| regeneration / new birth | παλιγγενεσία (palingenesia) | নতুন জন্ম | Critical — maximum caution | 3:5 | NEVER পুনর্জন্ম (reincarnation) — the Greek’s own “again-birth” etymology makes this the single highest collision-risk term in the book; add to curriculum forbidden-substitution list |
| washing | λουτρόν (loutron) | ধৌতকরণ | Critical | 3:5 | NEVER স্নান (Hindu ritual bathing) or শুচি/শুদ্ধিকরণ (already-rejected ritual-purity terms) |

C. Forbidden Substitutions Introduced by This Curriculum (in addition to baseline list)
| Concept | NEVER use | ALWAYS use | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regeneration / new birth | পুনর্জন্ম | নতুন জন্ম | Reincarnation collision — extends baseline’s resurrection rule to the etymologically identical “rebirth” concept |
| Washing (of regeneration) | স্নান, শুচি, শুদ্ধিকরণ | ধৌতকরণ | Hindu ritual-bathing/ritual-purity collision |
| Appeared / manifested (of grace, glory, kindness) | আবির্ভাব / আবির্ভূত হওয়া | প্রকাশ / প্রকাশিত হওয়া | Avatar-descent collision — extends দেহধারণ-vs-অবতার rule to all ἐπιφαίνω-family occurrences |
| Redeem / ransom | মুক্তি (bare) | উদ্ধার করা | Moksha/rebirth-liberation collision — extends baseline’s salvation rule |
| Lawlessness | অধর্ম | ব্যবস্থাহীনতা | Dharma/religion collision — extends baseline’s righteousness rule |
D. Escalation Notes for Phase 2
The following Titus-specific term clusters require mandatory human theologian review at every occurrence, in addition to the baseline’s existing escalation list:
- Titus 2:13’s “great God and Savior Jesus Christ” (deity of Christ, single-Person grammar)
- Titus 3:5’s παλιγγενεσία/λουτρόν (regeneration/washing) — the highest collision-risk term pairing in the book
- Titus 2:14 and 3:5’s redemption/justification/grace-vs-works cluster
- Any occurrence of εὐσέβεια/ὅσιος (bhakti-collision family) — flag for translator-note insertion even though risk is not Critical, given the scale of the potential syncretism
- Any occurrence of ὑποτάσσω across household, slave, and civil-authority contexts (2:5, 2:9, 3:1)
Critical Risk Terms
Appeared
Approved rendering: প্রকাশিত হওয়া
Transliteration: prokashito howa
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living / Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: আবির্ভাব, আবির্ভূত হওয়া
New term. Titus 2:11 (grace appeared), 2:13 (glory’s appearing), 3:4 (kindness appeared). আবির্ভাব is the standard Bengali Vaishnava term for a deity’s avatar-descent (কৃষ্ণের আবির্ভাব); extends the baseline’s দেহধারণ-vs-অবতার rule to the entire ἐπιφαίνω word family. NEVER use আবির্ভাব.
God
Approved rendering: ঈশ্বর
Transliteration: Ishshor
Doctrine: Deity of Christ / God our Savior
Rejected alternatives: ভগবান, আল্লাহ
Inherited from Romans package. Occurs Titus 1:1-4,7,9,16; 2:5,10,11,13; 3:4,8. Never ভগবান/আল্লাহ.
Great God And Savior
Approved rendering: মহান ঈশ্বর ও পরিত্রাতা যীশু খ্রীষ্ট
Transliteration: mohan Ishshor o poritrata Jishu Khrishto
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: মহান ঈশ্বরের এবং আমাদের ত্রাণকর্তা যীশু খ্রীষ্টের (two-referent JW/Watchtower-style split)
New term. Titus 2:13’s single Greek article governs both ‘great God’ and ‘Savior’, identifying Jesus Christ as ONE Person bearing both titles. Bengali word order must preserve unambiguous apposition. Mandatory human theologian review at every occurrence; do not echo Jehovah’s Witness/Watchtower-style renderings that split this into two referents.
Holy Spirit
Approved rendering: পবিত্র আত্মা
Transliteration: Pobitro Attha
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Rejected alternatives: ব্রহ্ম, পরমাত্মা
Inherited from Romans package. Titus 3:5 pairs this term directly with the Critical-tier regeneration/washing cluster, compounding syncretism stakes.
Jesus
Approved rendering: যীশু
Transliteration: Jishu
Doctrine: Deity of Christ / Lordship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: ঈসা
Inherited from Romans package. Occurs Titus 1:1,4; 2:13; 3:6. Never ঈসা (Qur’anic-idiom form).
