Passage

Romans 6

• Doctrine

  Christian Identity in Christ

  Identity located in union with Christ, not regional, cultural, or nominal-Catholic heritage identity.

  ROM.6.1-11

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Bavarian Catholic folk piety's devotional-transaction undertone (pilgrimage vows, votive offerings) risks a merited-favor reading; must always reinforce 'apart from any devotional transaction'.

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  Final -e dropped, a regular Bavarian apocope pattern (Gnade > Gnad).

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Holy

  Set apart for God and morally pure.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Holy Spirit

  Borrowed from standard German; the personal third Person of the Trinity.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Resurrection

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

  ROM.6.4-5

• 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.6.4-5

• Doctrine

  Sanctification

  The Spirit's ongoing work of making believers holy; borrowed term with low risk of ritual-purification confusion.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Sanctification

  Borrowed from standard German; the Spirit's ongoing work of making believers holy.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• 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.6.22
