Cross-Reference Analysis
Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis — James (Yaqubun məktubu)
English → Azerbaijani | Full Book, Chapters 1–5
Purpose and Method
This document catalogs every Old Testament quotation and allusion, every messianic reference, every typological connection, and every parallel to the Romans Language Package found across the whole Letter of James (chapters 1–5), with the core passage James 2:14-26 (Faith and Works) receiving the fullest treatment given its direct doctrinal overlap with Romans 3–5. Each row records: passage, theme, related character(s), OT/NT connection, translation sensitivity.
Citation format for this analysis document: citations use normalizable English book-name/chapter:verse form (e.g., “Genesis 15:6,” “Romans 4:3,” “James 2:23”) to support cross-curriculum machine lookup and comparison. This is an internal analysis convention only. Final destination-language teaching materials must follow the baseline’s established Azerbaijani citation convention (Yaradılış 15:6, Romalılara 4:3, Yaqubun məktubu 2:23) per the Cross-Reference Preservation Rules in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md. A book-name mapping table is provided at the end of this document for every OT/NT book referenced here that is not already covered by the baseline package.
All Azerbaijani term renderings in the “Translation Sensitivity” column reuse the baseline translation_memory.json and the James-specific 08_core_glossary.md exactly where applicable, and are marked accordingly.
Cross-Reference Matrix — Chapter 1 (Trials, Wisdom, Pure Religion)
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| James 1:1 | Greeting / scattered people of God | The twelve tribes (patriarchal reference) | Allusion: Deuteronomy 30:1-4; Ezekiel 36:19,24 (scattering/gathering of Israel motif) | Low. “Səpələnmə” (dispersion) is a plain historical-geographic term; no doctrinal collision. |
| James 1:2-4 | Trials and Testing of Faith | — | Structural parallel (not verbal quotation): Romans 5:3-5 (“suffering produces endurance… endurance produces character… hope”) | Medium. Both letters build a trials → endurance → maturity/hope chain. Ensure Dözüm (endurance, James glossary) is not confused with Romans’ distinct chain-terms; note the parallel structure in teaching material as a genuine cross-curriculum resonance, not a verbal quotation. |
| James 1:5 | Wisdom from Above | Solomon (implicit background) | Allusion: 1 Kings 3:9-12 (Solomon’s request for wisdom); Proverbs 2:6 (“the LORD gives wisdom”) | High. Hikmət — see glossary entry; teach that James’s wisdom is asked for directly from God the Father, not mediated through a prophetic/Imamate transmission chain. |
| James 1:10-11 | Favoritism and riches (transience of wealth) | — | Direct allusion: Isaiah 40:6-7 (“the grass withers, the flower fades”); shared NT quotation: 1 Peter 1:24 | Medium. Vivid, non-collision imagery; good candidate for noting the shared Isaiah source across NT letters. |
| James 1:13 | Trials and Testing of Faith | Contrast with Abraham’s testing | Implicit contrast: Genesis 22:1 (“God tested Abraham”) — James clarifies God tests but never tempts toward sin | High. See semantic analysis’ πειρασμός entry; maintain the trial/temptation distinction explicitly. |
| James 1:17 | Wisdom from Above / God’s unchanging character | — | Allusion: Genesis 1:14-18 (creation of the lights); Malachi 3:6 (“I the LORD do not change”); Numbers 23:19 | Medium-High. Işıqların Atası (“Father of lights”) reuses baseline Ata; avoid drift toward nur-associated Shia devotional light-language (cf. baseline “glory” entry’s caution). |
| James 1:18 | New birth / firstfruits | — | Allusion: Leviticus 23:10 (firstfruits offering); NT parallel: Romans 8:23 (“firstfruits of the Spirit”), 1 Corinthians 15:20 (Christ as firstfruits) | Medium. If Nübar/İlk bar (firstfruits) is used, render consistently with any future rendering in a Romans 8:23 lesson to preserve the resurrection-adjacent firstfruits motif. |
