ἐν τῷ νόμῳ. The law here stands for the whole Old Testament, as we might naturally expect from St Paul’s habit of regarding the whole of the Mosaic dispensation as a progressive order of things having its completion in Christ. See Romans 3:19; Galatians 3:23-24; Galatians 4:5. St John uses the word in the same manner; John 10:34; John 12:34; John 15:25. The passage is from Isaiah 28:11-12. It is freely made from the Hebrew.
