Exegesis
The emphatic pronoun Hēmeis {Ἡμεῖς | Hēmeîs} “we” precedes the object–verb sequence nomon echomen {νόμον ἔχομεν | nómon échomen} “law we have,” highlighting their corporate possession of a legal tradition.
The prepositional phrase kata ton nomon {κατὰ τὸν νόμον | katá tón nómon} “according to the law” specifies the standard by which they demand action, with kata marking conformity to that norm.