| James 1:19-20 | Taming the Tongue (anticipatory) | — | Allusion: Exodus 34:6 (“the LORD… slow to anger”); Proverbs 15:1, 16:32 | Low. |
| James 1:22-25 | Faith and Works (anticipatory: hearer/doer) | — | Allusion: Deuteronomy 4:1-2 (hear and do the statutes); Psalm 19:7 (the law reviving the soul); Psalm 1:1-3 | High. See “law of liberty” glossary entry; reuses baseline Qanun (never şəriət). |
| James 1:27 | Favoritism and the Poor / pure religion | — | Direct allusion: Deuteronomy 10:18; Exodus 22:22; Isaiah 1:17; Zechariah 7:10 (care for orphans and widows as covenant obligation) | Low. Strong positive cultural bridge to Islamic/Qur’anic orphan-care ethics (documented in glossary); good teaching anchor point. |
Cross-Reference Matrix — Chapter 2 (Favoritism, and the CORE PASSAGE: Faith and Works)
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| James 2:1 | Favoritism and the Poor / Deity of Christ | Jesus Christ (“the Lord of glory”) | Allusion: Psalm 24:7-10 (the King of glory); Exodus 33:18-22 (the glory of the LORD) — NT parallel: Romans 9:5 (Christ, “God over all”) | Critical. Reuse baseline Ehtişam exactly; this title ties James directly into the baseline’s Critical “deity_of_christ” doctrine. Never render with nur. |
| James 2:5 | Favoritism and the Poor | — | Allusion: Deuteronomy 15:11; 1 Samuel 2:8 (raising the poor from the dust) — NT parallel: Matthew 5:3; Luke 6:20 (Beatitudes) | Medium. Reuse baseline Allahın Padşahlığı; never dövlət. |
| James 2:8 | Favoritism and the Poor / Royal Law | — | Direct quotation: Leviticus 19:18 (“love your neighbor as yourself”) — NT PARALLEL: Romans 13:9 (identical quotation); also Galatians 5:14; Matthew 22:39; Mark 12:31 | Critical rendering-consistency requirement. This exact OT quotation is also quoted in the Romans curriculum (Romans 13:9). The Azerbaijani wording of this quotation must be identical across both curricula. See Rendering-Consistency Rules below. |
| James 2:10-11 | Faith and Works precursor / unity of the law | — | Direct quotation: Exodus 20:13-14 / Deuteronomy 5:17-18 (“do not commit adultery,” “do not murder”) | Medium. Reuse baseline Qanun; standard Decalogue vocabulary, low ambiguity beyond consistency with the Ten Commandments’ established Azerbaijani Bible wording. |
| James 2:14-26 | FAITH AND WORKS (CORE PASSAGE) | Abraham, Rahab | See dedicated section below | CRITICAL — see full treatment in “Core Passage Deep Cross-Reference” section. |
| James 2:19 | Faith and Works | — | Allusion: Deuteronomy 6:4 (the Shema, “the LORD our God, the LORD is one”) — NT parallel: Romans 3:29-30 (“since God is one”) | High. Same monotheistic confession used for two different arguments (insufficiency of bare assent in James vs. unity of Jew/Gentile access to God in Romans). Render the confession identically; teach the divergent arguments explicitly. |
| James 2:21-23 | Faith and Works (CORE) | Abraham, Isaac | Direct narrative reference: Genesis 22:1-19 (binding of Isaac); Direct quotation: Genesis 15:6 (“Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness”) — NT PARALLEL: Romans 4:1-3, 9-22; Galatians 3:6; Hebrews 11:17-19 | CRITICAL. See dedicated section below. Genesis 15:6 quotation must use baseline Hesaba alınan salehlik verbatim, matching Romans exactly. |
| James 2:23 | Faith and Works | Abraham | Allusion: Isaiah 41:8; 2 Chronicles 20:7 (“Abraham, my friend”) | High. Allahın dostu — övliya collision, see glossary. |
| James 2:25 | Faith and Works | Rahab | Direct narrative reference: Joshua 2:1-21; Joshua 6:17-25 — NT PARALLEL: Hebrews 11:31 (faith hall of fame); Matthew 1:5 (Rahab in Christ’s genealogy) | Medium-High. See “Messianic References and Typology” section below regarding Matthew 1:5’s genealogical connection. |
| James 2:26 | Faith and Works | — | Allusion: Genesis 2:7 (breath of life); Ecclesiastes 12:7 | High. πνεῦμα here = “breath/life-spirit,” not Müqəddəs Ruh; mandatory disambiguation note (see semantic analysis). |
Cross-Reference Matrix — Chapter 3 (Taming the Tongue; Wisdom from Above)
