Strong's Lexicon nomimós: Lawfully, according to law Original Word: νομίμως Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word νόμος (nomos), meaning "law." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the adverb "nomimós," the concept of lawfulness can be related to Hebrew words such as תּוֹרָה (torah, Strong's H8451) meaning "law" or "instruction," and מִשְׁפָּט (mishpat, Strong's H4941) meaning "judgment" or "justice." Usage: The adverb "nomimós" is used to describe actions that are in accordance with the law or are done lawfully. In the New Testament, it often refers to actions that align with God's law or the principles of righteousness as understood within the Christian faith. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of law (νόμος) was central to both civic and moral life. The Jewish understanding of law was deeply rooted in the Torah, which provided a comprehensive guide for living a life pleasing to God. In the early Christian context, the term "nomimós" would have been understood as adhering to the divine law as revealed through Christ and the teachings of the apostles.
