English → Bengali | 1 Thessalonians 1–5 | OT Quotations, Allusions, Typology, and Cross-Curriculum Parallels
Curriculum: 1 Thessalonians Core passage: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Doctrines in scope: The Return of Christ, Resurrection of Believers, Sanctification, Hope in Grief, The Day of the Lord Sibling curriculum in this language pair: Romans (baseline Language Package, in force)
Citation convention: All citations are normalized as Book Chapter:Verse using standard English book names and Arabic numerals (e.g., Genesis 15:6, Romans 12:19) so references stay machine-matchable across curricula. For final Bengali-facing materials, pair each normalized citation with the established Bengali book name from the baseline package’s book-name table (রোমীয়, আদিপুস্তক, গীতসংহিতা, যিশাইয়, ইত্যাদি); additional Bengali book-name forms newly required by this curriculum are listed in the legend below.

Part A — Chapter-by-Chapter Cross-Reference Matrix
Chapter 1
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Thessalonians 1:1 | Grace and peace greeting formula | Paul, Silvanus, Timothy | Romans 1:7 (identical greeting formula, “grace to you and peace”) | Must render অনুগ্রহ ও শান্তি identically to the Romans rendering; any variation would suggest a different theological content for what is a fixed epistolary formula shared across the Pauline corpus. |
| 1 Thessalonians 1:3 | Faith, love, hope triad | — | 1 Corinthians 13:13 (future curriculum; not in scope, noted only as trajectory); Romans 5:1-5 (faith→hope progression) | বিশ্বাস (faith) and আশা (hope) already carry baseline/curriculum risk tiers; ensure the triad reads as three distinct, named virtues, not a single blended phrase. |
| 1 Thessalonians 1:4 | Election | Thessalonian believers | Deuteronomy 7:6-8 (Israel chosen by God’s love, not merit); Isaiah 41:8-9 (“Israel, my chosen”); Romans 9:11-12; Romans 11:5-7 (election of the remnant) | ঈশ্বরের মনোনয়ন (baseline reuse) must convey the same sovereign, personal choice as in Romans 9–11 — the church’s election is presented as continuous with, not a replacement narrative hostile to, God’s election of Israel. |
| 1 Thessalonians 1:6 | Receiving the word with joy amid affliction | Thessalonian believers | Matthew 13:20-21 / Luke 8:13 (seed on rocky ground receives word with joy but falls away — a cautionary contrast, not a direct source) | Low sensitivity; note only as literary echo, not a quotation. |
| 1 Thessalonians 1:9 | Turning from idols to the living and true God | Thessalonian converts | Deuteronomy 5:26 (“the living God”); 1 Kings 18:20-40 (Elijah vs. Baal, living God vs. lifeless idols); Jeremiah 10:1-16 (extended idol-polemic contrasted with the living God); Psalm 115:4-8; Romans 1:23,25 (exchanging the glory of the immortal God for images) | High sensitivity: প্রতিমা (idol) must not be rendered মূর্তি, which carries strong Hindu sacred-image/living-deity connotations. The Romans 1:23-25 idol-polemic and this verse should use parallel vocabulary for “living and true God” (জীবন্ত ও সত্য ঈশ্বর) so learners recognize the same apologetic argument across both letters. |
| 1 Thessalonians 1:10 | Son from heaven; resurrection; deliverance from wrath to come | Jesus (Son of God) | Daniel 7:13-14 (one like a son of man coming with/from heaven); Isaiah 13:9, Joel 2:11, Zephaniah 1:14-18 (day of wrath); Romans 1:4 (declared Son of God by the resurrection); Romans 5:9 (saved from the wrath of God through Christ); Romans 1:18 (wrath of God revealed) | Critical: this verse compresses three Critical-risk doctrines at once — Sonship of Christ, Resurrection, and the Day-of-the-Lord wrath. Must not soften “wrath to come” into a vague future difficulty; must keep পুনরুত্থান as the resurrection verb, aligned with Romans usage. |
Chapter 2
