Cross-Reference Analysis
Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis — 2 Corinthians (Czech Language Package)
Curriculum: 2 Corinthians 1–13
Core passage: 2 Corinthians 5:11–21
Purpose: Catalogue every Old Testament quotation and allusion, every messianic reference, and every typological pattern in the full letter, and map parallels to the Romans curriculum already localized for Czech. Citation format follows the normalizable convention Book Chapter:Verse (e.g. “2 Corinthians 5:21,” “Genesis 15:6”), matching the citation style already used in 07_semantic_analysis.md and 08_core_glossary.md. Phase 2 output must convert these to Czech Ecumenical Translation (ČEP) book-name conventions per the baseline 12_ai_translation_requirements.md (e.g. “2. Korintským 5,21”); the mapping table for this is provided in Part F below.
Governing principle (inherited from baseline): for a secular Czech readership, an Old Testament allusion is not merely a stylistic flourish that a biblically literate reader will recognize — it is a load-bearing argument whose logic collapses if the OT background is not actively supplied. Every entry below therefore states not just the connection but why the connection is doctrinally necessary for the passage’s argument to work.
Part A — Direct Old Testament Quotations in 2 Corinthians
| # | 2 Corinthians passage | Quoted/cited OT passage | Wording/theme quoted | Doctrine link | Translation sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 Corinthians 4:6 | Genesis 1:3 | ”Let light shine out of darkness” — the creation command echoed as the pattern for God’s illuminating work in the gospel | New Creation in Christ | Must preserve the creation-command register (a sovereign divine fiat, not a poetic metaphor for personal enlightenment); anchors 5:17’s “new creation” to Genesis 1 itself, not merely to a vague sense of renewal. |
| 2 | 2 Corinthians 4:13 | Psalm 116:10 (LXX Psalm 115:1) | “I believed, and so I spoke” | Faith (baseline inherited) | Reuse baseline víra exactly; the Psalm’s confident public confession under affliction models Paul’s own speech under suffering — must not be flattened to generic optimism. |
| 3 | 2 Corinthians 6:2 | Isaiah 49:8 | ”In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you” | Salvation (baseline spasení, Critical) | The Isaiah context is Israel’s Second-Exodus restoration; Paul reapplies “day of salvation” to the present gospel moment. Because spasení already carries the baseline’s Critical risk of registering as an archaic literary word, this citation is a prime opportunity to supply the “from what/to what/by whom” narrative content the baseline mandates — the OT background itself should be briefly supplied, not assumed. |
| 4 | 2 Corinthians 6:16 | Leviticus 26:11–12; Ezekiel 37:27 | ”I will make my dwelling among them… I will be their God, and they shall be my people” | Church as God’s People (baseline inherited, Medium) | Composite/paraphrased citation; the OT covenant-formula (“I will be their God, they will be my people”) is entirely unfamiliar territory for a secular reader and must be introduced as covenant-relationship language, not generic religious sentiment. |
| 5 | 2 Corinthians 6:17 | Isaiah 52:11 (also echoing Ezekiel 20:34, 41) | “Come out from their midst, and be separate… touch no unclean thing” | Separation unto God’s Service (baseline inherited, Medium) | Original context is Israel’s exodus from Babylonian exile; must not be read as a call to social withdrawal from all non-believers generally, but a specific warning against idolatrous compromise (6:14–16 context) — a nuance easily lost without the OT exile background. |
| 6 | 2 Corinthians 6:18 | 2 Samuel 7:14 (also Isaiah 43:6) | “I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters” | Adoption into God’s Family (baseline inherited, Medium); Father (baseline Otec, Critical) | The Davidic-covenant sonship promise (2 Samuel 7) is generalized here to all believers; this is a direct extension of the same covenant background the baseline already flags for seed_of_David and davidic_covenant — reuse those doctrine names when cross-referencing. |
| 7 | 2 Corinthians 8:15 | Exodus 16:18 | ”Whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack” (the manna narrative) | Generosity and Grace in Giving | The manna background (God’s daily, equitable provision in the wilderness) must be briefly supplied for the equality/ἰσότης argument (8:13–15) to avoid being misread through the modern Czech socio-political “rovnost” framework flagged in 08_core_glossary.md; the point is God-given sufficiency for mutual sharing, not enforced economic equality. |
