Passage

Romans 1

• Glossary Term

  Apostle

  Final -e dropped per regular Bavarian apocope; otherwise a stable borrowed term.

  ROM.1.1

• Doctrine

  Apostleship

  Stable, established borrowed term; minimal risk of reduction to a generic teacher role.

  ROM.1.1

• Glossary Term

  Called

  Context-sensitive: in 1:1 = called to apostleship; in 1:7 = called to be saints; in 8:28-30 = effectual calling to salvation.

  ROM.1.1, ROM.1.6-7

• Glossary Term

  Calling

  Shares standard German's homonym collision with career/life calling; the legal-appeal sense is less salient in everyday dialect speech than in formal standard German.

  ROM.1.1, ROM.1.6-7

• Doctrine

  Christian Fellowship

  Shared participation in Christ; 'Gmoa'-based vocabulary risks defaulting to the secular civil-municipality sense unless the compound 'Gmoaschaft' is used deliberately.

  ROM.1.12

• Glossary Term

  Covenant

  Relational covenant bond; borrowed as-is from standard German.

  ROM.1.3

• Glossary Term

  David

  Standard proper name form.

  ROM.1.3

• Doctrine

  Davidic Covenant

  Requires OT background explanation; 'Same vom David' is archaic/clinical and should be rendered 'Nachkomme vom David', as in standard German.

  ROM.1.3

• Doctrine

  Deity of Christ

  CRITICAL: co-equal divine nature must not be softened into a merely divinely favored human figure.

  ROM.1.4

• Doctrine

  Divine Calling

  Shares the standard German career-vocation homonym risk; the legal-appeal sense is less salient in everyday dialect speech.

  ROM.1.1, ROM.1.6-7

• Glossary Term

  Exhort

  -en > -a infinitive ending, a regular dialect pattern.

  ROM.1.12

• Doctrine

  Faith

  Personal trust in Christ, not generic folk-Catholic religiosity.

  ROM.1.17

• Glossary Term

  Faith

  From 'Glauben' via the regular Bavarian intervocalic b-lenition pattern (glauben > glaam, cf.

  ROM.1.17

• Glossary Term

  Fellowship

  Built on the genuine Bavarian dialect root 'Gmoa' (from Gemeinde), the everyday word for a civil municipality/parish.

  ROM.1.12

• Doctrine

  Fulfillment of Prophecy

  Linear historical fulfillment (OT to NT); low OT narrative literacy outside of liturgically-conveyed familiarity requires explicit cross-referencing.

  ROM.1.2-4

• Glossary Term

  Glory

  Borrowed from standard German; God's radiant presence and honor.

  ROM.1.4

• Glossary Term

  God

  'Herrgott' is the characteristic Bavarian/Alpine Catholic folk term for God, seen in 'Herrgottswinkel' — the crucifix-and-devotional-image corner traditionally kept in Bavarian farmhouse living rooms.

  ROM.1.4

• Doctrine

  Gospel

  Stable, liturgically familiar borrowed term even in dialect-speaking Catholic parishes.

  ROM.1.1, ROM.1.16

• Glossary Term

  Gospel

  The formal, liturgically borrowed term (used identically to standard German in Bavarian Catholic Mass) versus the folk-paraphrase alternative 'de guade Nachricht' (the good news), preferred in dialect Bible paraphrase for accessibility.

  ROM.1.1, ROM.1.16

• Doctrine

  Humanity of Christ

  Real physical human nature; no competing illusionist worldview in Bavarian culture.

  ROM.1.3

• Doctrine

  Incarnation

  Well-established via Catholic Christmas liturgy even in dialect-speaking parishes; borrowed term with no native folk coinage.

  ROM.1.3

• Glossary Term

  Incarnation

  Borrowed as-is from standard German; well-established via Catholic Christmas liturgy even in dialect-speaking parishes.

  ROM.1.3

• Doctrine

  Inspiration of Scripture

  Distinguish God-breathed Scripture from folk-devotional or purely liturgical familiarity with Bible stories.

  ROM.1.2

• Glossary Term

  Jesus

  Stable; pronounced with regionally typical vowel quality but not a distinct written form.

  ROM.1.4

• Glossary Term

  Justification

  CRITICAL: essentially borrowed wholesale from standard German.

  ROM.1.16

• Glossary Term

  Law

  Ge- prefix reduces to G- per regular Bavarian pattern (gesagt > gsogt, gemacht > gmacht).

  ROM.1.2-4

• Glossary Term

  Lord

  Romans 10:9 'Da Jesus is da Herr.' Note the flattening dynamic is inverted relative to standard German: Bavarian daily speech defaults heavily to informal address (Du, first names) even in contexts where standard German might use formal titles, so 'Herr' already carries more inherent religious/formal weight in dialect usage than the everyday standard-German 'Herr Müller' pattern — a modest protective factor, though the doctrine's stakes remain High regardless.

  ROM.1.4

• Doctrine

  Lordship of Christ

  Romans 10:9's confession must not read as one lord among several; note the everyday-title flattening risk documented for standard German 'Herr' is somewhat reduced in Bavarian, where daily speech defaults to informal address more broadly, giving 'Herr' more inherent formal/religious weight.

