Jason,
   
  Your Greek didn't come through intact.  Could you transliterate?  If you are saying what I suspect you are saying (that in EC ERGWN NOMOU "ERGWN" is a verb) this is not correct, but I think your Greek is better than that so I'm probably mistaken.

  Another thing is that δικαιοσÏ
νη is a noun. This verse contains the verb
δικαιωθησεται.
