law - The Law

Denny Diehl here with a question 

I'm looking at Gal 3 where Paul is contrasting "faith" with
"law".  In this verse:

	"hO DE NOMOS OUK ESTIN EK PISTEWS..."
	-Gal 3:12

"The Law" is an obvious reference to the Law of Moses.
Also:

	"KATARAS TOU NOMOU..." -Gal 3:13

However, in many places, NOMOS is without the article.

	"ERGWN NOMOU" -Gal 3:2

Is it correct to think that the article "hO" makes the Law
definite, as in The Law Of Moses and without the article
it is "law" per se?
