Clay,
As you answered Francisco Orozco regarding TO ERGON TOU NOMOU, along the
same lines, what could you say of the phrase TO EQOS TOU NOMOU which is
found in Lk 2:27 according to D05, where NA27/USB4 reads: TO EIQISMENON TOU
NOMOU? What content does each of these expressions refer? Are they decrees
of law, of behavioral patterns associated with the Law or of the Law
itself? Thanks in advance,
Sylvie Chabert d'Hyères