| 8 | 2 Corinthians 9:9 | Psalm 112:9 | ”He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever” | Generosity and Grace in Giving; Righteousness (baseline inherited, Critical) | Note the term spravedlnost (righteousness) appears here describing a generous person’s character, a distinct but related sense from the forensic sense in 5:21 — flag this dual usage for translators so “spravedlnost” is not assumed to always carry the forensic weight in every occurrence. |
| 9 | 2 Corinthians 10:17 | Jeremiah 9:24 | ”Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord” | Genuine versus False Apostleship; Sincerity and Apostolic Authority | Same OT citation is quoted independently by Paul at 1 Corinthians 1:31 — render identically in any future 1 Corinthians curriculum for this Language Package; reuses baseline Pán (Critical) for “the Lord.” |
| 10 | 2 Corinthians 13:1 | Deuteronomy 19:15 | ”Every charge must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses” | Sincerity and Apostolic Authority | Also quoted at Matthew 18:16 and 1 Timothy 5:19; a legal-procedural OT text applied to Paul’s forthcoming visit and the Corinthians’ need for corroborated accountability — low doctrinal risk, but the OT judicial background may be worth one clarifying phrase for a secular reader unfamiliar with the “two or three witnesses” principle. |
Part B — Old Testament Allusions and Background (No Direct Quotation)
| # | 2 Corinthians passage | Allusion/background | Theme | Doctrine link | Translation sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 Corinthians 1:3 | Exodus 34:6; Psalm 86:15; Psalm 103:13 | God’s compassionate, merciful character | Father (baseline Otec, Critical) | “Father of mercies” (Otec veškerého milosrdenství) draws on a whole OT vocabulary of divine compassion unfamiliar to most readers; the allusion should be named, not left implicit. |
| 2 | 2 Corinthians 1:20 | Numbers 23:19; Isaiah 65:16 (“God of Amen”) | God’s unwavering faithfulness to his promises | Fulfillment of Prophecy (baseline inherited, Medium) | “In him it is always Yes” presupposes a whole OT narrative of promise (Abrahamic, Davidic, prophetic) fulfilled in Christ; without that background the statement reads as an abstract platitude about positivity rather than a specific claim about covenant history. |
| 3 | 2 Corinthians 2:14–16 | Leviticus 1:9,13,17 (“a pleasing aroma to the LORD”); Ezekiel 20:41 | Sacrificial aroma imagery | Sincerity and Apostolic Authority | Without the Levitical sacrificial background, “aroma of Christ” reads as a vague, pleasant metaphor rather than the specific image of an acceptable offering to God — see 08_core_glossary.md note on vůně Kristova. |
| 4 | 2 Corinthians 3:3 | Exodus 31:18; 34:1 (tablets of stone); Jeremiah 31:33; Ezekiel 11:19; 36:26 (heart of flesh) | Old vs. new covenant inscription | The New Covenant versus the Old (headline) | This allusion is the direct conceptual seed of the letter/Spirit contrast in 3:6; Jeremiah 31 and Ezekiel 36 must be actively supplied as background, since “new covenant” (baseline smlouva, High) otherwise defaults to a commercial-contract reading with no old/new covenant-history frame at all. |
| 5 | 2 Corinthians 3:7–11, 13, 16, 18 | Exodus 34:29–35 (Moses’ shining, veiled face); Numbers 12:8 | Moses/glory/veil typology | The New Covenant versus the Old (headline) | The entire argument of 3:7–18 is unintelligible without the Exodus 34 narrative; this is the single densest OT-dependency passage in the letter and should be flagged for mandatory background supply in any teaching material, not merely a translation note. |
| 6 | 2 Corinthians 4:4 | Isaiah 6:9–10 (blinded eyes/hardened minds — also quoted directly at Romans 11:8 and John 12:40) | Spiritual blindness | Deity of Christ (baseline inherited, Critical, contrastively) | The “god of this age… has blinded the minds of unbelievers” echoes the Isaiah 6 blinding motif already active in Romans 11:8 (a document in this same Language Package’s sibling curriculum); render consistently with any future Isaiah 6 rendering used there. |
| 7 | 2 Corinthians 5:1 | Exodus 25–27 (tabernacle construction imagery, implicit) | Tent vs. permanent dwelling | Suffering and Comfort in Ministry; Resurrection (baseline inherited) | The tabernacle background is optional but strengthens the temporary/permanent contrast; not essential to the verse’s sense, so flagged Low-Medium. |
| 8 | 2 Corinthians 5:17 | Isaiah 43:18–19; 65:17; 66:22 | Cosmic new-creation promise | New Creation in Christ (headline) | These Isaiah texts promise a future, decisive re-creation of the world, not merely personal moral improvement; without this background a reader will default to “a new/better version of me,” precisely the flattened reading 08_core_glossary.md already flags as the central risk for nové stvoření. |
| 9 | 2 Corinthians 5:19, 21 | Psalm 32:1–2; Genesis 15:6 (via direct link to Romans 4:3) | Non-imputation of sin / imputed righteousness | Reconciliation with God; Imputed Righteousness (baseline přičtená spravedlnost, Critical) | This is the single most important cross-curriculum link in the whole letter — see Part E below for the mandatory rendering-consistency rule. |