Justification
Approved rendering: ধার্মিক বলে গণ্য হওয়া
Transliteration: dharmik bole gonyo howa
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: ক্ষমা পাওয়া, পুণ্য লাভ করা
Inherited from Romans package. Titus 3:7 ties directly to the Romans 3-5 forensic doctrine. Never abbreviate to ক্ষমা alone.
Messiah
Approved rendering: খ্রীষ্ট
Transliteration: Khrishto
Doctrine: Deity of Christ / Messianic Promise
Rejected alternatives: মশীহ, অবতার পুরুষ
Inherited from Romans package. Occurs Titus 1:1,4; 2:13; 3:6. Never মশীহ.
Redeem
Approved rendering: উদ্ধার করা
Transliteration: uddhar kora
Doctrine: Christ’s Redemptive Self-Giving
Rejected alternatives: মুক্তি (bare)
New term. λυτρώσηται, Titus 2:14. NEVER bare মুক্তি — its dominant Bengali sense is liberation from the karmic rebirth cycle, not a ransom paid by a substitute for guilt before a personal God. Fuller form মূল্য দিয়ে উদ্ধার করা available where the ransom-price nuance is load-bearing. Atonement-class term; mandatory theologian review.
Regeneration
Approved rendering: নতুন জন্ম
Transliteration: notun jonmo
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Rejected alternatives: পুনর্জন্ম
New term — MAXIMUM CAUTION, highest collision-risk term pairing in the book. παλιγγενεσία, Titus 3:5. The Greek’s own etymology (‘again’ + ‘birth’) morphologically mirrors পুনর্জন্ম, the Bengali word for reincarnation; NEVER use পুনর্জন্ম. Add to curriculum’s absolute forbidden-substitution list alongside পুনরুত্থান. Mandatory translator note and mandatory human theologian review at every occurrence.
Righteousness
Approved rendering: ধার্মিকতা
Transliteration: dharmikota
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: ধর্ম, পুণ্য, ন্যায়
Inherited from Romans package. Titus 3:5’s negation (‘not by works… in righteousness… but according to his mercy’) is this letter’s sharpest use of the term. Never ধর্ম.
Salvation
Approved rendering: পরিত্রাণ
Transliteration: poritran
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: মুক্তি, মোক্ষ, নাজাত
Inherited from Romans package. Root for σωτήρ/σῴζω forms throughout Titus (1:3,4; 2:10,13; 3:4,5,6). Never মুক্তি/মোক্ষ/নাজাত.
Saved Verb
Approved rendering: পরিত্রাণ দিলেন
Transliteration: poritran dilen
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: রক্ষা করলেন (bare, root-severing)
New term. ἔσωσεν (aorist of σῴζω), Titus 3:5. Verb form of TM পরিত্রাণ; keeps noun root visible for cross-curriculum consistency.
Washing
Approved rendering: ধৌতকরণ
Transliteration: dhoutokoron
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Rejected alternatives: স্নান, শুচি, শুদ্ধিকরণ
New term. λουτρόν, Titus 3:5. স্নান evokes Hindu sacred ritual bathing; শুচি/শুদ্ধিকরণ already rejected in baseline for ritual-purity reasons. ধৌতকরণ describes the act of washing without invoking either frame.
High Risk Terms
Divisive Person
Approved rendering: দলাদলিকারী ব্যক্তি
Transliteration: doladolikari byakti
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Rejected alternatives: ধর্মদ্রোহী (over-translated ‘heretic’)
New term. αἱρετικὸς ἄνθρωπος, Titus 3:10. Targets one who creates division specifically; must not be over-translated toward a formal excommunication-procedure term, nor under-translated as mere disagreement.
Elder
Approved rendering: প্রাচীন
Transliteration: prachin
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Rejected alternatives: মুরুব্বি/মাতব্বর (village elder), গুরু (Hindu guru)
New term. πρεσβύτερος, Titus 1:5. A defined ecclesial office with the qualifications of 1:6-9, not an informal community-elder or guru/pir role. Distinguish from unrelated generic age-term πρεσβύτης (‘older man,’ 2:2) despite shared root.
Election
Approved rendering: ঈশ্বরের মনোনয়ন / মনোনীত
Transliteration: Ishshorer monownoyon / mononito
Doctrine: Divine Calling and Election
Rejected alternatives: ভাগ্য, নিয়তি, কর্মফল
Inherited from Romans package. Titus 1:1, ‘the faith of God’s elect.’ Never karma-fate vocabulary.
