Passage
Romans 8
-
Glossary Term
Abba
Aramaic term of intimacy preserved in Romans 8:15 in both Bible kralická and the modern Czech Ecumenical Translation; retain the transliteration paired with 'Otče.'
ROM.8.15, ROM.8.23
-
Glossary Term
Adoption
'Adopce' is the standard modern secular word for legal adoption and supports the legal-status parallel well; the specific theological content (full inheritance rights as God's child) still needs explicit unpacking since it is unfamiliar territory for most readers.
ROM.8.15, ROM.8.23
-
Doctrine
Adoption into God's Family
The legal-adoption parallel ('adopce') is well understood in modern secular Czech; the specific theological content (full inheritance rights) still needs explicit unpacking.
ROM.8.15, ROM.8.23
-
Doctrine
Assurance of Salvation
Assurance grounded in God's unchanging character and Christ's finished work; for a reader with no prior framework for salvation at all, this doctrine's force depends entirely on Salvation and Justification having already been taught concretely, not merely asserted.
ROM.8.1, ROM.8.28-39
-
Glossary Term
Called
Context-sensitive: Romans 1:1 (called to apostleship), 1:7 (called to be saints), 8:28-30 (effectual calling).
ROM.8.28-30
-
Glossary Term
Calling
In ordinary Modern Czech, 'povolání' overwhelmingly means one's job or profession ('Jaké je vaše povolání?,' 'What is your occupation?').
ROM.8.28-30
-
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.8.1
-
Doctrine
Divine Calling
'Povolání' overwhelmingly means one's job or profession in ordinary Czech; God's sovereign call must be actively distinguished from this dominant secular-vocational sense.
ROM.8.28-30
-
Doctrine
Effectual Calling
God's sovereign call that ensures the salvation of the called; must be distinguished from the secular-vocational sense of 'povolání' and the competitive-selection sense of 'vyvolení.'
ROM.8.28-30
-
Glossary Term
Election
God's sovereign, gracious choice.
ROM.8.28-30
-
Glossary Term
Father
God as personal Father; standard, though the specific theological weight of divine fatherhood (as opposed to ordinary human fatherhood) needs to be actively taught given generally low background religious literacy.
ROM.8.15, ROM.8.23
-
Doctrine
Incarnation
Low competing secular meaning but also low pre-existing recognition; must be taught as new content, not merely named.
ROM.8.3
-
Glossary Term
Incarnation
Established theological term with very low everyday secular use, meaning it carries almost no competing secular meaning but also almost no pre-existing recognition; treat as a term to be taught, not merely translated.
ROM.8.3
-
Glossary Term
Intercession
Prayer on behalf of others.
ROM.8.26-27
-
Glossary Term
Peace
Relational peace with God through justification.
ROM.8.6
-
Doctrine
Peace with God
Relational, covenantal peace through justification; distinguish from the everyday sense of 'pokoj' as mere quiet or absence of disturbance.
ROM.8.6
-
Doctrine
Prayer and Intercession
Unlike most other Language Packages in this pipeline, there is no strong live cultural competitor (no dominant saint-veneration or Marian-devotion practice in secular Czech society); the task is teaching what intercession means at all, not correcting a rival framework.
ROM.8.26-27
-
Doctrine
Providence
God's personal, purposive care; avoid the fatalistic, impersonal folk-secular framing of 'osud' (fate) or 'štěstí' (luck), the more common contemporary Czech way of describing unexplained life events.
ROM.8.28-30
-
Glossary Term
Providence
God's personal, purposive governance; avoid the fatalistic, impersonal folk-secular framing of 'osud' (fate) or 'štěstí' (luck/fortune), the more common ways contemporary secular Czechs describe unexplained life events.
ROM.8.28-30
-
Glossary Term
Resurrection
Established Kralice-tradition term, still used at Easter (Velikonoce), the Czech Republic's most widely observed but now largely secularized holiday, popularly associated more with folk customs (pomlázka) than the resurrection of Christ.
ROM.8.11
-
Doctrine
Resurrection of Christ
CRITICAL: bodily, historical, once-for-all resurrection.
ROM.8.11
-
Glossary Term
Son Of God
CRITICAL: full phrase required.
ROM.8.3, ROM.8.29
-
Doctrine
Sonship of Christ
CRITICAL: eternal, unique Sonship, not the adoptive 'děti Boží' sense Romans 8 applies to believers; basic Trinitarian categories need brief accompanying explanation.
