Cross-Reference Analysis
Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis: 2 Timothy
Purpose and Method
This document maps every Old Testament quotation and allusion, every messianic reference and typological pattern, and every significant parallel to the Romans curriculum (the only other Assamese Language Package currently in production) across all four chapters of 2 Timothy, first to last. It builds directly on 07_semantic_analysis.md and 08_core_glossary.md and does not re-derive term-level decisions already settled there; it cites them by their established Assamese rendering.
Citation format: All Scripture references use the normalizable “Book Chapter:Verse” style (e.g., “2 Timothy 2:19”, “Numbers 16:5”, “Romans 1:3-4”, “Genesis 15:6”) to remain compatible with the YouVersion-style Arabic-numeral convention already fixed in the baseline’s 12_ai_translation_requirements.md.
Coverage guarantee: Every chapter of 2 Timothy is represented below. Where a verse contributes no cross-reference of translation significance, it is not separately listed, but no chapter is skipped as a whole.
Section A: Chapter-by-Chapter Cross-Reference Matrix
Chapter 1
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Timothy 1:1-2 | Apostleship / greeting | Paul, Timothy | Parallel: Romans 1:1, Romans 1:7 (grace and peace); 1 Timothy 1:2 (grace, mercy, peace) | Medium — reuse baseline প্ৰেৰিত, অনুগ্ৰহ, শান্তি exactly; কৃপা (mercy) licensed per baseline non-salvific note. |
| 2 Timothy 1:3 | Faithful heritage | Paul | Allusion: Acts 23:1, Acts 24:16 (clear conscience before God) | Low — বিবেক (conscience), no doctrinal collision. |
| 2 Timothy 1:5 | Faithful Transmission of the Gospel | Lois, Eunice, Timothy | Typological pattern: Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (teach the commandments to your children); narrative: Acts 16:1 | Medium — model of household faith-transmission across generations; contrast intentionally with guru/Satradhikar lineage-succession (per baseline apostleship doctrine notes). |
| 2 Timothy 1:6 | The Charge to Preach the Word (commissioning) | Paul, Timothy | Typology: Numbers 27:18-20 (Moses lays hands on Joshua); parallel: Acts 6:6, 1 Timothy 4:14 | Medium — হাত থোয়া (laying on of hands); brief note distinguishing Spirit-conferred commissioning from unrelated ritual hand-laying. |
| 2 Timothy 1:7 | Perseverance under Suffering | Timothy | Strong parallel: Romans 8:15 (“you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear… but the Spirit of adoption”) | High — both passages contrast a “spirit of fear” with a Spirit-given disposition. Assamese ভয় (fear) root must be rendered identically in both curricula for learners moving between lessons. |
| 2 Timothy 1:8-9 | Grace vs. works; Perseverance under Suffering | Paul | Direct parallel: Romans 1:16 (“not ashamed of the gospel”); Romans 9:11 (call not according to works); Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5 | Critical — grace/works contrast is a baseline grace doctrine flashpoint (Romans 4:4-5, 11:5-6). Must preserve identical contrast structure: অনুগ্ৰহ … কৰ্মৰ দ্বাৰা নহয়. |
| 2 Timothy 1:9 | Providence / Election | Paul, God | Parallel: Romans 8:29-30 (foreknown, predestined); Ephesians 1:4 (before the foundation of the world) | High — reuse baseline ঈশ্বৰৰ বিধান / ঈশ্বৰৰ মনোনয়ন root; never ভাগ্য/কৰ্মফল. |
| 2 Timothy 1:10 | Incarnation; Assurance of Reward (appearing) | Christ | Fulfillment: Isaiah 25:8 (“he will swallow up death”); Hosea 13:14; parallel: Titus 2:11-13; Romans 6:9 (death no longer has dominion) | Critical — first occurrence of ἐπιφάνεια (Savior’s “appearing”) in the book; mandatory translator note distinguishing this fixed historical appearing from a repeatable avatar-descent, per baseline incarnation doctrine. |
