Translation: “Law” as a Roman legal term
Key Scriptures (hover for pop-up): Exodus 12:49; Romans 2:12–14; Romans 7:1; Romans 13:1–2; Galatians 3:10–13; Acts 23:29; John 19:7
Notes: Lex carries the imperial resonance of codified law/statute; helped shape Western theology and canon law into systematized legal tradition.
