“What is vital for any accurate understanding of Paul’s doctrine of law is to realize that Paul uses nomos most often and most basically of the Mosaic law. This may be demonstrated through a consideration of the following facts.” (Page 80)
“Three basic views as to its meaning have been proposed.” (Page 91)
“Several scholars suggest that Paul occasionally, or even frequently, uses nomos to designate the law as misunderstood and perverted by his Judaistic opponents—in a word, legalism.” (Page 85)
“To this Moule replies that Paul’s rejection of nomos is not a rejection of law per se, but a rejection of the legalistic use of the law (he refers specifically here to Rom 3:20; 6:14, 15; 10:4).61 We have already noted that scholars tend to interpret nomos as legalism in order to avoid ‘antinomian’ conclusions from Paul’s declarations.” (Pages 89–90)
“In this sense, the issue involved in Paul’s use of the phrase relates to the motive of the actions rather than to the question of fulfillment per se.” (Page 91)