| 2 Timothy 1:12 | Perseverance under Suffering | Paul | Parallel: Romans 1:16; Psalm 25:2-3 LXX (“let me not be put to shame”) | Medium — লজ্জিত হ’ব (be ashamed) rendered consistently with Romans 1:16. |
| 2 Timothy 1:13-14 | Guarding Sound Doctrine | Timothy | Parallel: 1 Timothy 6:20 (“guard what has been entrusted”); Jude 1:3 (“the faith once for all delivered”) | High — সুস্থ বচনৰ আদর্শ, অৰ্পিত বিষয় (see 08 glossary Sections 1-2). |
| 2 Timothy 1:16-18 | Christian Fellowship | Onesiphorus | Parallel: Matthew 25:36 (“you visited me… in prison”) | Low. |
Chapter 2
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Timothy 2:1 | Grace | Timothy | Parallel: Romans 5:2 (“grace in which we stand”) | High — অনুগ্ৰহ, baseline exact reuse. |
| 2 Timothy 2:2 | Faithful Transmission of the Gospel | Paul, Timothy, “faithful men” | Parallel: 1 Corinthians 15:3 (“I delivered to you what I also received”); 1 Corinthians 11:2 | High — transmission-chain doctrine; অৰ্পণ কৰা reused consistently with παραθήκη family (08 Section 2-3). |
| 2 Timothy 2:3-6 | Perseverance under Suffering | Timothy | Parallel: Ephesians 6:10-17 (soldier); 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (athlete); James 5:7 (farmer’s patience) | Low-Medium — vocational metaphors, minimal risk. |
| 2 Timothy 2:8 | Faithful Transmission of the Gospel; Resurrection of Christ; Davidic Covenant | Christ | Direct parallel: Romans 1:3-4 — “descended from David… raised from the dead” | Critical — must render দায়ূদৰ বংশৰ and পুনৰুত্থান identically to their Romans usage. Any divergence would create an apparent doctrinal inconsistency between the two curricula’s Christological anchor verses. |
| 2 Timothy 2:9 | Faithful Transmission of the Gospel | Paul | Parallel: Philippians 1:12-14; Acts 28:31 | Medium-High — ঈশ্বৰৰ বাক্য বন্দী নহয়. |
| 2 Timothy 2:11-13 | Christian Identity in Christ; Assurance of Reward | Believers, Christ | Parallel: Romans 6:8 (“died with him… live with him”); Romans 8:17 (co-heirs, suffer with him); Numbers 23:19 (God does not lie); Romans 3:3-4 (God’s faithfulness despite human unfaithfulness) | High — union-with-Christ language must echo Romans 6’s established framing; God’s unwavering πιστός must not be softened. |
| 2 Timothy 2:15 | Guarding Sound Doctrine | Timothy | Allusion: Proverbs 2:1-9 (wisdom walks a straight, discerned path) | High — সত্যৰ বাক্য সঠিকভাৱে ব্যাখ্যা কৰা. |
| 2 Timothy 2:17-18 | Resurrection of Christ (denial); Apostasy | Hymenaeus, Philetus | Parallel: 1 Corinthians 15:12 (“some say there is no resurrection”) | Critical — this passage warns against a distortion of resurrection doctrine (claiming it “already happened,” i.e., spiritualized away). Translator must render this as false teaching condemned, not as a legitimate alternate reading; পুনৰুত্থান terminology must remain sharply distinct from any spiritualized/reincarnation-adjacent reading. |
| 2 Timothy 2:19 | Effectual Calling; Providence | — | Direct OT quotation: Numbers 16:5 (LXX, “the Lord knows those who are his”); second clause echoes Isaiah 52:11 / Leviticus holiness-departure language | High — this is the book’s one clear formal OT quotation (unmarked by a citation formula, per Pastoral Epistle style). Parallel: Romans 8:29 (“those he foreknew”), Romans 11:2. Render ঈশ্বৰে জানে (the Lord knows) with same theological weight as baseline মনোনয়ন/মনোনীত family — God’s sovereign knowledge of his own, not karma-determined destiny. |
| 2 Timothy 2:20-21 | Sanctification; Providence | — | Parallel: Romans 9:21 (potter’s right over the clay, vessels for honor/dishonor); type: Jeremiah 18:1-6 (potter and clay) | High — semantic-shift flag. In Romans 9:21 the potter/vessel image illustrates God’s sovereign, unconditional election. In 2 Timothy 2:20-21 the same vessel-image describes the believer’s own responsibility to cleanse himself for honorable use. These are two distinct applications of one image; a translator note is required wherever both passages appear in the same study material to prevent readers from collapsing divine sovereignty and human responsibility into a single flattened claim. |