| 10 | 2 Corinthians 5:21 | Isaiah 53:4–6, 9, 12 (the sinless Servant bearing others’ iniquity); Leviticus 16 (Day of Atonement) | Suffering Servant / substitutionary sin-bearing | Reconciliation with God (headline) | Isaiah 53 is the OT text that makes “made him to be sin” theologically coherent rather than shocking-sounding; a secular reader with zero Isaiah 53 background is at high risk of misreading this as Christ becoming morally corrupt. Human theologian review required; the Isaiah 53 connection should be actively supplied in teaching material, not assumed as recognizable. |
| 11 | 2 Corinthians 6:14 | Deuteronomy 22:10; Leviticus 19:19 (do not yoke together mismatched animals) | Unsuitable partnership | Sincerity and Apostolic Authority (separation) | Agricultural yoke-law background is wholly unfamiliar to an urban secular Czech readership; without it, “unequally yoked” is opaque rather than vivid. |
| 12 | 2 Corinthians 8:9 | Isaiah 53 (implicit, via self-giving); Philippians 2:6–8 (parallel NT text, not this curriculum but worth noting) | Christ’s voluntary self-impoverishment | Incarnation (baseline inherited, High); Generosity and Grace in Giving | Connects directly to the baseline’s Incarnation doctrine; Christ’s “riches” and “poverty” language draws on both Isaiah’s servant theme and the incarnational logic already flagged as High risk in Romans. |
| 13 | 2 Corinthians 9:7 | Deuteronomy 15:10; Proverbs 22:8a (LXX) | Generous giving pleasing to God | Generosity and Grace in Giving | Deuteronomy 15’s Sabbatical-year generosity law underlies the “cheerful giver” ideal; low risk, background is supportive rather than essential to comprehension. |
| 14 | 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 | Proverbs 21:22 (wisdom overthrowing a fortified city, general background) | Spiritual warfare imagery | Genuine versus False Apostleship | General wisdom-literature background; low risk, the military metaphor is largely self-explanatory. |
| 15 | 2 Corinthians 11:2 | Exodus 20:5; 34:14 (the LORD as a jealous God); Hosea 2:19–20; Isaiah 62:5 (covenant bride imagery) | Divine covenantal jealousy; bride of God/Christ | Church as God’s People (baseline inherited, bridal extension); Genuine versus False Apostleship | The positive, covenantal sense of divine “jealousy” (žárlivost/horlivost) depends entirely on this OT background; without it, “God’s jealousy” reads through the negative modern-Czech romantic-jealousy connotation flagged in 08_core_glossary.md. |
| 16 | 2 Corinthians 11:3 | Genesis 3:1–13 (the serpent’s deception of Eve) | The pattern of deception | Genuine versus False Apostleship | Direct narrative allusion; Genesis 3 background is foundational but cannot be assumed as known — briefly naming “the serpent in the garden” episode is warranted for a general secular readership. |
| 17 | 2 Corinthians 12:7 | Numbers 33:55; Ezekiel 28:24; Joshua 23:13 (“thorns/briers in your sides”) | A persistent, God-permitted affliction among God’s people | Power in Weakness (headline) | These OT texts use “thorn” imagery for adversarial nations left among Israel as a test/goad, not primarily physical ailment; this nuances (without overturning) the popular reading of Paul’s “thorn” as necessarily a physical illness, and should be noted rather than resolved definitively. |
Part C — Messianic References
| # | Passage | Messianic content | Connection to Old Testament promise | Translation sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 Corinthians 1:19–20 | Christ as the “Yes” to all of God’s promises | Fulfillment of the entire OT promise-trajectory (Abrahamic, Davidic, prophetic) in one person | Reuses baseline Messiah/Mesiáš conceptual category (Critical) even though the transliterated title itself does not appear here; the doctrinal content (all divine promises converge in Christ) is exactly what the baseline’s Messianic Promise doctrine entry requires foundational OT teaching to support. |
| 2 | 2 Corinthians 3:14 | The veil is “taken away only in Christ” | Christ as the one who fulfills and thereby ends the old covenant’s veiled, provisional character (fulfilling Exodus 34 typologically) | Directly parallels the baseline’s Fulfillment of Prophecy and Incarnation doctrines; must not imply Christ merely improves on Moses but that he fulfills and supersedes the old covenant’s mediatorial role entirely. |
| 3 | 2 Corinthians 4:4 | Christ as “the image of God” | Echoes and surpasses Genesis 1:26–27 (humanity in God’s image); Christ is the perfect image, not merely a representative image-bearer | Reuses baseline Deity of Christ and Sonship of Christ doctrines (both Critical); the distinction between derivative human image-bearing and Christ’s unique divine image-bearing must be made explicit. |