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Thessalonians 2:4 | God who tests the heart | Paul (apostolic integrity) | Jeremiah 11:20; Jeremiah 17:10; Psalm 7:9; 1 Chronicles 29:17; Proverbs 17:3 | Medium; ensure “tests” (দোকিমাজো root) is rendered as personal divine scrutiny of motive, not an impersonal karmic weighing of deeds. |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 | Persecution of the prophets and of Christ; wrath come upon persecutors | Thessalonian believers; Judean churches; “the Jews” (historical persecutors) | 1 Kings 19:10,14 (“they have killed your prophets” — Elijah’s complaint); Nehemiah 9:26; 2 Chronicles 36:16; Matthew 23:37 / Luke 11:47-51 (Jesus indicts the pattern of killing prophets); Acts 7:52 (Stephen’s speech); Romans 11:2-4 quotes the same 1 Kings 19:10,14 text in a different rhetorical direction (God’s faithfulness to a remnant, not primarily a judgment statement) | Critical translation-consistency issue: the identical 1 Kings 19:10 citation is used in Romans 11 to comfort (a remnant remains) and echoed in 1 Thessalonians 2 to warn (judgment for persecution). Render the underlying OT quotation identically in both curricula’s footnotes/back-translation notes, but flag for theologian review that the applications differ and must not be flattened into one meaning. Also historically and pastorally sensitive in a South Asian interfaith context — avoid any phrasing that could be read as blanket ethnic condemnation; the referent is specific historical persecutors, not the Jewish people as such. |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:16 | Wrath “come upon them at last” | — | Same Day-of-the-Lord/wrath corpus as 1:10; Romans 2:5 (“day of wrath”) | High; ক্রোধ must remain God’s judicial anger, consistent with the ch.1 and ch.5 wrath entries. |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20 | Crown of rejoicing at Christ’s coming | Paul; Thessalonian converts | Proverbs 4:9; Isaiah 28:5 (“a crown of glory… to the remnant of his people”) | Low; ceremonial victor’s-wreath imagery, culturally transferable without adaptation. |
Chapter 3
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Thessalonians 3:5 | The tempter | Satan | Genesis 3:1-5 (the serpent as tempter); Job 1:6-12; 2:1-7 (Satan testing Job); 1 Chronicles 21:1 | Medium; প্রলোভক (শয়তান) must name the personal adversary, not an abstract impersonal force of temptation. |
| 1 Thessalonians 3:13 | Coming of the Lord Jesus with all his saints | Jesus; “all his saints” | Zechariah 14:5 (“the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him”) — direct source text; Deuteronomy 33:2 (the LORD came with holy ones); Daniel 7:13-14 (coming with glory); Matthew 25:31 (Son of Man comes in glory with his angels); Romans 8:19 (sons of God to be revealed); baseline “saints” doctrine (পবিত্র লোক) | Critical: this is the clearest direct OT source for the doctrine “The Return of Christ” and for the phrase “all his saints” (তাঁর সমস্ত পবিত্র লোক). Zechariah 14:5’s “the LORD… and all the holy ones with him” is transferred wholesale to Christ — an implicit high-Christology move that must be preserved, not smoothed into generic “angels.” |
Chapter 4 (verses 1-12)
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 | Sanctification; sexual purity; “Gentiles who do not know God” | Thessalonian believers; “the Gentiles” | Leviticus 18 (sexual-purity code); Jeremiah 10:25; Psalm 79:6 (“pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you”); Romans 1:24-27 (Gentile sexual sin as a consequence of suppressed knowledge of God) | High; direct thematic parallel with Romans 1: both letters link ignorance/rejection of God with disordered sexuality. পরজাতি (baseline reuse) must be rendered identically in both curricula’s discussion of this pattern. |