| 2 Timothy 2:22 | Sanctification | Timothy | Parallel: Romans 6:12-13 (do not let sin reign); Galatians 5:22-23 (fruit of the Spirit) | Medium — reuses baseline ধাৰ্মিকতা, বিশ্বাস, শান্তি. |
| 2 Timothy 2:24-25 | Apostasy and False Teachers (contrast); Assurance of Reward (repentance as gift) | Timothy | Parallel: Romans 2:4 (“God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance”) | High — মন-পালটন (repentance) as divine gift, not self-performed rite. |
| 2 Timothy 2:26 | Apostasy and False Teachers | — | Allusion: Psalm 91:3 (“snare of the fowler”); parallel: 1 Peter 5:8 | Medium-High — শয়তানৰ ফান্দ; one personal defeated adversary, not a populated spirit-world. |
Chapter 3 (full chapter, including core-passage verses 3:14-17 referenced back to 07_semantic_analysis.md)
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Timothy 3:1 | Apostasy and False Teachers in the Last Days | — | Parallel: Isaiah 2:2, Micah 4:1 (a contrasting positive “last days” tradition); Genesis 6:5 (pre-flood moral collapse as eschatological type) | High — শেষৰ দিন; linear eschatology, not cyclical yuga-decline (see 07/08 for full note). |
| 2 Timothy 3:2-5 | Apostasy and False Teachers in the Last Days | — | Direct parallel: Romans 1:29-31 (near-identical vice catalog) | High — where the same Greek vice-term occurs in both books (e.g., ὑπερήφανος/proud, ἀλαζών/boastful, ἀχάριστος/ungrateful), the Assamese word chosen here must match any existing Romans rendering of that term for cross-curriculum consistency. |
| 2 Timothy 3:5 | Apostasy and False Teachers; Guarding Sound Doctrine | — | Allusion: Isaiah 29:13 (“this people honor me with their lips…”), quoted by Jesus in Matthew 15:8; parallel: Romans 2:28-29 (circumcision of heart vs. outward) | Critical — ভক্তি (godliness) term; see full mandatory-note treatment in 07/08. This verse’s “form without power” critique must read as a warning applicable within the church, not as a polemic against a specific outside devotional tradition. |
| 2 Timothy 3:6-7 | Apostasy and False Teachers | — | Parallel: Titus 1:11 (households upset by false teaching) | Medium. |
| 2 Timothy 3:8-9 | Typology of opposition to God’s messenger | Jannes, Jambres, Moses | Typology: Exodus 7:11-12, 7:22, 9:11 (Pharaoh’s unnamed magicians; names supplied by later Jewish tradition, not the Exodus text itself) | Medium — proper names; note that “Jannes and Jambres” is an extra-biblical naming tradition, not an OT quotation; Moses = established system-prompt form মোচি. |
| 2 Timothy 3:10-11 | Perseverance under Suffering | Paul | NT historical cross-reference: Acts 13:14-14:20 (Antioch, Iconium, Lystra persecutions) | Low. |
| 2 Timothy 3:12 | Perseverance under Suffering | — | Parallel: Matthew 5:10-12; John 15:20; Acts 14:22 | Medium. |
| 2 Timothy 3:13 | Apostasy and False Teachers | — | Parallel: 2 Peter 2; Jude 1:4-19 | Medium. |
| 2 Timothy 3:14-17 (core passage) | Inspiration and Sufficiency of Scripture | Timothy, Lois, Eunice | See full verse-by-verse treatment in 07_semantic_analysis.md. Additional cross-reference: 3:15’s “make you wise for salvation” strongly echoes Psalm 19:7 (“the law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul… making wise”) and Psalm 119:98-100 (wisdom through the commandments). | Critical — পবিত্ৰ শাস্ত্ৰ, ঈশ্বৰৰ প্ৰেৰণাৰে লিখিত; see 08 glossary Section 1 in full. |
Chapter 4 (full chapter, including core-passage verses 4:1-5 referenced back to 07_semantic_analysis.md)
