Passage

Romans 13

• Glossary Term

  Justification

  A descriptive compound ('being made/declared righteous') is required, since no single crystallized Fulfulde theological term for the forensic declaration exists in the available translation literature.

  ROM.13.11

• Glossary Term

  Righteousness

  peewal ('straightness/uprightness') is a plausible general-purpose rendering, but its exact currency for the specific theological sense of right standing before God should be reconfirmed with native speakers in the target dialect; it risks being heard as good moral character rather than a status received by faith.

  ROM.13.11

• Doctrine

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: Islamic soteriology, held with unusual scholarly depth among Fulani communities, has no atonement framework, understanding paradise-entry as Allah's mercy weighed against deeds; Romans' basis for salvation in Christ's finished work (10:9-10) must be stated explicitly.

• Glossary Term

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: kisal (from a root meaning 'to be safe/rescued') is the best-attested general term.
