Core Glossary

Core Glossary — Jude (English → Gujarati)

This glossary consolidates every load-bearing term identified in 07_semantic_analysis.md, organized by curriculum doctrine. Terms marked [Reused] carry forward the exact baseline Romans translation_memory.json rendering and risk tier — these entries must be used unchanged in Phase 2. Terms marked [New] are Jude-specific additions requiring new translation-memory entries; risk tiers and forbidden alternatives follow the same collision-detection method the baseline documents for Gujarat’s dominant Vaishnav-bhakti and Jain frames of reference.

Doctrine 1: Contending for the Faith Once Delivered

English Term	Greek / Translit.	Gujarati Rendering	Status	Risk	Verses	Rejected Alternatives & Reason
faith (as body of doctrine)	πίστις / pistis	વિશ્વાસ	[Reused]	High	1:3, 1:20	Baseline rejects શ્રદ્ધા, ભક્તિ (devotional reverence without a specific trust-object). Note: in Jude 1:3, 1:20 the sense shifts to the objective “the faith” (a body of content), not merely subjective trust — flag for context-sensitive gloss.
contend (for the faith)	ἐπαγωνίζεσθαι / epagōnizesthai	ઝઝૂમવું	[New]	High	1:3	Rejected: passive “હોલ્ડ કરવું” (hold to) — too weak for the agonistic Greek image; rejected: merit-earning “લડીને કમાવું” framing — this is defensive contention for a truth already received, not self-effort earning salvation.
once for all	ἅπαξ / hapax	એક જ વાર	[New]	High	1:3, 1:5	Rejected: any phrasing implying repeatability. Must resist Gujarat’s dominant Hindu yuga-cycle and Jain beginningless/endless-cycle cosmologies, both of which assume repeating revelation.
delivered / entrusted	παραδίδωμι / paradidomi	સોંપાયેલો	[New]	Medium	1:3	Rejected: “આપવામાં આવેલો” (merely “given”) — too weak; the sense is formal transmission of a fixed deposit.
saints	ἅγιοι / hagioi	પવિત્ર જનો	[Reused]	High	1:3	Baseline rejects સંતો, મુનિ (ascetic elite in Gujarati religious usage).
woe (judgment pronouncement)	οὐαί / ouai	અફસોસ / હાય	[New]	High	1:11	Must retain formal prophetic judgment-oracle weight, not read as casual regret.

Doctrine 2: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers

English Term	Greek / Translit.	Gujarati Rendering	Status	Risk	Verses	Rejected Alternatives & Reason
ungodly / ungodliness	ἀσεβής, ἀσέβεια / asebēs, asebeia	પરમેશ્વરવિહોણા	[New]	Critical	1:4, 1:15 (×4), 1:18	REJECTED: અધર્મી — extends baseline’s established prohibition on ધર્મ-root terms (Jain dharmāstikāya is a technical cosmological substance, not a moral category) to this adjective. Compound built on established પરમેશ્વર to keep focus on irreverence toward the personal God.
judgment / condemnation	κρίμα, κρίσις / krima, krisis	ન્યાય	[New]	High	1:4, 1:6, 1:9, 1:14–15	Must convey the verdict of a personal moral Judge, not impersonal karma-phal (automatic fruit of karma). Parallels baseline’s providence/election risk notes.
marked out beforehand	προγράφω / prographō	પૂર્વનિર્ધારિત	[New]	High	1:4	REJECTED: framing through નિયતિ/નસીબ (fate/destiny) — must be a personal God’s righteous foreknowledge, not impersonal fate (same distinction baseline draws for “election”).
grace	χάρις / charis	કૃપા	[Reused]	Critical	1:4	Baseline CRITICAL prohibition: never નિર્જરા, પુણ્ય, કર્મફળ.
Master (absolute owner)	δεσπότης / despotēs	માલિક	[New]	High	1:4	Distinct from κύριος (પ્રભુ); reinforces total, ongoing, active sovereignty — never a departed/non-interacting figure (cf. baseline’s siddha/Tirthankara contrast for Lord).
Lord	κύριος / kyrios	પ્રભુ	[Reused]	Critical	1:4, 1:9, 1:17, 1:21, 1:25	Baseline CRITICAL: must convey living, presently reigning sovereign — never સ્વામી, તીર્થંકર.
only / sole	μόνος / monos	એકમાત્ર	[New]	High	1:4, 1:25	Confronts Gujarat’s devotional culture of choosing among many personal deities/avatars (iṣṭa-devatā); must render with unambiguous exclusivity.
lordship / authority	κυριότης / kyriotēs	પ્રભુત્વ	[New]	High	1:8	Directly tied to the Critical κύριος entry; rejecting κυριότης is rejecting the Lordship of Christ principle itself.
blaspheme / slander	βλασφημέω / blasphēmeō	નિંદા કરવી	[New]	High	1:8, 1:9 (noun)	Contrast v.9’s restraint (even Michael did not blaspheme the devil) with the false teachers’ presumption — the moral weight must be preserved.
grumbler / complainer	γογγυστής, μεμψίμοιρος / gongystēs, mempsimoiros	બડબડનારા / ફરિયાદ કરનારા	[New]	Low	1:16	Deliberate echo of Israel’s wilderness grumbling (v.5); no significant collision risk.
lust / desire	ἐπιθυμία / epithymia	દુષ્ટ ઇચ્છા	[New]	High	1:16, 1:18	REJECTED: વાસના — technical Hindu/Jain term for latent karmic impressions carried across lifetimes (impersonal, metaphysical residue). Biblical ἐπιθυμία is a present, morally culpable craving of the will against God, not a rebirth-driving residue.
flatter / show favoritism	θαυμάζοντες πρόσωπα	ખુશામત કરવી	[New]	Medium	1:16	Manipulative flattery for gain; moderate risk of being read as ordinary politeness — context must clarify manipulative intent.
mocker / scoffer	ἐμπαίκτης / empaiktēs	મશ્કરી કરનારા	[New]	Medium	1:18	Predicted end-time character trait; moderate eschatological framing risk (see “last time” below).
cause divisions	ἀποδιορίζω / apodiorizō	ભાગલા પાડનારા	[New]	Medium	1:19	Straightforward; moderate risk only via community/caste-division associations already flagged for church_as_gods_people in the baseline.
worldly / soulish (lacking the Spirit)	ψυχικός / psychikos	દુન્યવી	[New]	High	1:19	REJECTED: સાંસારિક — derives from સંસાર (samsara), the core Hindu/Jain technical term for the cycle of rebirth; would import a foreign cosmology into a verse merely distinguishing unregenerate human nature from Spirit-indwelt life.