| 4 | 2 Corinthians 5:21 | Christ as the sinless one who bears sin so others may become righteous | Isaiah 53’s Suffering Servant, fulfilled uniquely and exclusively in Jesus | This is the doctrinal and messianic climax of the core passage; requires mandatory human theologian review per 08_core_glossary.md. |
| 5 | 2 Corinthians 8:9 | Christ’s voluntary self-impoverishment (“though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor”) | Connects to the incarnational logic already flagged Critical/High in the baseline (Incarnation; Seed of David; Son of God) — the pattern of humiliation-then-exaltation echoed across Isaiah 53 and the Davidic covenant’s paradox of a humble, suffering king | Must not be read as a merely moral example of charitable self-sacrifice; the theological ground is Christ’s specific incarnational descent, tying directly to baseline’s vtělení entry. |
Part D — Typological Patterns
| # | Type (OT pattern) | Antitype (fulfillment in 2 Corinthians) | Doctrine link | Translation sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Moses’ veiled, fading glory (Exodus 34) | The unveiled, permanent, increasing glory of the new covenant ministry (2 Corinthians 3:7–18) | The New Covenant versus the Old (headline) | Highest-density typological passage in the letter; must be taught as an argument from lesser (temporary, veiled, fading) to greater (permanent, unveiled, increasing), not merely as two unrelated religious images. |
| 2 | Manna in the wilderness, gathered with divine equity (Exodus 16) | The Corinthians’ financial sharing with the Jerusalem church, following the same principle of God-given sufficiency (2 Corinthians 8:13–15) | Generosity and Grace in Giving | Must not collapse into a modern redistributive-equality argument (see baseline collision risk on “rovnost”); the type is about God’s provision enabling voluntary sharing, not an entitlement structure. |
| 3 | The tabernacle/temple as God’s dwelling among his people (Exodus 25–40; Leviticus 26; Ezekiel 37) | The church as “the temple of the living God” (2 Corinthians 6:16) | Church as God’s People (baseline inherited) | “Chrám” risks dilution through secular figurative usage (“temple of culture”); the OT temple background (God’s holy, exclusive dwelling) must be actively supplied to prevent the term from being read as merely architectural or metaphorical-in-a-weak-sense. |
| 4 | The Day of Atonement sin-bearing ritual (Leviticus 16) and the sinless Suffering Servant (Isaiah 53) | Christ “made sin” for us so we might become God’s righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21) | Reconciliation with God (headline) | The most theologically dense typological convergence in the letter — sacrificial substitution (Leviticus) and prophetic servanthood (Isaiah) together explain the double-imputation logic; mandatory human theologian review. |
| 5 | Israel’s exodus/second-exodus restoration and the “day of salvation” motif (Isaiah 49:8) | The present gospel era as the decisive, urgent day of God’s saving initiative (2 Corinthians 6:2) | Salvation (baseline spasení, Critical) | Should be taught alongside the baseline’s mandate that “spasení” be given full narrative content; the OT second-exodus background supplies exactly this narrative (from exile/bondage, to restoration, by God’s initiative). |
| 6 | Adam as the covenantal head of the old, fallen humanity (Genesis 1–3, developed in Romans 5:12–21) | The “new creation” and the reoriented life “in Christ” who is the head of a new humanity (2 Corinthians 5:14–17) | New Creation in Christ (headline); Christian Identity in Christ (baseline inherited) | This typological pairing is not explicit in 2 Corinthians itself but is the necessary background supplied by Romans 5 (already localized in this Language Package); teaching material should make the Adam/Christ contrast explicit rather than leaving “new creation” as a free-floating image. |
| 7 | Covenant marriage/bridal imagery for God and his people (Hosea 2; Isaiah 54:5; 62:5) | The church as a “pure virgin” betrothed to one husband, Christ (2 Corinthians 11:2) | Church as God’s People; Genuine versus False Apostleship | Bridal-corporate identity is not an assumed cultural category for secular Czech readers and needs explicit unpacking distinct from any individual-purity reading a modern reader might otherwise import. |
Part E — Parallels to the Romans Curriculum (Same Language Package) and Rendering-Consistency Rules
The following pairs share either a direct lexical link (same Greek root, same Czech baseline rendering) or a tightly-coupled doctrinal argument. Because both curricula share one Czech Language Package, inconsistent rendering across them would damage the “same Czech term for the same theological term across all documents” rule already mandated in the baseline’s 12_ai_translation_requirements.md.
