rom 3:27; 7:21, 23, 25; 8:2).[3] Most frequently, however, the term refers to what is commanded in the Mosaic law (Matt 5:18–19; 22:36; 23:23; Luke 2:22, 23, 24, 27, 39; Acts 23:3; John 7:19, 23; 8:17; 19:7; Rom 2:17, 18, 20; 9:31; 10:4; Gal 2:21; 3:11; 5:4; Eph 2:15; Phil 3:6, 9).
