Passage

Romans 16

• 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.16.3-16

• Glossary Term

  Church

  HIGH RISK: in Bavarian village life the parish church (Pfarrkirch) is the literal, physical center of communal identity, marked yearly by the Kirchweih/Kirwa festival (the church's consecration anniversary, one of the most important traditional Bavarian folk festivals); 'Kirch' therefore defaults overwhelmingly to the building and parish institution, arguably even more concretely than standard German 'Kirche'.

  ROM.16.1-16

• Doctrine

  Church as God's People

  HIGH RISK: 'Kirch' defaults overwhelmingly to the physical parish building and its Kirchweih festival culture, not the NT gathered-people sense; the natural dialect word for a local gathered community, 'Gmoa', is unusable here because it is monopolized by the secular-municipality meaning.

  ROM.16.1-16

• Glossary Term

  Fellowship

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

  ROM.16.3-16

• Doctrine

  Obedience of Faith

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

  ROM.16.26

• Glossary Term

  Obedience Of Faith

  Romans 1:5, 16:26.
