Cross-Reference Analysis
09 — Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis: 2 Thessalonians (Full Book)
Method and Scope
This document traces every Old Testament quotation and allusion, every messianic reference, every typological pattern, and every parallel to the Romans curriculum (already localized into Bengali) across the whole of 2 Thessalonians — chapters 1, 2, and 3 in full, not merely the core passage. Citations use the normalized “Book Chapter:Verse” key so that Phase 2 tooling can resolve references programmatically; destination-script citation formatting for the finished Bengali curriculum text itself follows the conventions already fixed in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md (রোমীয় ৩:২৩-style book names, Arabic numerals for verses).
Governing rule: Where a cross-referenced passage or term has already been localized in the Romans Language Package, this document requires the SAME Bengali rendering be reused in 2 Thessalonians materials — never a re-translation from scratch. Rendering-consistency rules are given in Part D.
Part A — Cross-Reference Matrix
| # | Passage (2 Thessalonians) | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 Thessalonians 1:5-6 | God’s Righteous Judgment | God (the Judge) | Allusion: Deuteronomy 32:35 (“Vengeance is mine, and recompense”); cf. Romans 2:5-11 (God’s righteous judgment rendered to each according to works) | High. ধার্মিক বিচার (righteous judgment) must be built on the baseline ধার্মিক root (see 08 §B.13), keeping this passage’s judgment-vocabulary visibly continuous with Romans’ forensic-righteousness vocabulary rather than introducing a separate word family (e.g., ন্যায্য) that would sever the cross-curriculum link. |
| 2 | 2 Thessalonians 1:6 | God’s Righteous Judgment (retribution) | God | Allusion: Deuteronomy 32:35; Isaiah 66:6 (the LORD rendering recompense to his enemies) | High. প্রতিফল দেওয়া must read as judicial recompense, not communal revenge (see 08 §B.12 on ἐκδίκησις below, same semantic field). |
| 3 | 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8 | The Day of the Lord (judgment in fire) | The Lord Jesus, his mighty angels | Allusion: Isaiah 66:15-16 (“the LORD will come with fire… to execute judgment”); Daniel 7:9-10 (fiery throne of judgment) | Critical. The fire-judgment imagery must not be softened into a generic metaphor of divine anger; it names the specific OT theophanic pattern of YHWH’s judgment-coming now transferred to Jesus (see Part B, Messianic References). |
| 4 | 2 Thessalonians 1:8 | Universal Human Accountability / God’s Righteous Judgment | Those who do not know God; those who disobey the gospel | Allusion: Isaiah 66:4; Jeremiah 10:25 (“pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you”); Psalm 79:6 | High. “Obedience of the gospel” here reuses the baseline’s established বিশ্বাসের বাধ্যতা (obedience of faith) conceptual field (Romans 1:5, 10:16, 16:26); render consistently as বাধ্যতা-family vocabulary rather than a separate word for “disobey.” |
| 5 | 2 Thessalonians 1:9 | God’s Righteous Judgment (eternal destruction) | Those who reject God and the gospel | Allusion: Isaiah 2:10, 19, 21 (“hide… from the terror of the LORD, and from the splendor of his majesty”) | Critical. অনন্ত বিনাশ (08 §B.11) must never be rendered with প্রলয় (cyclical Hindu cosmic dissolution). |
| 6 | 2 Thessalonians 1:10 | Christ’s Glory Manifested in the Saints | Jesus Christ, the saints (পবিত্র লোক) | Allusion: Psalm 89:7 (God glorified/feared among his holy ones); Isaiah 49:3 | High. মহিমা (glory, baseline-established) and পবিত্র লোক (saints, baseline-established) must both be reused exactly. |
| 7 | 2 Thessalonians 1:12 | Glorification of the Name of the Lord | Jesus Christ | Allusion: Isaiah 66:5; cf. Romans 15:9 (Christ’s name confessed/praised among the Gentiles) | Medium. Reuse established প্রভু এবং মহিমান্বিত হওয়া consistently with Romans 15:9’s rendering of the same “name glorified among the nations” motif. |