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Timothy 4:1-5 (core passage) | The Charge to Preach the Word; Apostasy and False Teachers | Paul, Timothy, Christ | See full verse-by-verse treatment in 07_semantic_analysis.md. Additional cross-reference: 4:1 “judge the living and the dead” parallels Acts 10:42, 1 Peter 4:5, and Psalm 96:13 (“he will judge the world in righteousness”). | Critical/High as documented in 07. |
| 2 Timothy 4:2 | The Charge to Preach the Word | Timothy | Parallel: Romans 10:14-15 (“how are they to hear without someone preaching?”) | High — κηρύσσω rendering প্ৰচাৰ কৰা must align with baseline mission term সুসমাচাৰ প্ৰচাৰ. |
| 2 Timothy 4:3-4 | Apostasy and False Teachers | — | Parallel: 1 Timothy 1:4, 4:1, 4:7; Titus 1:14 (Jewish myths) | Critical — কল্পকাহিনী (myths); never a পুৰাণ-root word (see 07/08 full mandatory-note treatment). |
| 2 Timothy 4:6 | Perseverance under Suffering | Paul | Parallel: Philippians 2:17 (same Greek term σπένδομαι, “poured out as a libation”); type: Numbers 28:7 (drink offering) | Medium-High — distinguish self-sacrificial metaphor from Hindu ritual libation (তৰ্পণ). |
| 2 Timothy 4:7 | Assurance of Reward; Perseverance under Suffering | Paul | Parallel: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27; Philippians 3:12-14; Hebrews 12:1; Acts 20:24 (Paul’s own earlier words) | High — completion secured by grace already given (2 Timothy 2:1), not self-achieved merit. |
| 2 Timothy 4:8 | Assurance of Reward | Paul, Christ | Parallel: James 1:12; 1 Peter 5:4 (“crown of glory”); Revelation 2:10 (“crown of life”) | High — ধাৰ্মিকতাৰ মুকুট, প্ৰকাশ (second occurrence of ἐπιφάνεια; same mandatory note as 4:1/1:10). |
| 2 Timothy 4:14 | Assurance of Reward; Providence | Alexander | Parallel: Romans 2:6 (“he will render to each one according to his deeds”), itself echoing Psalm 62:12 and Proverbs 24:12 | High — coordinate rendering with any future Romans 2:6 Assamese text; must frame as God’s personal, just recompense, explicitly not করমফল (karma-fruit), per baseline providence cautions. |
| 2 Timothy 4:16 | Perseverance under Suffering | Paul | Parallel: Acts 7:60 (Stephen’s prayer for his killers); Luke 23:34 (Jesus’ prayer) | Medium. |
| 2 Timothy 4:17 | Perseverance under Suffering; Assurance of Reward | Paul, the Lord | Direct allusion: Psalm 22:21 (“save me from the mouth of the lion”); typology: Daniel 6:16-23 (Daniel delivered from the lions) | Medium-High — নিস্তাৰ কৰা (situational rescue), consistent with baseline’s licensed non-salvific use of this term. |
| 2 Timothy 4:18 | Assurance of Reward; Kingdom Mission | Paul | Parallel: Matthew 6:13 (Lord’s Prayer, “deliver us from evil”); Psalm 121:7-8 | High — স্বৰ্গীয় ৰাজ্য (heavenly kingdom), baseline ৰাজ্য root. |
| 2 Timothy 4:22 | Grace; Christian Fellowship | — | Parallel: Galatians 6:18; Philippians 4:23; Romans 16:20 (“the grace of our Lord Jesus… be with you”) | Low-Medium — standard Pauline benediction; অনুগ্ৰহ baseline reuse. |
Section B: Messianic References and Typology (Full-Book Summary)
| 2 Timothy Reference | Messianic/Typological Content | OT Fulfillment or Type | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Timothy 2:8 | Christ as “the offspring of David, raised from the dead” | 2 Samuel 7:12-16; Psalm 89:3-4; Jeremiah 23:5; Isaiah 11:1 (Davidic Messianic promise) | Critical — identical Davidic-covenant/resurrection type as Romans 1:3-4; must render দায়ূদৰ বংশৰ and পুনৰুত্থান identically across both curricula. |
| 2 Timothy 1:10 | Christ’s “appearing” as Savior who abolished death | Isaiah 25:8 (“he will swallow up death forever”); Hosea 13:14 | Critical — first occurrence of ἐπιφάνεια in the book; mandatory incarnation-distinguishing note (দেহধাৰণ doctrine family). |
| 2 Timothy 4:1, 4:8 | Christ’s future appearing and role as universal Judge | Daniel 7:13-14 (the Son of Man given dominion and judgment); Psalm 96:13 | Critical — same প্ৰকাশ term and mandatory note as 1:10; names two fixed, non-repeating events (first and second appearing), never a repeatable avatar-descent cycle. |