Faith
Approved rendering: বিশ্বাস
Transliteration: bishwas
Doctrine: Faith
Rejected alternatives: ঈমান, শ্রদ্ধা
Inherited from Romans package. Occurs Titus 1:1,4,13; 2:2; 3:8,15. Object of faith (e.g., θεῷ in 3:8) must remain explicit.
Father
Approved rendering: পিতা
Transliteration: Pita
Doctrine: Deity of Christ (greeting formula, Titus 1:4)
Rejected alternatives: ব্রহ্মা, সৃষ্টিকর্তা
Inherited from Romans package. Titus 1:4 pairs ‘God the Father’ with ‘Christ Jesus our Savior’ in a single greeting; never substitute a Hindu creator-deity name.
Godliness
Approved rendering: ভক্তি
Transliteration: bhokti
Doctrine: Godliness and Reverent Piety
New term (established Bengali Bible rendering, retained). εὐσέβεια, Titus 1:1; 2:12 (εὐσεβῶς). MAJOR COLLISION: ভক্তি is the central term of Bengali Vaishnava bhakti-mārga devotionalism (Chaitanya tradition), one path among several toward liberation via devotion to a chosen deity. Retained per established translation tradition but requires a mandatory translator note at first occurrence in every curriculum unit distinguishing Christian eusebeia from Hindu bhakti-mārga.
Good Works
Approved rendering: সৎকর্ম
Transliteration: shotkormo
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works / Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: পুণ্য কাজ, নেক আমল
New term. καλὰ/ἀγαθὰ ἔργα, Titus 2:7,14; 3:1,8,14. HIGH RISK: sits inside a Hindu punya-merit and Islamic weighed-deeds/mizan cultural framework shared across Bengal. Every occurrence must be anchored to Titus 3:5’s explicit denial so works read as evidence, never cause, of salvation. Plainer alternative: ভালো কাজ.
Gospel
Approved rendering: সুসমাচার
Transliteration: susomachar
Doctrine: Gospel (contextual reference in Titus curriculum framing)
Rejected alternatives: খুশ খবর, ইঞ্জিল
Inherited from Romans package. Reserved for teaching-material framing; Titus itself uses κήρυγμα (‘proclamation’) rather than εὐαγγέλιον, but this term underlies the letter’s whole missionary logic (1:3).
Grace
Approved rendering: অনুগ্রহ
Transliteration: anugroho
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works / Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: কৃপা, পুণ্য, ভাগ্য
Inherited from Romans package. Anchors Titus 1:4; 2:11; 3:7,15. Never soteriological পুণ্য/ভাগ্য/কৃপা.
Heir
Approved rendering: উত্তরাধিকারী
Transliteration: uttorodhikari
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
New term. κληρονόμος, Titus 3:7. Must cross-reference the baseline’s adoption doctrine (দত্তকপুত্রতা): full, undiminished inheritance rights, not a provisional or partial share as traditional Bengali family hierarchy might assume for an adopted heir.
Holy Devout
Approved rendering: ভক্তিপরায়ণ
Transliteration: bhoktiporayon
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders / Godliness and Reverent Piety
New term. ὅσιος, Titus 1:8, an elder qualification distinct in nuance from ἅγιος (পবিত্র). Same bhakti-collision family as ‘godliness’.
Holy
Approved rendering: পবিত্র
Transliteration: pobitro
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works / Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: শুচি, নির্মল

Law
Approved rendering: ব্যবস্থা
Transliteration: bebostha
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies / Christ’s Redemptive Self-Giving
Rejected alternatives: ধর্ম, শরিয়ত, নিয়ম
Inherited from Romans package. Occurs Titus 3:9,13 and underlies ব্যবস্থাহীনতা (2:14). Never ধর্ম/শরিয়ত.
Lawlessness
Approved rendering: ব্যবস্থাহীনতা
Transliteration: bebosthahinota
Doctrine: Christ’s Redemptive Self-Giving
Rejected alternatives: অধর্ম
New term. ἀνομία, Titus 2:14. NEVER অধর্ম — reimports ধর্ম’s dual Hindu-dharma/religion sense. Built on TM ব্যবস্থা root.
Love For Mankind
Approved rendering: মানবপ্রেম
Transliteration: manob-prem
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
New term. φιλανθρωπία, Titus 3:4. HIGH RISK given prominent NGO-style Bengali Christian institutional presence; must be anchored to God’s redemptive initiative in context, never left to read as generic secular philanthropy.
Overseer
Approved rendering: অধ্যক্ষ
Transliteration: odhyokkho
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
New term. ἐπίσκοπος, used interchangeably with πρεσβύτερος for the same office at Titus 1:5-7. Teaching notes must clarify these are two titles for one office here, not a later developed hierarchical episcopal system.

