Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words

1: νομοθέτης

(Strong's #3550 — Noun Masculine — nomothetes — nom-oth-et'-ace )

"a lawgiver" (see LAW , A, No. 2, and B. No. 1), occurs in James 4:12 , of God, as the sole "Lawgiver;" therefore, to criticize the Law is to presume to take His place, with the presumption of enacting a better law.
