Exegesis
The expression hoi ek nomou {οἱ ἐκ νόμου | hoí ek nó-mou} ‘those from the law’ combines the definite article with a prepositional phrase to substantivize the phrase, functioning as the subject together with kleronomoi {κληρονόμοι | klē-ro-nó-moi} ‘heirs.’
In context — Romans 4:14
For if the heirs are those who are from the law, then faith is emptied, and the promise is rendered ineffective.