Doctrine: Christ’s Redemptive Self-Giving / Unity of Jews and Gentiles
New term. λαὸς περιούσιος, Titus 2:14, echoing Exodus 19:5’s covenant language. Requires mandatory OT-background translator note since narrative literacy is low among both Hindu- and Muslim-background readers.
Renewal
Approved rendering: নবীকরণ
Transliteration: nabikoron
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
New term. ἀνακαίνωσις, Titus 3:5. Distinguish from cyclical cosmic-age renewal in Hindu cosmology (kalpas/yugas); one definitive, ongoing Spirit-work, not a recurring cycle.
Savior
Approved rendering: পরিত্রাতা
Transliteration: poritrata
Doctrine: Deity of Christ / Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: রক্ষাকর্তা, ত্রাণকর্তা
New term. σωτήρ, applied to God the Father (1:3; 2:10; 3:4) and Jesus Christ (1:4; 2:13; 3:6). Built on TM পরিত্রাণ root; never রক্ষাকর্তা/ত্রাণকর্তা alone, which severs the visible root link and risks a mere-honorific-prophet reading.
Seed Of David
Approved rendering: দায়ূদের বংশ
Transliteration: Dayuder bongsho
Doctrine: Reserved for curriculum framing
Inherited from Romans package. Not a direct Titus lexical item; reserved only if teaching material cross-references Christ’s Davidic descent.

Transliteration: shonghoto(bhabe)
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living / Qualifications for Elders
Rejected alternatives: ইন্দ্রিয়নিগ্রহ-জাতীয় শব্দ
New term. σώφρων/σωφρόνως, recurring cardinal virtue (1:8; 2:2,5,6,12). Must be distinguished from Hindu/Buddhist ascetic self-denial (indriya-nigraha) pursued as a liberation path; here it is a Spirit-given fruit of grace already received, not self-purification toward merit.
Servant Slave
Approved rendering: দাস / দাসত্ব করা
Transliteration: das / dasotto kora
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
New term. δοῦλος/δουλεύω, spanning three polarities: Paul’s honored self-designation (1:1, ঈশ্বরের দাস), household-slave social-legal status instructed to submit (2:9-10, দাসদের…অধীন হতে), and negative bondage to sin (3:3, দাসত্ব করে). Mandatory translator note wherever this root recurs distinguishing the three uses.
Sound Doctrine
Approved rendering: সুস্থ শিক্ষা
Transliteration: sustho shikkha
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Rejected alternatives: ভালো উপদেশ (generic ‘good advice’)
New term. ὑγιαίνουσα διδασκαλία, recurring at Titus 1:9,13; 2:1,8. Must render identically at every occurrence; must retain the sense of authoritative, health-giving apostolic teaching, never flattened to generic good advice.
Submit
Approved rendering: অধীন হওয়া
Transliteration: odhin howa
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
Rejected alternatives: বশীভূত হওয়া (secondary, usable)
New term. ὑποτάσσω/ὑποτάσσεσθαι, spanning wife-to-husband (2:5), slave-to-master (2:9), and citizen-to-ruler (3:1) submission. Mandatory translator note at EVERY occurrence distinguishing willing, dignity-preserving submission modeled on Christ from submission implying inherent inferiority of personhood.
Training
Approved rendering: শিক্ষা দিচ্ছে
Transliteration: shikkha dicche
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: সাধনা-নির্ভর শিক্ষা
New term. παιδεύουσα, Titus 2:12, the doctrine’s key verb. Fuller gloss গড়ে তুলছে available. Must not imply self-effort merit-training (sādhanā) or Islamic tarbiyah earning standing; training flows from grace already given, never toward it. Mandatory translator note at every occurrence.
Ungodliness
Approved rendering: অভক্তি
Transliteration: abhokti
Doctrine: Godliness and Reverent Piety
New term. ἀσέβεια, Titus 2:12, direct negation of ভক্তি/eusebeia. Same bhakti-collision family and translator-note requirement as ‘godliness’.
Medium Risk Terms

Blessed Hope
Approved rendering: ধন্য প্রত্যাশা
Transliteration: dhonyo protyasha
Doctrine: Hope of Eternal Life
Rejected alternatives: আশা (alone)
New term. μακαρία ἐλπίς, Titus 2:13. Prefer প্রত্যাশা (confident, promise-grounded expectation) over আশা, which reads as a mere wish with uncertain outcome.

Mercy
Approved rendering: করুণা
Transliteration: koruna
