Romans 6

• Doctrine

  Christian Identity in Christ

  Identity located in union with Christ, not national, cultural, or nominal-Catholic heritage identity.

  ROM.6.1-11

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Catholic sacramental grace (mediated through the sacraments) and Reformed sola gratia are the same French word with different doctrinal freight; must always reinforce 'apart from merit'.

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  Same word used by Catholic and Protestant traditions, but the theology differs: Catholic catechesis ties grâce to sacramental mediation ('état de grâce' via confession); Reformed/Segond tradition insists on grâce apart from any ecclesial mediation.

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Holy

  Set apart for God and morally pure; 'pur' alone loses the set-apart sense.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Holy Spirit

  Segond tradition uses 'Saint-Esprit'; ecumenical/modern translations (TOB, NBS) prefer 'Esprit Saint'.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Resurrection

  No competing reincarnation folk-concept in French as there is in Hindi; the real risk is secular naturalism flattening 'résurrection' into a metaphor ('renaissance', 'rebond') rather than a historical, bodily event.

  ROM.6.4-5

• Doctrine

  Resurrection of Christ

  Bodily, historical, once-for-all event.

  ROM.6.4-5

• Doctrine

  Sanctification

  The Spirit's ongoing work of making believers holy; low risk of ritual-purification confusion in French, unlike Hindi's shuddhi concern.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Sanctification

  The Spirit's ongoing work of making believers holy; 'purification' risks a ritual-cleansing reading.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Doctrine

  Separation unto God's Service

  Must not collapse into monastic withdrawal from the world; biblical separation is devotion to God while remaining engaged in ordinary life.

  ROM.6.22
