Most of the sources I have access too have nomos as; custom, tradition or norm, Jewish practices. So I'm seeing that nomos can be very broad not necessarily meaning Torah/Jewish practices every time.
Romans 10:4 as an example....
"For Christ is the end of the NOMOS for righteousness to everyone who believes"
How do we know it means the Torah/commandments/Jewish practices?
"For Christ is the end of the custom/ tradition/norm/Jewish practices for righteousness to everyone who believes"
Could this pertain to the righteousness that Paul also has written? That the nomos(whatever it means in context) pertains to the end of righteousness? Perseus has righteousness as righteousness, justice. Does righteousness also mean justice as in a 'judicial' sense if it also means justice? Is righteousness and justice one in the same?
So can it also mean...?
" For Christ is the end of the custom/tradition/norm/Jewish practices for justice to everyone who believes" in a 'judicial sense? Why do I think it's 'judicial'. Because Christ paid the penalty for sin for those that believe.
So it can go either way. Either Christ is the end of the Jewish practices for those that believe or Christ is the end of the penalty for those that believe.