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| James 3:1-2 | Taming the Tongue | Teachers | NT parallel: Matthew 12:36-37 (account for careless words) | Low. |
| James 3:6 | Taming the Tongue | — | General fire-judgment imagery: Isaiah 66:24 — NT parallel: Mark 9:43-48 (Jesus’ Gehenna teaching) | High. Cəhənnəm — see glossary; teach as moral-rhetorical image, not systematic hell-taxonomy. |
| James 3:9 | Taming the Tongue / imago Dei | — | Direct allusion: Genesis 1:26-27 (mankind made in God’s image and likeness) | Critical. New doctrine collision, not present in Romans baseline (tawhid’s tanzih doctrine). Route every occurrence to human theologian review. |
| James 3:13-18 | Wisdom from Above | — | Allusion: Proverbs 8-9 (wisdom personified); Job 28 (“where shall wisdom be found?”) | High. Triadic wisdom contrast (earthly/natural/demonic vs. from-above) requires explicit teaching. |
| James 3:18 | Wisdom from Above | — | Direct allusion: Isaiah 32:17 (“the fruit of righteousness will be peace”); Proverbs 11:30 | Medium. Reuses baseline Salehlik and Sülh. |
Cross-Reference Matrix — Chapter 4 (Worldliness versus Friendship with God)
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| James 4:4 | Worldliness vs. Friendship with God | — | Typological source: Hosea 1-3 (marriage/adultery covenant-unfaithfulness metaphor); Ezekiel 16, 23; Jeremiah 3:20 | High. Metaphorical use of “adulterous” must be flagged unmistakably as non-literal (zina collision, see glossary). |
| James 4:5 | Worldliness | — | Uncertain/disputed OT source — possibly Exodus 20:5 (a jealous God) or an untraceable citation | Medium. Teaching material should note interpretive uncertainty honestly rather than asserting a confident single OT source. |
| James 4:6 | Worldliness | — | Direct quotation: Proverbs 3:34 (“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble”) — NT parallel: 1 Peter 5:5 (identical quotation) | High rendering-consistency note. Reuses baseline Lütf. Flag for harmonization if/when a 1 Peter Language Package is produced. |
| James 4:7 | Worldliness | The devil | General spiritual-adversary motif: Zechariah 3:1-2; Job 1-2 | Medium. Şeytan — standard shared term; differing Iblis/jinn origin-narrative noted, not assumed identical. |
| James 4:10 | Worldliness | — | Allusion: 2 Chronicles 7:14; Micah 6:8 | Low-Medium. |
| James 4:13-16 | Providence / Worldliness | — | Allusion: Proverbs 27:1 (“do not boast about tomorrow”); Ecclesiastes 9:12 — NT parallel: Luke 12:16-21 (parable of the rich fool) | Medium. “İnşallah” resonance; reuses baseline providence/Allahın tədbiri framing. |
Cross-Reference Matrix — Chapter 5 (Riches, Patience, the Lord’s Return, Prayer, Confession)
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| James 5:1-6 | Favoritism and the Poor | — | Direct allusion: Leviticus 19:13; Deuteronomy 24:14-15 (withholding wages forbidden); Isaiah 3:14-15; Amos 8:4-6; Malachi 3:5 | Medium-High. Strong resonance with Islamic fair-wage ethics; James’s prophetic-denunciation register should be preserved. |
| James 5:4 | Favoritism and the Poor | — | Allusion: Isaiah 5:9 — Direct parallel title: Isaiah 1:9 (“Lord of Sabaoth”) — NT PARALLEL: Romans 9:29 quotes Isaiah 1:9 using the identical title | Critical rendering-consistency requirement. See Rendering-Consistency Rules below. |
| James 5:7-8 | Patience and the Lord’s Return | — | Allusion: Deuteronomy 11:14; Joel 2:23 (early and late rains); Hosea 6:3 — NT PARALLEL: Romans 8:19-25 (creation’s eager waiting); 1 Thessalonians 5:1-2; Matthew 24:36-44 | CRITICAL. “Coming of the Lord” — never render zühur. See Forbidden Substitution note below. |
| James 5:10 | Patience and the Lord’s Return | The prophets | General prophetic-suffering tradition — NT parallel: Matthew 5:12; Hebrews 11:32-38 | Low-Medium. |
| James 5:11 | Patience and the Lord’s Return | Job | Direct reference: Job 1:21-22; 42:10-17 — Psalm 103:8 (the LORD compassionate and merciful) | Medium. Job/Əyyub is also a recognized Qur’anic prophet (Qur’an 21:83-84; 38:41-44) — good shared-recognition bridge. |