Doctrine 3: Old Testament Warnings as Types (Israel, Angels, Sodom)

English Term	Greek / Translit.	Gujarati Rendering	Status	Risk	Verses	Rejected Alternatives & Reason
save (historical, of Israel from Egypt)	σῴζω / sōzō	ઉદ્ધાર કરવો	[New — root reused from σωτηρία]	Critical	1:5, 1:23	Same CRITICAL prohibition as baseline’s salvation entry: never મોક્ષ, મુક્તિ, કેવલજ્ઞાન, સિદ્ધત્વ.
believe	πιστεύω / pisteuō	વિશ્વાસ કરવો	[New — root reused from πίστις]	High	1:5	Verb form of established વિશ્વાસ; Israel’s failure to trust despite deliverance.
destroy / perish	ἀπόλλυμι / apollymi	નાશ કરવો / નાશ પામવો	[New]	High	1:5, 1:11	Must retain a personal divine Judge as agent, not an impersonal karmic consequence.
angels	ἄγγελος / angelos	દેવદૂત	[New]	Medium	1:6	Risk: both Hindu and Jain cosmologies include a “deva” class of heavenly beings still bound within the karma-samsara rebirth cycle — biblical angels are created, morally accountable spirit-beings who chose rebellion against a personal God, not a rebirth-realm rank.
position / domain	ἀρχή / archē	પોતાનું અધિકારપદ	[New]	Medium	1:6	Contextual sense (assigned rank), not “beginning” (ἀρχή’s other common meaning).
eternal bonds/chains	δεσμοῖς ἀϊδίοις / desmois aidiois	સદાકાળનાં બંધનો	[New]	Medium	1:6	Present, ongoing confinement awaiting final judgment.
kept / reserved (τηρέω keyword-chain)	τηρέω / tēreō	જાળવી રાખવું	[New]	High	1:1, 1:6, 1:13, 1:21	Central Jude keyword, both positive (God keeps believers) and negative (God keeps the rebellious for judgment) senses. Must not be confused with Jain saṃvara (self-guarding of the soul through ascetic vows) — the keeping here is entirely God’s sovereign action. Must render consistently across all four occurrences.
eternal fire	πῦρ αἰώνιον / pyr aiōnion	અનંત અગ્નિ	[New]	Medium	1:7	Contrast with Vedic ritual/purifying fire (agni/yajna) and Hindu/Jain cremation-fire purification associations — biblical fire here is punitive/final, not purificatory.
sexual immorality	ἐκπορνεύω / ekporneuō	વ્યભિચાર કરવો	[New]	Medium	1:7	Standard moral-transgression term; low ambiguity beyond general sensitivity.
Cain / Balaam / Korah	Κάϊν, Βαλαάμ, Κόρε	કાઈન, બલામ, કોરહ	[New — proper names]	Low	1:11	Established transliteration convention.
error / deception	πλάνη / planē	ભ્રમણા	[New]	Medium	1:11	Distinguish from Hindu māyā (impersonal cosmic illusion veiling ultimate reality) — this is a specific, culpable moral departure from revealed truth, not a metaphysical veil.
wage / reward (corrupt motive)	μισθός / misthos	બદલો / મજૂરી	[New]	Medium	1:11	Watch for confusion with legitimate spiritual-gifts/blessing language (baseline spiritual_gifts entry); here names corrupt profit-motive.
rebellion	ἀντιλογία / antilogia	બળવો	[New]	Medium	1:11	Organized opposition to legitimate God-given authority (Korah against Moses).
Sodom and Gomorrah	Σόδομα καὶ Γόμορρα	સદોમ અને ગમોરા	[New — proper names]	Low	1:7	Established Gujarati OT form.
Enoch	Ἑνώχ / Henōch	હનોખ	[New — proper name]	Low	1:14	Established Gujarati OT form.
prophesy	προφητεύω / prophēteuō	ભવિષ્યવાણી કરવી	[New — root reused]	Low	1:14	Verb form of baseline’s established ભવિષ્યવાણી; no new risk.
convict / expose	ἐλέγχω / elegchō	દોષિત સાબિત કરવા	[New]	Medium	1:15	God’s final exposure of every hidden ungodly deed.
sinner	ἁμαρτωλός / hamartōlos	પાપી	[New — root reused from ἁμαρτία]	Medium	1:15	Derived from baseline’s established પાપ; distinguish from impersonal bad-karma framing per baseline’s sin entry.
Michael the archangel / devil	Μιχαήλ ὁ ἀρχάγγελος / διάβολος	મિખાયેલ મુખ્ય દેવદૂત / શેતાન	[New — proper names]	Low / Medium	1:9	શેતાન risk: established cross-religious loanword; must be taught as the one specific fallen angelic adversary, not generic folk ભૂત-પ્રેત.
dispute (v.9) vs. waver/doubt (v.22)	διακρίνομαι / diakrinomai	વિવાદ કરવો (v.9) / શંકામાં પડેલા (v.22)	[New — same root, two senses]	Medium	1:9, 1:22	Polysemous root; must NOT use the same Gujarati word for both senses — outward legal dispute (v.9) vs. inward wavering (v.22).