| 8 | 2 Thessalonians 2:1 | The Day of the Lord / Christ’s Parousia | Jesus Christ | NT parallel: Matthew 24:31 (gathering of the elect); 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (the prior letter’s fuller teaching on the same gathering, ἐπισυναγωγή) | Critical. আগমন (parousia, 08 §B.8) must be used consistently; this verse’s ἐπισυναγωγή (“gathering together”) must be kept visibly connected to, but distinct from, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17’s rapture teaching if that letter is ever localized in this language pair — flag for future curriculum consistency. |
| 9 | 2 Thessalonians 2:2 | The Day of the Lord | — | Allusion: Joel 2:1 (“the day of the LORD is coming”); Malachi 4:5; cf. Amos 5:18-20 (warning against presuming the Day is a day of comfort, not judgment) | Critical. প্রভুর দিন (08 §B.1) must not be confused with কিয়ামত or যুগান্ত/কল্পান্ত. |
| 10 | 2 Thessalonians 2:3 | The Man of Lawlessness / Apostasy | The Man of Lawlessness | Allusion: Daniel 11:36 (“the king shall… magnify himself above every god”); Daniel 8:23-25 (a contemptible king who destroys through deceit) | Critical. ব্যবস্থাহীনতার মানুষ (08 §B.2) is the NT development of a recognizable OT tyrant-type figure; theologian review required to ensure the Daniel typology is not lost in translation. |
| 11 | 2 Thessalonians 2:3 | The Man of Lawlessness (son of destruction) | The Man of Lawlessness; contrasted with Jesus, the Son of God | NT parallel: John 17:12 (Judas called “the son of destruction,” υἱὸς τῆς ἀπωλείας — the exact same Greek phrase, applied to a human traitor) | Critical. বিনাশের পুত্র (08 §B.4) recurs in John 17:12 describing Judas; this is a real, load-bearing NT intertextual link (not merely 2 Thessalonians’ invention) and should be preserved identically if John’s Gospel is later localized in this language pair. Mandatory translator note distinguishing from ঈশ্বরের পুত্র remains in force regardless. |
| 12 | 2 Thessalonians 2:4 | The Man of Lawlessness (self-exaltation; enthronement in the temple) | The Man of Lawlessness | Allusion: Daniel 11:36-37; Isaiah 14:13-14 (“I will ascend… I will make myself like the Most High” — the king of Babylon’s boast); Ezekiel 28:2 (the prince of Tyre: “you have said, I am a god”); Daniel 9:27, 12:11 (the abomination that desolates the sanctuary) | Critical. This verse braids together three distinct OT self-deifying-tyrant texts into a single eschatological figure. ঈশ্বরের মন্দির (08 §B.19) and the self-exaltation vocabulary must retain enough specificity that Bengali readers can, with footnoting, trace the figure back to these three OT antecedents rather than reading it as a free-floating symbol. |
| 13 | 2 Thessalonians 2:5 | (Recall of Paul’s earlier oral teaching) | Paul | No direct OT/NT citation; refers back to 1 Thessalonians’ oral teaching context | Low. |
| 14 | 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 | The Restrainer / Providence | The Restrainer (unnamed; identity debated) | Typological parallel: Genesis 18:16-33 (judgment on Sodom delayed for a purpose — the pattern of divinely appointed delay before judgment); cf. Romans 8:28 (God’s providential ordering of “all things,” ঈশ্বরের পরিচালনা, baseline term) and Romans 13:1-7 (governing authorities as an ordained restraining structure — one interpretive candidate for the restrainer’s identity) | Critical. নিবারক বিষয় / নিবারণকারী (08 §B.6) must preserve interpretive ambiguity; do not resolve toward the Romans 13 “authorities” reading or any single view in translation, only in an optional theologian’s footnote. |
| 15 | 2 Thessalonians 2:8 | Christ’s Parousia / Messianic Judgment | Jesus Christ, the Man of Lawlessness | Direct quotation/close allusion: Isaiah 11:4 (“with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked”) | Critical. তাঁর মুখের নিঃশ্বাস must be recognizable as the same messianic-king imagery already cross-referenced in the Romans package at Romans 15:12 (“the root of Jesse,” Isaiah 11:10, baseline-adjacent). If the two curricula are studied together, the shared Isaiah 11 source must read as one coherent messianic portrait, not two unrelated images. |
