10 Biblical Theme Map — Colossians (German)

Theme	Colossians references	Romans/Galatians/Ephesians/Philippians cross-reference	German rendering consistency note
Christ’s supremacy, deity, and cosmic Lordship	1:15-20; 2:9	Philippians 2:6-11; Ephesians 1:20-23	Third Christ Hymn-type passage in this pipeline’s German curriculum; Haupt, Herr, Gottheit vocabulary must stay consistent across all three.
The church as one body, Christ as head	1:18, 24; 2:19; 3:15	Ephesians 1:22-23; 4:4, 15-16	Haupt and Leib reused exactly.
Reconciliation and the cross	1:19-23; 2:13-15	Romans 3:24-25; Ephesians 2:13-16	Versöhnung consistent with any future direct Romans/Ephesians reconciliation-vocabulary cross-check.
Freedom from law/regulation as basis of standing	2:11-23	Galatians 3:1-5:6	Extends the law/grace antithesis into ascetic-regulation territory distinct from, but related to, Galatians’ Torah-observance target.
Unity dissolving all distinctions	3:11	Galatians 3:28; Ephesians 4:4-6	Third unqualified-list unity formula in this pipeline; identical discipline applies.
Household ethics	3:18-4:1	Ephesians 5:22-6:9	Near-identical passage; reuses Ephesians vocabulary and sensitivity requirements in full.