| 2 Timothy 3:8-9 | Moses opposed by counterfeit magicians, as type of the faithful servant of God opposed by false teachers | Exodus 7:11-12, 9:11 | Medium — typological pattern (faithful messenger vs. false imitators) applied to Timothy’s own ministry context; Moses (মোচি) is the type, not a direct messianic figure here. |
| 2 Timothy 4:17 | Paul’s deliverance “from the lion’s mouth” | Psalm 22:21 (a messianic psalm of suffering and deliverance); typological echo of Daniel 6 | Medium-High — deliverance imagery drawn from a messianic psalm applied to Paul’s own suffering; keep নিস্তাৰ (situational rescue) distinct from পৰিত্ৰাণ (eternal salvation) per baseline. |
Section C: Parallels to the Romans Curriculum
Romans is the only other Assamese-language curriculum currently in the pipeline. Where 2 Timothy shares a term, doctrine, or direct textual echo with Romans, the following consistency rules govern Phase 2 translation.
| 2 Timothy Passage | Romans Passage | Shared Term / Concept | Required Assamese Consistency |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Timothy 1:7 | Romans 8:15 | ”spirit of fear” contrasted with a Spirit-given disposition | ভয় (fear) root rendered identically in both curricula. |
| 2 Timothy 1:8, 1:12 | Romans 1:16 | ”not ashamed of the gospel” | লজ্জিত হ’ব + সুসমাচাৰ (baseline exact reuse) rendered identically; this is the Romans curriculum’s thesis-statement verse, so exact match is mandatory per baseline’s theological-consistency rules. |
| 2 Timothy 1:8-9 | Romans 9:11; Romans 4:4-5; Romans 11:5-6 | Grace given “not according to our works” | অনুগ্ৰহ contrast-with-works structure preserved exactly; never allow a merit/boon (বৰ) reading to creep in. |
| 2 Timothy 2:2 | Romans (general apostolic-transmission pattern, cf. Romans 6:17) | Faithful transmission of received teaching | অৰ্পণ কৰা / অৰ্পিত বিষয় terminology kept internally consistent across this curriculum; if Romans materials are later revised to name this same “deposit” concept, adopt the same phrase. |
| 2 Timothy 2:8 | Romans 1:3-4 | Davidic descent + bodily resurrection | Verbatim-identical rendering required — দায়ূদৰ বংশৰ, পুনৰুত্থান. This is the single highest-priority cross-curriculum consistency point identified in this analysis. |
| 2 Timothy 2:11 | Romans 6:8; Romans 8:17 | Union with Christ in death and life | Same descriptive rendering pattern (সহ-মৃত্যু / সহ-জীৱন) used for both curricula’s “died with him / live with him” language. |
| 2 Timothy 2:19 | Romans 8:29; Romans 11:2 | God’s foreknowledge/sovereign choice of his own | মনোনয়ন / মনোনীত root reused exactly; ঈশ্বৰে জানে (the Lord knows) framed with the same anti-fatalism note as baseline election and providence. |
| 2 Timothy 2:20-21 | Romans 9:21 | Potter/vessel imagery — honor and dishonor | Semantic-shift flag: Romans 9:21 = God’s sovereign, unconditional election (the potter’s right over the clay); 2 Timothy 2:20-21 = the believer’s own responsibility to self-cleanse for honorable use. Use the same vessel vocabulary (সন্মানৰ পাত্র / অসন্মানৰ পাত্র) but attach a translator note in any material referencing both passages together, distinguishing sovereignty (Romans) from responsibility (2 Timothy). |
| 2 Timothy 2:22 | Romans 6:12-13 | Fleeing sin, pursuing righteousness/faith/love/peace | ধাৰ্মিকতা, বিশ্বাস, শান্তি — all baseline exact reuse; only প্ৰেম (love) is new to this curriculum and carries low collision risk. |
| 2 Timothy 2:24-25 | Romans 2:4 | God’s kindness produces repentance | মন-পালটন as Spirit-enabled gift, consistent with Romans 2:4’s framing of divine kindness (not human merit) as the cause. |
| 2 Timothy 3:2-5 | Romans 1:29-31 | Vice catalog | Match individual Assamese vice-terms where the same Greek word occurs in both lists (e.g., pride, boastfulness, ingratitude), to reinforce that this is one coherent biblical diagnosis of fallen humanity, not two unrelated lists. |