| 16 | 2 Thessalonians 2:9 | The Man of Lawlessness (counterfeit signs) | Satan, the Man of Lawlessness | Allusion: Deuteronomy 13:1-3 (a warning against a prophet whose sign or wonder comes true, testing whether Israel will follow other gods); Exodus 7:11-12, 22 (Pharaoh’s magicians’ counterfeit signs); NT parallel: Matthew 24:24 (false christs and false prophets performing great signs and wonders) | Critical. প্রতারণামূলক পরাক্রম and মিথ্যার চিহ্ন ও আশ্চর্য কাজ (08 §B.9) must retain the Deuteronomy 13 test-of-true-versus-false-revelation logic; the point is not that the signs are unreal but that they are deceptive and God-opposing. |
| 17 | 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 | God’s Righteous Judgment / Judicial Hardening | God, those who are perishing | Allusion: Isaiah 66:4 (God’s own judicial response to prior rejection); Exodus 4:21, 9:12 (the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart, a prior canonical instance of divine judicial hardening following human resistance); NT parallel: Romans 1:24-28 (“God gave them up,” a structurally identical judicial-hardening pattern already established in the Romans package) | Critical. ভ্রান্তির কার্যকরতা (08 §B.10 word-family) must be handled with the same care the Romans package required at Romans 1:24-28 — a judicial response to prior human refusal, not an arbitrary or unprovoked divine act. Theologian review mandatory; cross-check rendering logic against how Romans 1:24-28 was (or will be) rendered for consistency of theological framing. |
| 18 | 2 Thessalonians 2:13 | Election / Divine Calling | God, the believers at Thessalonica | Allusion: Deuteronomy 7:6-8 (God’s sovereign, love-motivated choosing of Israel, not based on their merit — the OT root pattern behind NT election language); NT parallel: Romans 8:28-30, Romans 9:11-13 (baseline “election,” ঈশ্বরের মনোনয়ন) | Critical. মনোনীত করা (08 §B — εἵλατο entry in 07) must be built on the same root as baseline ঈশ্বরের মনোনয়ন to preserve doctrinal-vocabulary continuity between the two curricula’s election teaching. |
| 19 | 2 Thessalonians 2:14 | Calling to Glory | God, Jesus Christ | NT parallel: Romans 8:29-30 (the called-justified-glorified sequence, baseline-established আহ্বান and মহিমা) | High. Reuse আহ্বান and মহিমা exactly as in Romans. |
| 20 | 2 Thessalonians 2:15 | Standing Firm in the Traditions | Paul (apostle) | NT parallel: 1 Corinthians 11:2 (holding to the traditions delivered by Paul); Romans 6:17 (obedience “to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,” a structurally similar apostolic-teaching-authority claim); cf. Jude 1:3 (the faith once delivered) | High. শিক্ষা (08 §B.17) must be checked against how Romans 6:17’s “standard of teaching” (τύπος διδαχῆς) is rendered, to keep the apostolic-authority vocabulary of the two letters visibly related. |
| 21 | 2 Thessalonians 3:1 | The Word of the Lord Advancing | Paul, the Lord | Allusion: Psalm 147:15 (“he sends out his word… it runs swiftly”); Isaiah 55:11 (God’s word accomplishing its purpose) | Medium. |
| 22 | 2 Thessalonians 3:2 | Perseverance under Persecution | Paul, “wicked and evil men” | NT parallel: Romans 15:31 (Paul’s prayer for deliverance from unbelievers in Judea — structurally the same request for protection from hostile opposition) | Medium. |
| 23 | 2 Thessalonians 3:3 | Perseverance under Persecution / Divine Protection | The Lord, “the evil one” (Satan) | NT parallel: John 17:15 (Jesus’ prayer, “keep them from the evil one”); Matthew 6:13 (the Lord’s Prayer’s “deliver us from evil/the evil one”) | Medium/High. See 07’s note on শয়তান — Medium risk, standard shared transliteration. |
| 24 | 2 Thessalonians 3:5 | Perseverance under Persecution (Christ’s own endurance as model) | Jesus Christ | NT parallel: Romans 5:3-5 (suffering produces endurance, ধৈর্য, already load-bearing there); Romans 8:35-39 (nothing can separate believers from Christ’s love amid tribulation) | High. ধৈর্য (08 §B.16) and প্রেম (08 §B.15) must both be reused exactly as fixed for this curriculum; cross-check tonal consistency with Romans 5:3-5 and 8:35-39 if both curricula circulate together. |
