Well, ἔχομεν is a verb.

ἐν is a preposition and νῷ is a noun.

ἐν νῷ ἔχομεν means literally "we have (it) in mind". It could have other translations depending on context, I suppose, like "we are planning (to)" or "we intend (to)".

thank you, but "νῷ" what means exactly? it is a noun? or it is a pronoun?

νόος as a rule undergoes contraction in Attic, so that the nominative is νοῦς /nu:s/, gen. νοῦ, etc.