| 1 Thessalonians 4:6 | ”The Lord is an avenger in all these things” | The Lord (Jesus) | Deuteronomy 32:35 (“Vengeance is mine, and recompense” — Song of Moses) — same source text quoted directly in Romans 12:19 (“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord”) and in Hebrews 10:30 (future curriculum) | Critical cross-curriculum consistency requirement: Deuteronomy 32:35 underlies both Romans 12:19 and 1 Thessalonians 4:6. The Bengali rendering of “avenger/vengeance” (প্রতিফলদাতা / প্রতিশোধ নেবেন) must be the same lexical choice in both curricula so that a learner who has studied Romans recognizes the citation here. Must convey God’s righteous judicial recompense, not a personal grudge or vendetta — sensitive given honor/shame retaliation culture in the region. |
| 1 Thessalonians 4:8 | God who gives his Holy Spirit | Holy Spirit | Ezekiel 36:27 (“I will put my Spirit within you”); Ezekiel 37:14; Joel 2:28-29 (quoted in Acts 2:17-18); Romans 5:5 (“the Spirit… has been given to us”); Romans 8:9-11, 8:15 | High; পবিত্র আত্মা (baseline reuse, Critical) must remain the personal, divine, Spirit-giving God of the new covenant, not an impersonal indwelling force. |
| 1 Thessalonians 4:9 | Brotherly love, “taught by God” | — | Jeremiah 31:33-34 (new-covenant law written on the heart, “they shall all know me”); Isaiah 54:13 (“all your children shall be taught by the LORD,” quoted in John 6:45); Romans 12:10 (φιλαδελφία, same Greek term) | Medium; ভ্রাতৃপ্রেম should be the same rendering used for Romans 12:10 if/when that curriculum is produced, to keep the family-love vocabulary consistent across Paul’s letters. |
Chapter 4 (verses 13-18) — Core Passage
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Thessalonians 4:13 | Grief without hope vs. grief with hope | ”those who sleep”; “the rest who have no hope” | Psalm 88 (lament without resolution); Ecclesiastes 9:5,10 (the dead know nothing — a foil, not an endorsement); contrasted with Job 19:25-27, Isaiah 26:19, Daniel 12:2 (resurrection hope) | High; must frame this as a contrast between hope-filled and hopeless grief traditions, not as biblical endorsement of Ecclesiastes’ this-worldly view of death as final. Culturally load-bearing for the doctrine “Hope in Grief” in a context with strong competing frameworks (Hindu rebirth uncertainty, Islamic uncertainty of final judgment outcome). |
| 1 Thessalonians 4:14 | God will bring the dead with Christ | God; Jesus; “those who have fallen asleep” | Zechariah 14:5 (echo, as in 3:13); Romans 1:4 (resurrection as ground of Christ’s identity) | High; বিশ্বাস করি (we believe) must retain the specific object: that Jesus died and rose — consistent with Romans 10:9’s confession pattern. |
| 1 Thessalonians 4:16 | The Lord descends with a commanding shout, archangel’s voice, and God’s trumpet; the dead in Christ rise first | Jesus (the Lord); an archangel; “the dead in Christ” | Exodus 19:16-19 (trumpet blast at the Sinai theophany); Joel 2:1 (“blow the trumpet in Zion… the day of the LORD is coming”); Zechariah 9:14 (the LORD’s trumpet blown); Isaiah 27:13 (great trumpet gathering the exiles on the day of the LORD); Daniel 7:13 (coming with clouds); Daniel 12:1-2 (Michael the great prince; the dead who sleep in the dust shall awake — direct resurrection-hope source); Isaiah 26:19 (“your dead shall live… awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust”) | Critical: this verse is the doctrinal center of both “Return of Christ” and “Resurrection of Believers.” নেমে আসা must never carry অবতার/অবতরণ associations. Daniel 12:2 and Isaiah 26:19 are the direct OT wellsprings of “the dead in Christ will rise” and should be cited in teaching notes so the resurrection hope is shown as rooted in Israel’s own Scriptures, not a novel Christian invention. |
| 1 Thessalonians 4:17 | Living believers caught up together in the clouds to meet the Lord | Living believers; the Lord | Daniel 7:13 (cloud imagery); Exodus 19 (cloud theophany); Acts 1:9,11 (Christ ascended in a cloud and “will come in the same way” — inverse typological bookend) | High; note the ascension/return inclusio for teaching purposes: the cloud that received Christ at his ascension is the same imagery used for his return. তুলে নেওয়া হবে must depict a visible, bodily, glorious divine action, never an occult vanishing. |