| # | Romans passage | 2 Corinthians passage | Shared term/root | Doctrine | MANDATORY rendering-consistency rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Romans 4:3 (quoting Genesis 15:6: “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”) | 2 Corinthians 5:19 (“not counting their trespasses”); 5:21 (“become the righteousness of God”) | λογίζομαι word family → přičítat/přičtení | Imputed Righteousness (baseline přičtená spravedlnost, Critical) | Use the přičítat/přičtení verb family in every occurrence in both curricula. Never substitute a generic “forgive” (odpustit) or “make good” (napravit) verb for the negative sense in 5:19, and never render 5:21 with a moral-achievement verb (e.g., “stali se spravedlivými” implying self-attained virtue) — must read as a credited legal status, per baseline note. |
| 2 | Romans 2:29; 7:6 (letter vs. Spirit contrast) | 2 Corinthians 3:6 (letter kills, the Spirit gives life) | γράμμα/πνεῦμα → litera/Duch | The New Covenant versus the Old | Render γράμμα consistently as litera (leveraging the existing Czech idiom “litera zákona”) in both curricula; render πνεῦμα per baseline’s Duch svatý conventions, noting that this specific antithesis functions abstractly (“Spirit” as covenant-principle) rather than always foregrounding the third Person explicitly — flag for native speaker review if ambiguous. |
| 3 | Romans 5:1 (peace with God through justification) | 2 Corinthians 5:18–20 (reconciled to God through Christ) | δικαιόω / καταλλάσσω — two distinct but tightly related concepts | Reconciliation with God; Peace with God (baseline inherited, Medium) | Do NOT merge pokoj (peace) and smíření (reconciliation) into a single Czech term; they render distinct Greek words describing two aspects of one salvation reality (right legal standing → resulting relational peace → the reconciling act itself). Teaching material should explicitly cross-reference Romans 5:1 when reconciliation is taught, and vice versa. |
| 4 | Romans 8:1 (“no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus”) | 2 Corinthians 5:10 (“judgment seat of Christ”) | κρίμα / βῆμα — related but distinct forensic images | Assurance of Salvation (baseline inherited, High); Judgment Seat of Christ (new, High) | Mandatory translator note wherever 5:10 occurs: soudná stolice Kristova is an evaluation of believers’ works, NOT a re-litigation of salvation status already secured per Romans 8:1. The two passages must be taught together, not left to appear contradictory to a reader building both concepts from scratch. |
| 5 | Romans 6:1–11 (dead to sin, alive to God, “in Christ”) | 2 Corinthians 5:14–17 (“one has died for all… if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation”) | ἐν Χριστῷ → v Kristu | Christian Identity in Christ (baseline inherited, High); New Creation in Christ (headline) | Render v Kristu identically in both curricula; 2 Corinthians 5:17 should be taught as the direct outworking of the union-with-Christ doctrine already established in Romans 6, not as an unrelated new concept. |
| 6 | Romans 8:15–23 (Spirit of adoption; firstfruits of the Spirit; groaning) | 2 Corinthians 1:22; 5:2,4–5 (Spirit as guarantee/ἀρραβών; groaning in the present tent) | πνεῦμα (adoption/guarantee function) | Adoption into God’s Family (baseline inherited, Medium) | Duch svatý rendering fixed per baseline; závdavek (guarantee/pledge, new High-risk term for this curriculum) should be cross-referenced explicitly with Romans 8:23’s “firstfruits” language so the reader connects both as the same present-Spirit/future-inheritance logic. |