  ROM.1.4

• Glossary Term

  Messiah

  The Anointed One fulfilling OT promise; borrowed as-is.

  ROM.1.3-4

• Doctrine

  Messianic Promise

  The specific Jewish OT concept fulfilled exclusively in Jesus must not be flattened into a generic revered religious figure.

  ROM.1.3-4

• Glossary Term

  Mission

  Borrowed as-is; Bavarian Catholic religious orders have their own missionary-sending history (e.g.

  ROM.1.5, ROM.1.13-14

• Doctrine

  Mission to the Nations

  Borrowed term; Bavaria's own Catholic missionary-sending religious orders give it some regional grounding despite being a loanword.

  ROM.1.5, ROM.1.13-14

• Doctrine

  Mutual Edification

  Building one another up in faith; no significant doctrinal risk.

  ROM.1.12

• Doctrine

  Obedience of Faith

  Must be guarded against reintroducing a merit-based works framework; obedience is fruit of faith, not its precondition.

  ROM.1.5

• Glossary Term

  Obedience Of Faith

  Romans 1:5, 16:26.

  ROM.1.5

• Glossary Term

  Power Of God

  Sovereign, saving capability.

  ROM.1.16

• Doctrine

  Power of God for Salvation

  'Kraft' conveys sovereign capability.

  ROM.1.16

• Glossary Term

  Prophecy

  The stressed 'a' shifts toward 'o' in many Bavarian subvarieties (sagen > song/sogn); otherwise a borrowed term.

  ROM.1.2-4

• Glossary Term

  Prophet

  God's spokesperson; borrowed as-is.

  ROM.1.2

• Glossary Term

  Resurrection

  -ung > -'ng contraction, a regular dialect pattern; otherwise essentially borrowed from standard German with no native folk term.

  ROM.1.4

• Doctrine

  Resurrection of Christ

  Bodily, historical, once-for-all event; Easter's cultural centrality reinforces the concept even where the doctrinal vocabulary itself is borrowed.

  ROM.1.4

• Glossary Term

  Righteousness

  CRITICAL, and illustrative of this package's central finding: abstract Reformation-controversy vocabulary was historically handled in Latin or standard German in Bavarian Catholic life, not in spoken dialect, so no native Boarisch coinage exists.

  ROM.1.16

• Doctrine

  Sainthood (Called to be Holy)

  HIGH RISK: Bavarian rural Catholic folk piety's intense local patron-saint and Namenstag culture makes 'de Heiling' default overwhelmingly to venerated canonized figures, not Paul's sense of every believer.

  ROM.1.7

• Doctrine

  Salvation

  HIGH RISK: as with standard German, 'Heil' carries Nazi-era contamination, arguably sharper here given Munich's specific historical role as the movement's headquarters; 'Erlösung' is preferred.

  ROM.1.16

• Glossary Term

  Salvation

  HIGH RISK: as in standard German, 'Heil' carries Nazi-era contamination ('Heil Hitler'); this risk is arguably sharper for Bavarian specifically since Munich was the movement's historic headquarters ('Hauptstadt der Bewegung').

  ROM.1.16

• Glossary Term

  Seed Of David

  Follows the same modernization pattern as standard German ('Same Davids' > 'Nachkomme Davids'), adapted with the regular Bavarian 'von' > 'vom' contraction before a consonant.

  ROM.1.3

• Doctrine

  Separation unto God's Service

  Must not collapse into monastic withdrawal; biblical separation is devotion to God while remaining engaged in ordinary village and family life.

  ROM.1.1

• Glossary Term

  Sin

  HIGH RISK: final -e dropped per regular apocope.

  ROM.1.18

• Glossary Term

  Son Of God

  CRITICAL: 'von' contracts to 'vo' per regular Bavarian preposition contraction.

  ROM.1.4

• Doctrine

  Sonship of Christ

  CRITICAL: eternal, unique Sonship, not adoptive or metaphorical sonship as in ordinary human 'Kindschaft'.

  ROM.1.4

• Doctrine

  Spiritual Gifts

  Keep gifts explicitly grace-given, not natural talent or folk-devotional favor.

  ROM.1.11

• Glossary Term

  Spiritual Gifts

  Compound of 'Gnad' (grace) and a dialect-contracted 'Gob'n' (Gaben, gifts); ties gifts explicitly back to grace as in the standard German 'Gnadengaben'.

  ROM.1.11

• Doctrine

  Thanksgiving

  Standard term.

  ROM.1.8, ROM.1.21

• Glossary Term

  Thanksgiving

  Standard term.

  ROM.1.8, ROM.1.21

• Doctrine

  Universal Human Accountability

  HIGH RISK: universal guilt before God is undercut if 'Sünd' is read in its colloquial 'what a shame/waste' sense rather than culpable moral transgression, the same drift pattern documented for standard German.

  ROM.1.18

• Doctrine

  Universal Scope of the Gospel

  No ethnic or regional barrier to the gospel; retain unqualified universality without softening.

  ROM.1.16