| James 5:12 | Confession and Restoration (integrity) | — | Allusion: Leviticus 19:12; Numbers 30:2; Deuteronomy 23:21-23 — NT PARALLEL: Matthew 5:34-37 (direct verbal parallel to Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount teaching on oaths) | Medium. Common Azerbaijani oath-speech habits (“Vallahi”) noted; frame as call to consistent truthfulness. |
| James 5:14-15 | Prayer and Healing | Church elders | General anointing-with-oil background: 1 Samuel 16:13; Psalm 23:5; Isaiah 1:6 | High. Yağla məsh etmək — see glossary; distinguish from Islamic ablution wiping (məsh çəkmək). |
| James 5:15 | Prayer and Healing | — | Same Greek root (σῴζω) as Xilas but used here for physical healing | High. Must render Sağaltmaq, never Xilas, in this verse. |
| James 5:16 | Confession and Restoration | — | Allusion: Proverbs 28:13; Psalm 32:5; Psalm 51 (David’s confession) | High. Etiraf etmək — see glossary; distinguish from tawbah and from sacramental confession-to-clergy models. |
| James 5:17-18 | Prayer and Healing | Elijah | Direct reference: 1 Kings 17:1; 18:1; 18:41-45 | Low-Medium. Elijah/İlyas is a recognized Qur’anic prophet (Surah 37:123-132). |
| James 5:19-20 | Confession and Restoration | — | Allusion: Ezekiel 3:18-21; 33:8-9 (the watchman’s responsibility); Proverbs 10:12 (“love covers all wrongs”) — NT PARALLEL: 1 Peter 4:8; Galatians 6:1 | Medium. |
CORE PASSAGE DEEP CROSS-REFERENCE — James 2:14-26
This section consolidates the single highest-stakes cross-reference cluster in the entire curriculum: James’s use of Genesis 15:6, and its direct textual overlap with Romans 4.
| Element | James 2:14-26 | Romans (baseline curriculum) | Resolution Required in Teaching Material |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shared OT quotation | v.23 quotes Genesis 15:6 (“Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness”) | Romans 4:3, 9, 22 quotes the identical Genesis 15:6 text; Galatians 3:6 (parallel curriculum, not yet built) also quotes it | The Azerbaijani rendering of Genesis 15:6 MUST be verbatim-identical wherever quoted, using baseline Hesaba alınan salehlik. |
| Shared key term | δικαιόω / Saleh sayılma (vv.21, 24, 25) — used in a demonstrative/evidentiary sense: faith already present is shown/vindicated by works | δικαιόω / Saleh sayılma (Romans 3:24, 28; 5:1) — used in a forensic/initial sense: a sinner is declared righteous by faith apart from works | Every occurrence in James 2 requires a mandatory theologian’s cross-reference note distinguishing the two senses of the same Azerbaijani term, explicitly naming Romans 3:28 and Romans 4:3 alongside James 2:21-24. |
| Chronological relationship | Abraham’s offering of Isaac (Genesis 22) occurs decades after Genesis 15:6’s crediting of righteousness | Romans 4 treats Genesis 15:6 as the founding moment of Abraham’s justification, prior to circumcision (Genesis 17) and prior to any recorded “works” | The historical sequence (belief credited first → obedience decades later) is itself the strongest textual proof that James presupposes, not revises, Romans’ forensic doctrine. This sequence should be diagrammed explicitly in lesson materials. |
| Related exemplar | Rahab (v.25) — a morally disreputable Gentile whose single act of faith-evidencing hospitality is paired with Abraham’s, the covenant patriarch | Romans 4 uses only Abraham; Romans 3:29-30 and 10:12 establish the Jew/Gentile “no distinction” principle that Rahab’s inclusion here dramatizes narratively | Teaching material should note that James’s Abraham-and-Rahab pairing narratively enacts the very Jew/Gentile “no distinction” doctrine Romans argues abstractly. |
| Governing thesis question | ”Can [a claimed, fruitless] faith save?” (v.14) — an evidentiary question about the observable genuineness of a professed faith | ”How is a sinner declared righteous before God?” (Romans 3:21-26) — a forensic question about the ground of standing before God | These are different questions sharing overlapping vocabulary. This distinction is the single most important theological framing decision for the entire James curriculum and should open every lesson touching James 2:14-26. |
