ἔννομος

The Greek word ἔννομος (ennomos) is derived from the prefix ἐ ν (en) meaning 'under' and νόμος (nomos) meaning 'law'. Its primary definition, therefore, translates to 'under law'. This phrase indicates a state of being subject to the law or under its authority. The two occurrences of ἔννομος in the Bible suggest its range of usage is in contexts emphasizing subordination to or living under the law. This may encompass compliance, obedience, or regulation, with no additional nuance or distinction provided by the available data. The scarcity of its usage also implies that ἔννομος might be used to convey specific, nuanced meaning in given contexts beyond its core definition.