| 25 | 2 Thessalonians 3:6 | Standing Firm in the Traditions (disciplinary application) | Paul, the church | NT parallel: Matthew 18:15-17 (the pattern of corrective church discipline) | Medium/High. শিক্ষা must render identically to 2:15 (see row 20) for internal doctrinal continuity. |
| 26 | 2 Thessalonians 3:7-9 | Apostolic Example | Paul | NT parallel: 1 Corinthians 11:1 (“imitate me, as I imitate Christ”); Romans 15:18-19 (what Christ has accomplished through Paul’s ministry — baseline Christ-Centered Ministry doctrine) | Medium. Cross-reference the Romans doctrine registry’s “christ_centered_ministry” entry; Paul’s self-supporting labor here is presented as one expression of that same Christ-centered ministry pattern. |
| 27 | 2 Thessalonians 3:10 | Practical Holiness / Work Ethic | — | Allusion: Genesis 3:19 (the toil of fallen human labor); Proverbs 6:6-11 (against sluggardness) | Low. |
| 28 | 2 Thessalonians 3:14-15 | Church Discipline / Perseverance in Community | The disobedient believer; the church | NT parallel: Matthew 18:17 (treatment of the unrepentant within the community); 1 Corinthians 5:11 (not associating with a professing believer in unrepentant sin) | High (cultural-pastoral). See 07’s note on ἐντρέπω/লজ্জিত হওয়া — honor/shame sensitivity flagged for native-speaker review. |
| 29 | 2 Thessalonians 3:16 | Peace from the Lord | Jesus Christ (“the Lord of peace”) | Allusion: Numbers 6:26 (Aaronic blessing, “the LORD… give you peace”); NT parallel: Romans 15:33 (“the God of peace be with you all,” structurally identical closing-benediction formula) | Medium. Render প্রভু + শান্তি reusing both baseline terms; align tonally with Romans 15:33’s closing benediction if both curricula circulate together. |
| 30 | 2 Thessalonians 3:17 | Apostolic Authentication | Paul | NT parallel: 1 Corinthians 16:21; Galatians 6:11 (Paul’s autograph as a mark of letter authenticity) | Low. |
Part B — Messianic References
2 Thessalonians contains no direct messianic “proof-text” quotation in the classic Romans-style pattern (e.g., Romans 15:12’s citation of Isaiah 11:10), but it contains one of the New Testament’s most theologically weighty messianic identifications by transferal:
-
The Day of the Lord, transferred to Christ (2 Thessalonians 2:1-2, cf. 1:7-10). Throughout the Old Testament, “the Day of the LORD” (יוֹם יהוה) is YHWH’s own day of judgment and vindication (see Joel 2:1, Amos 5:18-20, Malachi 4:5, Isaiah 13:6, Zephaniah 1:14). Paul applies this OT title directly to the return of Jesus, without qualification. This is an implicit but forceful claim to Christ’s full deity — the same theological territory the Romans baseline flags as Critical for Lordship of Christ (κύριος) and Deity of Christ (Romans 1:4, 9:5, 10:9). Translators must recognize that প্রভুর দিন is not merely “a day belonging to a lord” in a generic sense but the OT’s own YHWH-day now predicated of Jesus — theologically continuous with, and dependent on, the Romans package’s already-established প্রভু = exclusive, supreme Lordship.
-
Isaiah 11:4 fulfilled in Christ’s parousia (2 Thessalonians 2:8). The messianic king of Isaiah 11 — who judges with righteousness and “with the breath of his lips … kill[s] the wicked” — is here explicitly Jesus at his return. This is a direct messianic-fulfillment link and should be footnoted as such; it is the same messianic figure the Romans package cross-references at Romans 15:12 (Isaiah 11:10, “the root of Jesse”).
-
Christ as the object and agent of glorification (2 Thessalonians 1:9-10, 12; 2:14). The believer’s glorification “in him” and the Lord’s own glorification “in his saints” echoes the OT pattern of YHWH glorified among his covenant people (Isaiah 49:3, Psalm 89:7) — again predicated of Jesus without qualification.
