Passage

Romans 12

• Doctrine

  Christian Identity in Christ

  Identity located in union with Christ; unlike Poland's Polak-katolik risk, most Czech readers will not bring an inherited religious-national identity to override this teaching, but they also will not bring any prior framework for religious identity at all, requiring the concept to be built from the ground up.

  ROM.12.5

• Glossary Term

  Church

  'Církev' (the institution/community) must be kept distinct from 'kostel' (the building).

  ROM.12.4-5

• Doctrine

  Church as God's People

  The new covenant community gathered around Christ, distinct from both the institutional sense of 'církev' and the architectural/touristic association many secular readers bring to 'kostel' (church building).

  ROM.12.4-5

• Doctrine

  Separation unto God's Service

  Low risk of syncretistic conflation; the primary risk is the concept being wholly unfamiliar rather than misapplied.

  ROM.12.1-2

• Doctrine

  Spiritual Gifts

  Spirit-given enablements for the church; low syncretism risk, but the underlying concept of the Holy Spirit distributing gifts needs foundational explanation.

  ROM.12.6-8

• Glossary Term

  Spiritual Gifts

  Spirit-given enablements for the church.

  ROM.12.6-8
