09 Cross-Reference Analysis — Ephesians (German)

#	Ephesians ref	OT/NT ref	Relationship	German rendering note	Risk
1	Ephesians 1:22	Psalm 8:6	All things under his feet	”Alles hat er unter seine Füße getan” — echoes the Romans baseline’s power_of_god doctrine, extended here to Christ’s cosmic headship.	Medium
2	Ephesians 2:8-9	Romans 3:20-28; Galatians 2:16	Salvation by grace through faith, not works	Shared-citation-style consistency rule (not a direct OT quotation, but a direct doctrinal parallel): Gnade, Glaube, and Werke must render with the same established German terms across Romans, Galatians, and Ephesians.	Critical
3	Ephesians 4:8	Psalm 68:18	He ascended on high, leading captivity captive	Direct quotation; “Er ist aufgefahren in die Höhe und hat das Gefängnis gefangengeführt” — keep the triumphal-procession imagery concrete.	Medium
4	Ephesians 4:25	Zechariah 8:16	Speak truth with your neighbor	”Redet die Wahrheit, ein jeglicher mit seinem Nächsten” — reuses established Nächster (neighbor) vocabulary consistent with Romans 13:9’s love-your-neighbor citation.	Low
5	Ephesians 4:26	Psalm 4:5	Be angry and do not sin	”Zürnet, und sündiget nicht” — Luther’s own rendering; keep the permission-with-limit structure (anger itself not forbidden, sin is).	Medium
6	Ephesians 5:14	Isaiah 60:1 (echoed)	Awake, sleeper, and Christ will shine on you	Likely an early Christian hymn fragment echoing Isaiah’s light imagery, not a direct citation formula; render as a distinct poetic unit.	Medium
7	Ephesians 5:31	Genesis 2:24	A man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife	Direct quotation; “Deshalb wird ein Mensch Vater und Mutter verlassen und seiner Frau anhangen” — must render identically to any future Genesis-curriculum treatment of this verse.	High
8	Ephesians 6:2-3	Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16	Honor your father and mother	Direct quotation of the fifth commandment; keep standard Zehn-Gebote (Ten Commandments) numbering and phrasing consistent with German catechetical tradition (Luther’s Small Catechism).	Medium

Coverage confirmation

Eight cross-references span chapters 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6. Row 2 establishes a direct doctrinal-consistency requirement linking Ephesians to both the Romans and Galatians baselines already promoted for German.