Messianic References and Typology
| Reference | Type | Content | Connection to Romans Baseline | Handling Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| James 1:1; 2:1 | Direct title | ”Lord Jesus Christ” / “our glorious Lord Jesus Christ” | Reuses baseline Rəbb and İsa Məsih; ties directly to baseline’s Critical “lordship_of_christ” doctrine | Ensure İsa is always paired with Məsih; never bare İsa. |
| James 2:1 | Divine title | ”the Lord of glory” (κύριος τῆς δόξης) | Direct doctrinal parallel to Romans 9:5 (“Christ, who is God over all”) — both assert Christ’s full deity | Reuse baseline Ehtişam; route to human theologian review per baseline “deity_of_christ” doctrine. |
| Genesis 22 (Abraham offering Isaac), referenced James 2:21 | Typology (traditional, not explicit in James’s own argument) | The father offering his only beloved son on an altar has long been read by the church as a type anticipating the Father’s offering of the Son | James does not himself draw this typological connection; it is a broader canonical/devotional reading, not James’s stated argument | Teaching material should distinguish clearly between (a) James’s own argument (Abraham’s faith vindicated by obedience) and (b) the separate, traditional typological reading of Genesis 22 pointing to the cross — do not conflate the two or claim James makes a point he does not make. |
| Matthew 1:5 (Rahab in Christ’s genealogy), referenced via James 2:25 | Typology/genealogy | Rahab, James’s second faith-exemplar, appears in Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus the Messiah | Not present in Romans baseline; a fresh, positive cross-canonical connection unique to this curriculum | Worth highlighting pastorally: the very exemplar James uses to demonstrate faith’s reach across social and moral boundaries is herself woven into the messianic line — reinforcing the baseline’s “unity_of_jews_and_gentiles” doctrine. |
| James 5:7-8 (“the coming of the Lord”) | Eschatological/messianic | The promised return of the same “Lord Jesus Christ” named at the letter’s opening (1:1; 2:1) | Direct continuity with baseline’s Critical “lordship_of_christ” and “resurrection_of_christ” doctrines — the One who was raised (a settled Romans doctrine) is the One who will come again | Never render with zühur (see Rendering-Consistency Rules below); this is the same Christ, not a distinct returning figure. |
| James 5:14 (“anointing… in the name of the Lord”) | Christ-centered ministry application | Pastoral care exercised under Christ’s authority and name | Consistent with baseline’s “christ_centered_ministry” doctrine category (established for Romans 15:17-21) | Reinforces that all ministry, including care for the sick, is done in Christ’s name, not as an independent religious technique. |
Rendering-Consistency Rules for Shared Quotations (James ↔ Romans)
The following quotations and titles appear, in identical or near-identical form, in both this James curriculum and the existing Romans Language Package. These renderings must be locked and harmonized across both curricula’s translation memories before Phase 2 translation begins.
-
Genesis 15:6 (“Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness”)
- Appears in: James 2:23; Romans 4:3, 4:9, 4:22.
- Rule: Use baseline Hesaba alınan salehlik for the “credited… as righteousness” clause in every occurrence, verbatim, in both curricula. No paraphrase variation permitted between the two books.
-
Leviticus 19:18 (“love your neighbor as yourself”)
- Appears in: James 2:8; Romans 13:9 (also Galatians 5:14; Matthew 22:39; Mark 12:31, outside current curricula scope).
- Rule: Establish a single fixed Azerbaijani wording for this quotation (e.g., “Qonşunu özün kimi sev”) and use it identically in every curriculum that quotes it. Flag for cross-curriculum harmonization review if the existing Romans 13:9 lesson material uses different phrasing.
-
Deuteronomy 6:4 / “God is one” (the Shema, echoed rather than fully quoted)
- Appears in: James 2:19; Romans 3:29-30.