Translation sensitivity: All three of these messianic identifications carry Critical risk parallel to the Romans baseline’s Deity-of-Christ and Lordship-of-Christ entries. Any softening — e.g., translating “the Day of the Lord” so generically that its OT theophanic weight is lost, or translating Isaiah 11:4’s allusion as generic violence-imagery rather than messianic judgment — would blunt Paul’s implicit high Christology. Theologian review is mandatory wherever these three motifs occur.
Part C — Typology
| Type (OT figure/pattern) | Antitype/Fulfillment (2 Thessalonians) | Typological Logic | Translation Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| The king of Babylon’s self-exaltation boast (Isaiah 14:13-14: “I will ascend… I will make myself like the Most High”) | The Man of Lawlessness’s self-exaltation (2 Thessalonians 2:4) | A recurring biblical pattern: proud human rulers who arrogate divine honor to themselves, culminating in one final, ultimate instance | Preserve the “exalting himself” vocabulary (নিজেকে উচ্চ করা) so the pattern-recognition is available to Bengali readers who study Isaiah 14 alongside this passage. |
| The prince of Tyre’s self-deification (“you have said, I am a god,” Ezekiel 28:2) | The Man of Lawlessness’s self-declared deity (2 Thessalonians 2:4) | Same pattern as above, from a second OT tyrant oracle | Same as above; ensure নিজেকে ঈশ্বর বলে প্রমাণ করার চেষ্টা করা echoes this claim’s brazenness. |
| Antiochus IV Epiphanes / the contemptible king who desecrates the sanctuary (Daniel 8:23-25; 11:31-36; the “abomination that desolates,” Daniel 9:27, 12:11) | The Man of Lawlessness enthroned in “the temple of God” (2 Thessalonians 2:4) | The clearest and most direct OT typological antecedent: a historical tyrant who defiled the Jerusalem Temple prefigures a final, greater eschatological figure who does likewise | Mandatory theologian review (already flagged in 08 §B.19); a footnote naming this Daniel typology is strongly recommended so Bengali readers do not treat “the temple” as an isolated, unprecedented image. |
| Pharaoh’s hardened heart following prior resistance to God’s revealed will (Exodus 4:21; 7:13-14; 9:12) | God’s judicial “sending” of a “strong delusion” on those who “refused to love the truth” (2 Thessalonians 2:10-11) | The pattern of divine judicial hardening as a response to — never the cause of — prior human rejection | See row 17 above; align rendering logic with how Romans 1:24-28’s “God gave them up” pattern is handled, since both texts describe the same theological mechanism. |
| Judgment on Sodom delayed while Abraham interceded (Genesis 18:16-33) | The Restrainer delaying the Man of Lawlessness’s revealing “until he is out of the midst” (2 Thessalonians 2:6-7) | Divine judgment operates on God’s own appointed timetable, often delayed for a purpose not fully disclosed to onlookers | Preserve the ambiguity of purpose in translation (see 08 §B.6); do not resolve why the delay exists, only that it is purposeful and temporary. |
| The messianic king of Isaiah 11 who judges by the breath of his mouth | Christ destroying the lawless one “with the breath of his mouth” at his ἐπιφάνεια (2 Thessalonians 2:8) | Direct fulfillment, not merely analogical typology — Isaiah’s messianic portrait is realized in Christ’s eschatological victory | See Part B §2 above. |
| Joseph’s God-ordained delay/positioning before famine relief (Genesis 45:5-8, “God sent me before you to preserve life”) — offered here as a supplementary interpretive analogy, not a strict type | The Restrainer’s providential, purposive delay (2 Thessalonians 2:6-7) | A weaker, secondary illustrative parallel (not a strict OT type-antitype pair) sometimes invoked in commentary to illustrate purposive divine delay; include only as background context, not as an authoritative cross-reference | Low priority; may be omitted from footnotes if space is limited. |
Part D — Parallels to the Romans Curriculum and Rendering-Consistency Rules
Because both curricula share the same language pair and the same translation memory, the following shared or structurally parallel material MUST be rendered identically (or, where the underlying Greek differs but the doctrine is the same, built on the same Bengali root family) across both curricula.
