Side-by-side, word-level diff of 10 paired Markdown study guides (Romans 1–6). Text removed from the original is struck through in red on the left; text added in the back translation is highlighted in green on the right. Computed client-side when this page loads.
Executive Summary
All Hindi Back Translation files are full copyedit rewrites of their originals, not content revisions. Every pair keeps the same section order (Overview, Utley's reading, Guzik's reading, TGC's reading, Synthesis, Reflection & Discussion Questions, Sources), the same commentators, the same five discussion questions per chapter, and identical hyperlinks/citations. Nothing was added, removed, or theologically changed — nearly every sentence was independently reworded for style, and a handful of edits repeat identically across all or most files.
Edits that repeat across (nearly) every file
- Section labels renamed: "Utley's / Guzik's / The Gospel Coalition's Reading" → "…Interpretation" — in all 10 files.
- Ampersand spelled out: "Reflection & Discussion Questions" → "Reflection and Discussion Questions" — in all 10 files.
- Byline reworded: "Study guide synthesizing… Romans Commentary (Donny Ray Mathis II)" → "A study guide synthesizing… commentary on Romans (Donny Ray Mathis II)" — in all 10 files.
- Scripture citations expanded: abbreviations spelled out and spacing standardized, e.g. "Gen. 15:6" → "Genesis 15:6", "Ps. 32:1–2" → "Psalm 32:1–2", "Deut. 10:16" → "Deuteronomy 10:16", "v.2" → "v. 2" (chapters 3, 4, 7, and others).
- Archaic phrasing modernized: "may it never be!" → "By no means!" (chapters 3:27–31 and 6:1–11); "slave of Christ" / "bond-servant" → "servant of Christ" (chapter 1:1–17).
Titles changed
Six of the ten chapter titles were reworded for style; the other four (Romans 4, 5:1–11, 5:12–21, 6:1–11) are untouched:
- 1:1–17 — "The Gospel Defined" → "Defining the Gospel"
- 1:18–32 — "…Communion with God and Neighbors" → "…Fellowship with God and Neighbor"
- Romans 2 — "…Invites God's Wrath" → "…Invites the Wrath of God"
- 3:1–20 — "Just Shut Your Mouth: The Whole World Guilty" → "Every Mouth Silenced: The Whole World Guilty"
- 3:21–26 — "The Facts Changed…" → "The Situation Changes…"
- 3:27–31 — "…the Law Upheld" → "…the Law Established"
Chapter-by-chapter change intensity
| Chapter | Title changed | Lines reworded / total content lines | Words changed | % of words touched |

| Computing… |
"Lines reworded" counts non-blank lines where the two versions differ at all (including a single swapped word). "% of words touched" is the share of the original's word count that was deleted or replaced. Every difference found was stylistic — no source, link, citation, or commentator attribution was ever removed, and no new claims were introduced.