- Rule: Render the confession itself identically (“Allah birdir”), while explicitly teaching the two distinct arguments each passage builds on it (insufficiency of bare assent in James; unity of Jew/Gentile access to God in Romans). Do not alter the wording of the confession to fit one argument or the other.
-
Isaiah 1:9 / “Lord of Sabaoth” (Lord of Hosts)
- Appears in: James 5:4; Romans 9:29.
- Rule: Render this divine title identically in both curricula — recommended Ordular Rəbbi. Confirm against the existing Romans translation memory whether “Rəbb” alone or a fuller compound was used in the Romans 9:29 lesson material, and harmonize before Phase 2.
-
Proverbs 3:34 / “grace to the humble”
- Appears in: James 4:6 (and, outside current scope, 1 Peter 5:5).
- Rule: Reuse baseline Lütf (never mərhəmət/kərəm) for “grace” in this quotation. No direct Romans-curriculum overlap exists yet, but this rendering sets the fixed form for any future curriculum quoting the same verse.
-
“The coming of the Lord” (parousia) — James 5:7-8
- Related conceptually (not verbally quoted) to Romans 8:19-25 and Romans 13:11-12’s eschatological “day” language.
- Rule: Render as Rəbbin gəlişi. NEVER render as zühur — the load-bearing Twelver Shia technical term for the Hidden Twelfth Imam’s awaited appearance. Add zühur to this curriculum’s Forbidden Substitution List, extending the baseline’s existing forbidden-terms convention (şəriət, qismət/alın yazısı, şəfaət/təvəssül, Cəbrail).
-
δικαιόω / Saleh sayılma across James 2 and Romans 3-5
- Not a shared quotation but a shared key term applied in two theologically compatible but argumentatively distinct senses.
- Rule: Use the identical Azerbaijani term (Saleh sayılma) in both curricula — do not invent a separate Azerbaijani term for James’s evidentiary sense — but require a mandatory theologian’s cross-reference note at every James 2:14-26 occurrence distinguishing the forensic (Romans) and evidentiary (James) uses.
Book-Name Citation Mapping (James-Specific Additions to Baseline)
The baseline package establishes Azerbaijani Bible book names for Romans, Genesis, Psalms, Isaiah, Habakkuk, and Joel. The following additional books, referenced in this cross-reference analysis, must use their established IBT Azerbaijani forms in all destination-language teaching material:
| English | Azerbaijani (IBT convention) |
|---|---|
| James | Yaqubun məktubu |
| Leviticus | Levililər |
| Deuteronomy | Təkrar Qanun |
| Joshua | Yeşua |
| Job | Əyyub |
| Proverbs | Süleymanın məsəlləri |
| Ecclesiastes | Vaiz |
| 1 Kings | 1 Padşahlar |
| 2 Chronicles | 2 Salnamələr |
| Ezekiel | Yezekel |
| Hosea | Huşə |
| Amos | Amos |
| Zechariah | Zəkəriyyə |
| Malachi | Malaki |
| Matthew | Matta |
| Mark | Mark |
| Luke | Luka |
| Galatians | Qalatiyalılara məktub |
| Hebrews | İbranilərə məktub |
| 1 Peter | 1 Peter məktubu |
Verse numbers remain Arabic numerals throughout, per baseline convention.
Summary Notes for Phase 2 Preparation
- James 2:14-26’s cross-reference to Genesis 15:6 and Romans 4 is the single highest-priority harmonization task for this curriculum — no Phase 2 translation of James 2 may proceed without confirming the Romans translation memory’s exact rendering of Genesis 15:6.
- Two shared OT-quotation/title harmonization points (Leviticus 19:18; Isaiah 1:9/“Lord of Sabaoth”) require direct comparison against existing Romans curriculum lesson material before this package is finalized — these should be flagged as an open Phase 1 action item if the Romans curriculum’s underlying lesson text is unavailable for comparison.
- Zühur is added to the Forbidden Substitution List for James, extending the baseline’s convention, and must be enforced identically in Phase 2 validation for every James 5:7-8 occurrence.
- Two new doctrine-risk entries (imago Dei / Genesis 1:26-27 via James 3:9; the Parousia/zühur-avoidance via James 5:7-8) must be reflected in an updated
doctrine_risk_registry.jsonfor this curriculum, per08_core_glossary.md’s Section C recommendation.
