Biblical Theme Map — Philippians (German)

Theme	Philippians references	Romans/Galatians/Ephesians cross-reference	German rendering consistency note
Deity, kenosis, and exaltation of Christ	2:6-11	Romans 1:3-4; Ephesians 1:20-23	Gestalt Gottes, entäußerte sich, hoch erhöht all new to this package; Jesus Christus ist der Herr must match Romans 10:9.
Justification by faith, not works of the law	3:9	Romans 3:21-28; Galatians 2:16, 21	Gerechtigkeit, Glaube, Gesetz consistent across all three curricula.
Working out salvation / good works as fruit	2:12-13	Ephesians 2:8-10	Directly parallels the Ephesians 2:9/2:10 ground-vs-fruit discipline; must not read as Werkgerechtigkeit.
Christian humility and unity	2:1-5	Ephesians 4:1-6	Complements the Ephesians sevenfold-unity material with a more personal, congregational-scale humility exhortation.
Contentment and Christ’s sufficiency	4:10-13	(no direct Romans/Galatians/Ephesians parallel)	New theme for this pipeline; requires its own decontextualization caution.
Heavenly citizenship	3:20-21	Ephesians 2:19 (fellow citizens with the saints)	Bürgerrecht/Staatsbürgerschaft language should stay consistent if Ephesians 2:19 is revisited.

Coverage confirmation

Six major themes map across all four chapters of Philippians against the Romans, Galatians, and Ephesians baselines. No theme contradicts any prior curriculum; each extends it with Philippians-specific emphasis (kenosis, contentment) not present with the same density elsewhere.