Doctrine 4: Mercy and Rescue of the Wavering

English Term	Greek / Translit.	Gujarati Rendering	Status	Risk	Verses	Rejected Alternatives & Reason
mercy	ἔλεος, ἐλεέω / eleos, eleeō	દયા	[New]	High	1:2, 1:21, 1:22, 1:23	Risk: Jain ahimsa-based universal compassion (karuna) is a self-generated ethical virtue extended for one’s own soul’s spiritual advancement. Biblical mercy is a directed, active rescue-response modeled on God’s own initiating mercy toward sinners, not a generalized self-cultivated virtue.
wavering / doubting	διακρινόμενος / diakrinomenos	શંકામાં પડેલા	[New]	Medium	1:22	Distinguish from v.9’s different sense of the same Greek root (see above); this is inward wavering under false-teacher influence, not lost apostasy — the specific target of rescue-mercy.
save (rescue the endangered)	σῴζω / sōzō	ઉદ્ધાર કરવો	[Reused root, see Doctrine 3]	Critical	1:23	See above.
snatch (out of fire)	ἁρπάζω / harpazō	અગ્નિમાંથી ખેંચી લેવું	[New]	Medium	1:23	Vivid urgency image; echoes v.7’s eternal fire — active, risk-taking rescue.
with fear (caution in rescuing)	ἐν φόβῳ / en phobō	બીક સાથે / સાવધાનીથી	[New]	Low	1:23	Rescuers must proceed carefully to avoid contamination by the same sin.
stained garment	ἐσπιλωμένον χιτῶνα	મેલું વસ્ત્ર	[New]	Medium	1:23	Purity-contamination-by-association image; caution even in the act of rescue.