| 7 | Romans 9–11 (Israel’s partial hardening; the olive tree; God’s ongoing faithfulness to Israel) | 2 Corinthians 3:14–16 (Israel’s minds hardened; a veil remains over the reading of Moses, “to this day”) | Israel’s hardening/veiling motif | Unity of Jews and Gentiles (baseline inherited, Medium) | Reuse baseline Izrael exactly; retain the baseline’s caution that Romans 9–11’s discussion (and its 2 Corinthians 3 echo) concerns Israel as a people in salvation history, not contemporary Middle East politics — flag for native speaker review in both curricula. |
| 8 | Romans 10:9 (“if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord… you will be saved”) | 2 Corinthians 4:5 (“we proclaim… Jesus Christ as Lord”) | κύριος → Pán | Lordship of Christ (baseline Pán, Critical) | Render identically; attach the same explanatory note required by the baseline for Romans 10:9 (capitalization alone is an insufficient signal for exclusive divine lordship) wherever 2 Corinthians 4:5 or any other κύριος-as-title-for-Christ occurrence appears. |
| 9 | Romans 12:2 (“be transformed by the renewal of your mind,” μεταμορφοῦσθε) | 2 Corinthians 3:18 (“we all… are being transformed,” μεταμορφούμεθα) | μεταμορφόω → proměňovat se | Sanctification (baseline posvěcení, High) | Use the identical verb family (proměňovat se / proměňujeme se) in both curricula. In BOTH documents, attach the same translator’s note flagging the unwanted literary echo of Franz Kafka’s Proměna (“The Metamorphosis”) in Czech culture, so the positive, Christ-conforming sense is consistently safeguarded rather than addressed in only one curriculum. |
| 10 | Romans 8:28–39 (“more than conquerors”; nothing can separate us from the love of God) | 2 Corinthians 4:8–9 (afflicted but not crushed); 11:23–27 (catalogue of sufferings); 12:9–10 (power in weakness) | Endurance-under-affliction motif | Assurance of Salvation (baseline inherited, High); Suffering and Comfort in Ministry; Power in Weakness | Teaching material should explicitly link Paul’s own suffering catalogue in 2 Corinthians to the doctrinal assurance already established in Romans 8, so the doctrine is not merely asserted abstractly but shown enacted in Paul’s actual ministry — consistent with the baseline’s general concern that doctrines need concrete, narrative grounding for this readership. |
| 11 | Romans 1:3–4 (seed of David according to the flesh; declared Son of God by the resurrection) | 2 Corinthians 8:9 (though he was rich, he became poor for your sake) | Incarnation doctrine | Incarnation (baseline vtělení, High) | Both passages describe the same incarnational reality from different angles (royal lineage/declared sonship vs. voluntary self-impoverishment); cross-reference explicitly in teaching notes rather than treating 2 Corinthians 8:9 as a new, unrelated christological claim. |
| 12 | Romans 3:21–26 (the righteousness of God revealed, received by faith, apart from the law) | 2 Corinthians 5:21 (“that in him we might become the righteousness of God”) | δικαιοσύνη θεοῦ → spravedlnost Boží | Righteousness (baseline spravedlnost, Critical); Reconciliation with God (headline) | Render spravedlnost Boží identically in both passages; 2 Corinthians 5:21 should be explicitly taught as the same “credited, not achieved” righteousness Romans 3–4 establishes, closing the loop opened by Rule #1 above (the λογίζομαι link). |

No chapter lacks OT dependency; several (3, 5, 6) carry doctrinally load-bearing OT background that must be actively supplied for the argument to be intelligible to a secular Czech readership, consistent with this Language Package’s governing risk pattern.
This document extends 07_semantic_analysis.md and 08_core_glossary.md and must be read alongside them and the baseline Romans Language Package artifacts. All Critical/High risk terms referenced here inherit their risk tier and required renderings from those documents; this document adds the OT/typological/cross-curriculum layer of analysis specific to Phase 1 Step 3.
