Passage

Romans 13

• Glossary Term

  Justification

  CRITICAL: 'Rechtfertigungslehre' is the Lutheran material principle of the Reformation (iustificatio sola fide).

  ROM.13.11

• Glossary Term

  Righteousness

  CRITICAL: 'Gerechtigkeit Gottes' in Romans 1:17 is the exact phrase behind Luther's own reported breakthrough (Turmerlebnis) — realizing it names a righteousness God gives and credits, received passively by faith, not a righteousness God demands and that must be achieved.

  ROM.13.11

• Doctrine

  Salvation

  HIGH RISK, distinctly German: the natural doctrinal word 'Heil' is compromised by its Nazi-era co-optation ('Heil Hitler'), forcing a choice among 'Rettung', 'Erlösung', and cautious, context-dependent use of 'Heil' itself — a genuine German-specific translation and reviewer-sensitivity problem with no parallel in the other five languages in this batch.

  ROM.13.11

• Glossary Term

  Salvation

  HIGH RISK, distinctly German: three partially overlapping words exist (Heil, Erlösung, Rettung).