| 1 Thessalonians 4:17 | ”Always with the Lord” | Living and resurrected believers together | Romans 8:38-39 (“nothing… will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus”); Romans 8:34 (Christ’s intercession, guaranteeing believers’ security) | High; the pastoral climax of the passage. Rendering should carry the same assurance register as the Romans 8 “nothing can separate” passage, since both are frequently taught together pastorally. |
Chapter 5
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 | Times and seasons; day of the Lord as a thief; sudden destruction like labor pains | — | Amos 5:18-20; Joel 2:1-2,31; Zephaniah 1:14-18; Isaiah 13:6-9; Malachi 4:1,5 (the Day-of-the-LORD prophetic corpus); Isaiah 13:8, Jeremiah 4:31, Micah 4:9-10, Hosea 13:13 (labor-pains imagery for sudden judgment); “thief in the night” reflects dominical oral tradition (Matthew 24:43-44 / Luke 12:39-40), likely the referent of “the word of the Lord” in 4:15 | Critical; প্রভুর দিন is the technical term inheriting this entire OT prophetic tradition and must be distinguished by translator note from Islamic কিয়ামতের দিন and Hindu cyclical yuga-ending frameworks (already flagged in the Core Glossary). |
| 1 Thessalonians 5:4-5 | Sons of light, not of darkness or night | Believers | Isaiah 2:5 (“let us walk in the light of the LORD”); Isaiah 60:1-3; John 12:36 (“while you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light”); Romans 13:11-14 (“the night is far gone, the day is at hand… let us put on the armor of light… walk properly as in the daytime”) | Critical cross-curriculum parallel: Romans 13:11-14 and 1 Thessalonians 5:1-8 share day/night, sleep/wake, sober/drunk, and armor vocabulary as a single ethical-eschatological unit in Paul’s thought. The Bengali renderings for “day/night” (দিন/রাত্রি), “sleep/awake” (নিদ্রা/জাগ্রত), and “armor” (বর্ম) must be identical across both curricula’s teaching materials. |
| 1 Thessalonians 5:8 | Breastplate of faith and love; helmet, the hope of salvation | Believers | Isaiah 59:17 (“he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation”) — direct OT source of Paul’s armor metaphor, later expanded in Ephesians 6:14-17 (future curriculum); Romans 13:12 (“armor of light”) | High; পরিত্রাণ (baseline reuse, Critical) anchors the “helmet” image; ensure বিশ্বাস ও প্রেমের বর্ম keeps both faith and love visible as distinct paired virtues, echoing Isaiah’s righteousness/salvation pairing. |
| 1 Thessalonians 5:9 | Not destined for wrath but for salvation through Christ | Believers | Romans 5:9 (saved from wrath by Christ’s blood); Romans 8:1 (no condemnation); Romans 9:22 (vessels of wrath, contrastive background) | Critical; পরিত্রাণ and ক্রোধ both recur here; must preserve the same forbidden-substitution rules as Romans (no মুক্তি/মোক্ষ/নাজাত for salvation). |
| 1 Thessalonians 5:10 | Christ died for us, that we might live with him whether we wake or sleep | Jesus; believers | Romans 6:8 (“if we have died with Christ, we believe we will also live with him”); Romans 14:8-9 (“whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s”) | High; substitutionary “for us” (ὑπέρ) must be preserved as vicarious/on-behalf-of, matching how Romans renders Christ’s death “for us”/“for our sins.” |
| 1 Thessalonians 5:17 | ”Pray without ceasing” | Believers | Psalm 55:17; Luke 18:1 (parable urging persistent prayer); Romans 12:12 (“constant in prayer”) | Low-Medium; note continuity with Romans’ teaching on persistent prayer. |
| 1 Thessalonians 5:19 | ”Do not quench the Spirit” | Holy Spirit | Isaiah 4:4 (spirit of judgment/burning — background fire imagery only, not a direct citation) | Medium; avoid over-literalizing the fire metaphor in a way that could evoke Hindu agni/tejas divine-fire associations (already flagged in Core Glossary for other terms). |
