Passage

Romans 9

• 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.9.4

• 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.9.4

• 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.9.4

• Glossary Term

  Called

  Context-sensitive: Romans 1:1 (called to apostleship), 1:7 (called to be saints), 8:28-30 (effectual calling).

  ROM.9.11-12

• Glossary Term

  Calling

  In ordinary Modern Czech, 'povolání' overwhelmingly means one's job or profession ('Jaké je vaše povolání?,' 'What is your occupation?').

  ROM.9.11-12

• Glossary Term

  Covenant

  'Smlouva' is the ordinary Czech word for any contract or agreement (a lease, an employment contract).

  ROM.9.5

• Glossary Term

  David

  Standard proper name.

  ROM.9.5

• Doctrine

  Davidic Covenant

  Requires explicit Old Testament background (2 Samuel 7); no analogous concept assumed in general Czech culture.

  ROM.9.5

• Doctrine

  Deity of Christ

  CRITICAL: co-equal divine nature; must not be softened to 'a great moral teacher,' a common secular-humanist framing of Jesus in non-religious Czech culture.

  ROM.9.5

• 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.9.11-12

• 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.9.11-12

• Glossary Term

  Election

  God's sovereign, gracious choice.

  ROM.9.11-12

• 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.9.4

• Glossary Term

  Glory

  God's radiant honor and presence.

  ROM.9.5

• Glossary Term

  God

  Standard and unambiguous, though 'proboha' ('for God's sake') functions as a common secular exclamation in everyday speech, similarly requiring register awareness in translated material.

  ROM.9.5

• Glossary Term

  Messiah

  CRITICAL: transliterated term requiring foundational explanation of the entire Old Testament messianic-expectation background, which cannot be assumed as prior knowledge for a general secular Czech reader.

  ROM.9.5

• Doctrine

  Messianic Promise

  CRITICAL: requires foundational explanation of the entire Old Testament messianic-expectation background, which cannot be assumed as prior knowledge.

  ROM.9.5

• Glossary Term

  Seed Of David

  Romans 1:3; conveys physical lineage and covenant fulfillment, though the Davidic covenant background itself needs foundational explanation.
