Passage

Romans 3

• Doctrine

  Faith

  Personal trust in Christ specifically, not assent to a creed that in Shia usage includes belief in the Imamate.

  ROM.3.22-28

• Glossary Term

  Faith

  İman is shared with Islamic vocabulary, where in Shia usage it includes assent to the Imamate alongside the standard pillars.

  ROM.3.22-28

• Doctrine

  Fulfillment of Prophecy

  Linear historical fulfillment culminating in Christ contrasts with a pattern of successive, largely self-contained prophets each restating the same core message; Romans' cumulative, converging OT argument needs explicit unpacking.

  ROM.3.21

• Glossary Term

  Gentiles

  Millətlər ('nations,' i.e.

  ROM.3.29-30

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Unmerited favor apart from saleh əməllər (righteous deeds).

  ROM.3.24

  Grace

  Lütf conveys unearned favor apart from merit.

  ROM.3.24

• Glossary Term

  Israel

  Proper name; established Azerbaijani Bible form.

  ROM.3.29-30

• Glossary Term

  Law

  ROM.3.21

• Glossary Term

  Prophecy

  God-inspired declaration pointing to Christ.

  ROM.3.21

• Glossary Term

  Sin

  Günah is the standard shared term, but Islamic anthropology (fitrə, humans born sinless) resists inherited universal sinfulness; Romans 5:12-19's doctrine of inherited sin needs explicit teaching support rather than assuming günah alone conveys it.

  ROM.3.23

• Doctrine

  Unity of Jews and Gentiles

  Requires theological clarity given Azerbaijan's diplomatic and cultural proximity to modern Israel, a distinct contemporary-politics layer on top of the ancient Jew/Gentile question.

  ROM.3.29-30

• Doctrine

  Universal Human Accountability

  Islamic anthropology (fitrə, humans born sinless) resists inherited, universal sinfulness; Romans' 'all have sinned' must be taught as a deliberate claim, not softened into 'most people sin sometimes.'
