Saints

Older Bengali Bible translations rendered “saints” as সাধুগণ; this curriculum breaks from that precedent because সাধু is a specific, culturally vivid image of a Hindu or Jain wandering ascetic renunciate in Bengal. Paul addresses every ordinary believer in Rome as পবিত্র লোক, not an ascetic elite.