| Shared/Parallel Element | Romans Locus | 2 Thessalonians Locus | Rendering-Consistency Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grace-and-peace epistolary greeting | Romans 1:7 | 2 Thessalonians 1:2 | অনুগ্রহ ও শান্তি — identical formula, both baseline terms, no variation permitted. |
| God’s righteous judgment on all people | Romans 2:5-11 | 2 Thessalonians 1:5-9 | Both must use the ধার্মিক root for “righteous” in “righteous judgment”; see Part A row 1. |
| Obedience of the gospel / obedience of faith | Romans 1:5; 10:16; 16:26 | 2 Thessalonians 1:8 | Render “disobey the gospel” as the negation of the baseline বিশ্বাসের বাধ্যতা (obedience of faith) word-family, not as an unrelated new term for disobedience. |
| Judicial hardening pattern (“God gave them up” / “God sends a strong delusion”) | Romans 1:24-28 | 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11 | Use structurally parallel judicial-consequence phrasing in both; theologian review required at both loci to ensure the same “prior refusal → divine judicial response” logic is preserved, never reversed into “arbitrary divine causation.” |
| Election / effectual calling | Romans 8:28-30; 9:11-13 (ঈশ্বরের মনোনয়ন) | 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 | মনোনীত করা must be built on the same root as ঈশ্বরের মনোনয়ন. আহ্বান (calling) and মহিমা (glory) reused exactly. |
| Providence (“all things work together”) | Romans 8:28 (ঈশ্বরের পরিচালনা) | 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 (the Restrainer) | Both concern God’s purposive governance of history; do not use two unrelated Bengali concepts for what is theologically the same doctrine of providence, even though the restrainer’s precise identity remains a debated point unique to 2 Thessalonians. |
| Power of God vs. counterfeit power | Romans 1:16 (ঈশ্বরের সামর্থ্য) | 2 Thessalonians 2:9 (প্রতারণামূলক পরাক্রম, Satan’s derivative power) | সামর্থ্য is reserved exclusively for God’s genuine power in BOTH curricula; পরাক্রম, always qualified as deceptive, is introduced specifically and only for Satan’s counterfeit power. Never interchange these two terms. |
| Apostolic teaching authority (“standard of teaching” / “traditions”) | Romans 6:17 (τύπος διδαχῆς) | 2 Thessalonians 2:15; 3:6 (শিক্ষা) | Ensure the Bengali rendering of Romans 6:17, when produced, uses vocabulary compatible with শিক্ষা so both letters’ apostolic-authority claims read as one coherent doctrine of authoritative apostolic transmission. |
| Endurance/perseverance amid suffering | Romans 5:3-5; 8:35-39 (ধৈর্য implied) | 2 Thessalonians 1:4; 3:5 (ধৈর্য, named doctrine) | Use ধৈর্য consistently in both; where Romans 5:3-4 discusses suffering producing endurance, ensure vocabulary is compatible with 2 Thessalonians’ fuller doctrinal development of Perseverance under Persecution. |
| Love (ἀγάπη) | Romans 5:5, 8:35, 12:9-10, 13:8-10 (প্রেম, established) | 2 Thessalonians 1:3; 3:5 (প্রেম) | Identical term and identical bhakti-collision caution note in both curricula. |
| Closing benediction, “God/Lord of peace” | Romans 15:33; 16:20 | 2 Thessalonians 3:16 | প্রভু/ঈশ্বর + শান্তি, consistent closing-benediction register across both letters. |
| Salvation vocabulary | Romans 1:16; 10:1, 10, 13; throughout | 2 Thessalonians 2:10, 13 | পরিত্রাণ reused exactly; never মুক্তি/মোক্ষ/নাজাত in either curriculum. |
| Faith and its object | Romans throughout (বিশ্বাস) | 2 Thessalonians 1:3-4, 11; 2:13; 3:2 (বিশ্বাস) | Identical term; object of faith always specified in context per baseline instruction. |
Consistency enforcement note for Phase 2: When translation memory is loaded for 2 Thessalonians segment processing, any occurrence of a term listed in the left column above must trigger a lookup against BOTH the Romans-baseline entry and the newly proposed 2 Thessalonians entry (per 08_core_glossary.md) to confirm no drift has occurred between the two curricula’s renderings.
This document is a Phase 1 Step 3 deliverable. It must be read alongside 10_biblical_theme_map.md (thematic structure), 07_semantic_analysis.md (term-level exegesis), and 08_core_glossary.md (proposed translation-memory additions). All Romans-baseline renderings referenced here remain governed by the baseline translation_memory.json, bible_term_registry.json, and doctrine_risk_registry.json.
