11 Doctrine Analysis — Ephesians (German)

Full reference table for the 14 doctrines in assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json.

#	Doctrine	Passages	Risk	German-specific rationale	Review routing
1	Election and Predestination	1:3-14	Critical	Lutheran/Reformed confessional divergence over double predestination; flag every occurrence for appropriate framing.	Human theologian
2	Sealing of the Holy Spirit	1:13-14	High	Ownership/authentication and commercial-guarantee metaphors kept concrete.	Human theologian
3	Christ’s Supremacy and Headship	1:20-23	High	Haupt introduced here, reused in chapters 4-5; consistency required.	Human theologian
4	Salvation by Grace Through Faith	2:1-10	Critical	Core passage (2:8-10); the works-as-ground vs. works-as-fruit distinction must never read as self-contradictory.	Human theologian
5	Unity of Jew and Gentile / One New Humanity	2:11-22	Critical	Mandatory Juden/Heiden sensitivity, plus the positive Berlin Wall cultural bridge specific to this passage.	Human theologian
6	The Mystery of Christ	3:1-13	High	Geheimnis qualified against the lighter “secret” connotation.	Human theologian
7	Unity of the Spirit	4:1-16	Critical	All seven “one”s (4:4-6) retained unqualified.	Human theologian
8	Putting Off the Old Self, Putting On the New	4:17-32	High	Concrete clothing metaphor; consistent with 2:15’s one-new-humanity language.	Human theologian
9	Walking in Love and Light	5:1-14	Medium	Standard ethical exhortation.	Native speaker review
10	Filled with the Spirit	5:15-21	Medium	Ongoing filling; drunkenness contrast kept explicit.	Native speaker review
11	Household Code: Marriage as Christ and the Church	5:22-33	Critical	Highest-sensitivity passage in the package: mutual submission (5:21) must frame 5:22-24 given Germany’s constitutional marital-equality commitment.	Human theologian
12	Household Code: Children and Parents	6:1-4	Medium	Standard family-ethics exhortation.	Native speaker review
13	Household Code: Slaves and Masters	6:5-9	High	Explicit historical-distancing framing required.	Human theologian
14	The Armor of God	6:10-20	Critical	Concrete Roman-legionary imagery; “Helm des Heils” requires reviewer sign-off per the Romans baseline’s Heil rule.	Human theologian

Risk summary

6 Critical, 5 High, 3 Medium, 0 Low. 11 require mandatory human theologian review; 3 require native speaker review; 0 are automated-only. This is a comparably high-risk profile to the Galatians package (6 Critical there too), reflecting Ephesians’ dense ecclesiology and its uniquely sensitive household-code material for the contemporary German legal and cultural context.
