Greek term anomia (lawlessness) does not exclusively mean violation of the Mosaic law — it has diverse NT usage

Mike argues that anomia is a compound: the negation prefix (a-) plus nomos (law). While nomos can refer to the law of Moses, it has a wide range of NT uses. The word anomia itself is frequently used in contexts that do not refer specifically to Mosaic law. He compares this to skeptics who weaponize the word "faith" by using only the "belief without evidence" definition and forcing it onto all Christian uses. Multiple Bible translations render anomia as "unrighteousness" rather than lawlessness, which shows the term is not a clear reference to Torah-violation.