| 1 Thessalonians 5:23 | Spirit, soul, and body kept whole at the coming; “the God of peace” | Believers; “the God of peace” | Deuteronomy 6:5 (heart, soul, might — a related but not identical Hebraic holistic-person structure); Numbers 6:24-26 (Aaronic peace-blessing); Judges 6:24 (“The LORD is Peace”); Romans 15:33 and Romans 16:20, both “the God of peace” — exact repeated Pauline phrase | Critical cross-curriculum consistency: “the God of peace” (শান্তির ঈশ্বর) must be rendered identically here and in Romans 15:33/16:20. Also, প্রাণ (soul) must not be confused with আত্মা (spirit/Holy Spirit) nor with জীবাত্মা (Hindu reincarnating soul); see baseline note in Core Glossary. |
| 1 Thessalonians 5:26 | ”Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss” | The Thessalonian congregation | Romans 16:16 (“greet one another with a holy kiss”) — identical phrase | High cross-curriculum consistency requirement: this exact greeting formula also closes Romans. Whatever cultural-adaptation decision is made for পবিত্র অভিবাদন/চুম্বন in Romans 16:16 must be applied identically here; the two occurrences should never diverge in rendering strategy. |
Part B — Messianic References Summary
| Reference | Messianic Content | OT Root | Translation Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Thessalonians 1:10 | ”Wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead” | Daniel 7:13-14 (son-of-man figure coming from heaven with dominion) | Preserve ঈশ্বরের পুত্র (Critical, baseline) intact; the waiting-posture (অপেক্ষা করা) frames the whole letter’s eschatological orientation. |
| 1 Thessalonians 3:13; 4:16 | Christ as the divine “Lord” who personally comes, echoing Zechariah 14:5’s coming of Yahweh himself | Zechariah 14:5; Daniel 7:13-14 | The OT title and action of YHWH’s own eschatological coming is applied directly to Jesus — an implicit deity-of-Christ claim that must not be diluted into a lesser “messenger” or “representative” coming. |
| 1 Thessalonians 5:2,9 | ”Day of the Lord” (originally Yahweh’s day) reapplied as the day of the Lord Jesus’s salvation and judgment | Amos 5:18-20; Joel 2:1,31; cf. Romans 10:13, which quotes Joel 2:32 (“everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”) and applies it to Jesus | Direct cross-curriculum Christological parallel: both letters transfer an OT YHWH-title/day to Jesus. Teaching materials should note this shared pattern explicitly when both curricula are taught in sequence. |
| 1 Thessalonians 4:14 | ”We believe that Jesus died and rose” — the resurrection confession as the ground of all resurrection/return hope | (Confessional core, echoing Romans 10:9’s confession pattern) | Keep বিশ্বাস করি … মৃত্যুবরণ করলেন … পুনরুত্থিত হলেন aligned with how Romans 10:9’s confession is rendered, since both are foundational salvation-confessions. |
Part C — Typology
- Sinai trumpet theophany → eschatological trumpet. Exodus 19:16-19’s trumpet blast at the giving of the law is typologically escalated in 1 Thessalonians 4:16’s “trumpet of God” announcing Christ’s return — old covenant law-giving theophany becomes new covenant consummation theophany.
- The Day of the LORD (Yahweh) → the Day of the Lord Jesus. The entire OT prophetic Day-of-the-LORD corpus (Amos, Joel, Zephaniah, Isaiah, Malachi) is the type; 1 Thessalonians 5 and Romans 2:5/13:11-12 apply it directly to Christ’s return — the fulfillment identifies Jesus with the covenant LORD himself.
- Elijah’s persecution complaint (1 Kings 19:10,14) → pattern of prophetic and apostolic suffering. Used in Romans 11:2-4 to assure a remnant of God’s continuing faithfulness; echoed in 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 as the historical pattern culminating in the killing of “the Lord Jesus and the prophets.” Same OT text, two distinct pastoral applications — theologian review should confirm both are represented accurately and not merged.