| 2 Timothy 4:2 | Romans 10:14-15 | Preaching/proclamation | প্ৰচাৰ কৰা aligned with baseline mission term সুসমাচাৰ প্ৰচাৰ (never মিছন, per baseline colonial-association caution). |
| 2 Timothy 4:14 | Romans 2:6 | Divine repayment “according to deeds” | Coordinate future Romans 2:6 rendering with this verse; both must express God’s personal, just recompense — explicitly not কৰ্মফল (karma-fruit) — even though the surface idiom (“repay according to deeds”) is the most karma-adjacent-sounding phrase in either book. |
| 2 Timothy 4:18 | Romans (kingdom_of_god doctrine family) | Heavenly kingdom | ৰাজ্য root reused; স্বৰ্গীয় ৰাজ্য (heavenly kingdom) as a further-specified compound, distinguished from any political/territorial kingdom association per baseline kingdom_of_god doctrine notes. |
| 2 Timothy 4:22 | Romans 16:20 | Closing grace-benediction | অনুগ্ৰহ tobôrô sôite (grace be with you) formula kept in the same register as Romans’ closing benediction. |
Section D: Rendering-Consistency Rules for Shared Quotations
-
Verbatim-match rule for direct Christological parallels. Where a 2 Timothy passage and a Romans passage state the identical doctrinal claim in nearly identical wording (2 Timothy 2:8 / Romans 1:3-4 is the primary case in this book), the Assamese rendering MUST be copied from the existing translation_memory entry, not independently retranslated. Any Phase 2 worker encountering 2 Timothy 2:8 must load the Romans 1:3-4 segment cache before translating.
-
OT quotation-marking convention. 2 Timothy contains one clear (unmarked) formal OT quotation — 2 Timothy 2:19, echoing Numbers 16:5 (LXX). Because the Pastoral Epistles do not use an explicit “as it is written” citation formula here, render it as continuous prose (not as a block quotation), consistent with how the source text itself presents it. Do not add a citation formula not present in the Greek.
-
Semantic-shift flagging. Where the same image or Greek root is reused across 2 Timothy and Romans but applied to a different theological referent (vessels of honor/dishonor: sovereign election in Romans 9:21 vs. self-cleansing responsibility in 2 Timothy 2:20-21), retain the same base vocabulary for recognizability but attach a mandatory translator note distinguishing the two applications wherever cross-referenced study material places the two passages side by side.
-
Vice-list term matching. For the shared vice catalog (2 Timothy 3:2-5 / Romans 1:29-31), consult the Assamese rendering chosen for each Greek term if and when the Romans curriculum’s own segment cache contains it; do not independently coin a new Assamese word for a vice-term already rendered in Romans.
-
Citation format normalization. All cross-references in Phase 2 output must use: Book name in its established Assamese Bible Society form (per baseline
12_ai_translation_requirements.mdbook-name table, extended here with 2 Timothy = ২ তীমথীয়), Arabic-numeral chapter:verse (e.g., ২ তীমথীয় 2:19), matching the existing Romans convention (ৰোমীয়া 3:23-style). -
No new forbidden-term collisions introduced by cross-references. Any OT passage cited in a 2 Timothy footnote or study note (e.g., Psalm 22:21, Numbers 16:5, Exodus 7:11-12) must be rendered using only baseline-approved or 08-glossary-approved terminology; do not introduce ad hoc renderings for OT proper names or terms already fixed by Assamese Bible Society convention.
-
Providence/karma-adjacent language double-check. Any cross-reference touching “repayment according to deeds” (2 Timothy 4:14 / Romans 2:6 / Psalm 62:12 / Proverbs 24:12) must be reviewed against the baseline’s
providencedoctrine forbidden-term list (never ভাগ্য, কৰ্মফল) even when the underlying idiom sounds karma-adjacent in English.