- Zechariah 14:5 (the LORD comes with all his holy ones) → Christ’s parousia with all his saints (1 Thessalonians 3:13). Direct prophetic fulfillment typology central to the doctrine “The Return of Christ.”
- Isaiah 59:17 (breastplate of righteousness, helmet of salvation) → Pauline spiritual armor (1 Thessalonians 5:8; Romans 13:12; later Ephesians 6:14-17). A shared OT type reused across the Pauline corpus for ethical readiness in light of the Day of the Lord.
- Daniel 12:2 / Isaiah 26:19 (the dead who sleep in the dust shall awake) → “the dead in Christ will rise” (1 Thessalonians 4:16). The direct OT wellspring of bodily resurrection hope, showing continuity between Israel’s Scriptures and the doctrine of the Resurrection of Believers.
- Christ’s ascension in a cloud (Acts 1:9,11) → Christ’s return, believers caught up in clouds (1 Thessalonians 4:17). An inverse/bookend typology: the cloud that received him at his departure reappears as the setting of his return and of believers’ gathering to him.
Part D — Rendering-Consistency Rules for Shared Quotations and Formulas (This Curriculum ↔ Romans)
| Shared source or formula | Occurrences | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| ”Grace and peace” greeting | 1 Thessalonians 1:1; Romans 1:7 | Render অনুগ্রহ ও শান্তি identically in both. |
| Deuteronomy 32:35 (“vengeance/recompense is mine”) | 1 Thessalonians 4:6; Romans 12:19 | Use identical Bengali vocabulary for “avenger”/“vengeance” (প্রতিফলদাতা / প্রতিশোধ) in both curricula. |
| 1 Kings 19:10,14 (“they have killed your prophets”) | 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 (echo); Romans 11:2-4 (direct quotation) | Render the underlying OT wording identically; flag for theologian review that the two applications (judgment-warning vs. remnant-assurance) differ and require distinct surrounding commentary, not distinct source-text wording. |
| ”The God of peace” | 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Romans 15:33; 16:20 | Render শান্তির ঈশ্বর identically in all three occurrences. |
| ”Greet [one another/all the brothers] with a holy kiss” | 1 Thessalonians 5:26; Romans 16:16 | Apply the same cultural-adaptation decision (whether literal পবিত্র চুম্বন or an adapted পবিত্র অভিবাদন with an explanatory note) identically in both letters; do not let the two occurrences diverge. |
| Day/night, sleep/wake, sober/drunk, armor-of-light ethical unit | 1 Thessalonians 5:1-8; Romans 13:11-14 | Use the same Bengali lexical set (দিন/রাত্রি, নিদ্রা/জাগ্রত, বর্ম) across both passages so learners recognize the shared Pauline eschatological-ethical pattern. |
| Resurrection root (ἀνάστασις/ἀνίστημι/ἐγείρω) | Throughout 1 Thessalonians 1, 4; throughout Romans | পুনরুত্থান/পুনরুত্থিত must remain the exclusive rendering; never পুনর্জন্ম, in either curriculum. |
| ἐκλογή (election) | 1 Thessalonians 1:4; Romans 9:11-12; 11:5-7 | ঈশ্বরের মনোনয়ন (baseline) used identically; teaching notes should present the church’s election in 1 Thessalonians as continuous with, not competing against, Israel’s election discussed in Romans 9–11. |
| φιλαδελφία (brotherly love) | 1 Thessalonians 4:9; Romans 12:10 | ভ্রাতৃপ্রেম used identically in both. |
| ”The wrath to come” / “day of wrath” | 1 Thessalonians 1:10; 5:9; Romans 1:18; 2:5; 5:9 | ক্রোধ (wrath) rendered consistently as God’s righteous judicial anger throughout both curricula; never রাগ or কোপ. |
This analysis extends, and never contradicts, the baseline Romans translation_memory.json, bible_term_registry.json, and doctrine_risk_registry.json. All Critical/High risk determinations here are consistent with the risk framework established in those files.