Doctrine 5: Kept by God and Presented Blameless

English Term	Greek / Translit.	Gujarati Rendering	Status	Risk	Verses	Rejected Alternatives & Reason
kept (τηρέω keyword-chain)	τηρέω / tēreō	જાળવી રાખવું	[New]	High	1:1, 1:6, 1:13, 1:21	See Doctrine 3 above — full keyword-chain rationale.
guard / keep from stumbling	φυλάσσω / phylassō	રક્ષણ કરવું	[New]	High	1:24	Distinct Greek word and distinct Gujarati verb from τηρέω, so that “human responsibility to keep oneself” (v.21) and “God’s sovereign power to guard” (v.24) remain linked yet distinguishable. Must not be read as Jain saṃvara self-guarding through ascetic vows.
without stumbling	ἄπταιστος / aptaistos	લપસ્યા વિના	[New]	Medium	1:24	Guaranteed outcome of God’s guarding, not the believer’s unaided moral achievement.
present (before God’s glory)	ἵστημι / histēmi	રજૂ કરવો	[New]	Medium	1:24	Forensic/ceremonial presentation imagery; parallels baseline’s justification/imputed_righteousness forensic-declaration pattern.
blameless	ἄμωμος / amōmos	નિષ્કલંક	[New]	Critical	1:24	Direct structural parallel to the baseline’s grace/nirjara and salvation/kevala-jñāna collisions: Jain doctrine describes the soul’s ultimate “unstained” state (kevala-jñāna/siddhatva — already forbidden renderings for “salvation” in baseline) reached through the soul’s OWN multi-lifetime ascetic effort (nirjara/tapa). ἄμωμος describes the same “unblemished” END-STATE image but reached by the OPPOSITE MECHANISM — God’s own guarding and presenting the believer, not self-purification. Every occurrence requires an explicit distinguishing note.
exultation / great joy	ἀγαλλίασις / agalliasis	ઉલ્લાસ	[New]	Low	1:24	Celebratory tone of final presentation; no significant collision risk.

Doctrine 6: Doxology and God’s Preserving Power

English Term	Greek / Translit.	Gujarati Rendering	Status	Risk	Verses	Rejected Alternatives & Reason
able (God who is able)	δύναμαι / dynamai	સમર્થ	[New — root consistent with baseline]	Medium	1:24	Consistent with baseline’s power_of_god entry root (પરમેશ્વરનું સામર્થ્ય); never શક્તિ (Shakti-goddess devotional collision documented in baseline).
only God	μόνος θεός / monos theos	એકમાત્ર પરમેશ્વર	[Reused root — μόνος; θεός Reused]	High	1:25	Reinforces strict monotheism, echoing μόνον δεσπότην of v.4.
Savior	σωτήρ / sōtēr	ઉદ્ધારક	[New — root reused from σωτηρία]	Critical	1:25	Specific collision: Jain “Tīrthaṅkara” (lit. “ford-maker”) is a close functional parallel — shows the way across saṃsāra but requires each soul to cross by its own effort. σωτήρ is theologically opposite in mechanism: the Savior himself accomplishes the deliverance, not merely teaches/shows a self-walked path. Requires explicit distinguishing note wherever taught.
glory	δόξα / doxa	મહિમા	[Reused]	High	1:25 (also 1:8, angelic sense)	Baseline: avoid તેજ, પ્રકાશ (light-only imagery merging with Hindu/Jain divine-radiance associations). Note: v.8 uses δόξα in a distinct plural “glorious ones” (angelic) sense requiring a disambiguating gloss (મહિમાવાન સ્વર્ગદૂતો) — do not conflate with God’s own glory.
majesty / greatness	μεγαλωσύνη / megalōsynē	મહાનતા	[New]	Low	1:25	Distinct from મહિમા (glory); low collision risk.
might / dominion	κράτος / kratos	પરાક્રમ	[New]	Medium	1:25	Distinct from σαμαρθ (ability) and ἐξουσία (legitimate right); denotes active sovereign strength.
authority	ἐξουσία / exousia	અધિકાર	[New]	Medium	1:25	Legitimate right to rule; consistent with baseline’s kingdom_of_god sovereignty-not-territory framing.
before all ages / forever	πρὸ παντὸς τοῦ αἰῶνος … εἰς πάντας τοὺς αἰῶνας	સદાકાળ પહેલાં … સદાસર્વકાળ સુધી	[New]	Medium	1:25	Rejected: સનાતન (avoid — bound to contemporary Hindu “Sanatan Dharma” self-designation). Must read as a single linear timeline (past–present–future), not a repeating cosmic cycle (parallels baseline’s fulfillment_of_prophecy cyclical-time risk).
Amen	ἀμήν / amēn	આમીન	[Reused — established transliteration]	Low	1:25	Per baseline AI requirements doc’s established transliteration list.

Cross-Reference Note: The τηρέω / φυλάσσω Keyword-Chain

Jude’s five “keeping” occurrences (τηρέω: 1:1, 1:6, 1:13, 1:21; φυλάσσω: 1:24) form the letter’s central structural thread and its central doctrine — Kept by God and Presented Blameless. Phase 2 translators must render:

τηρέω consistently as જાળવી રાખવું in all four occurrences (positive sense in 1:1, 1:21; judicial/negative sense in 1:6, 1:13), preserving the wordplay that the same divine keeping-power both preserves believers and confines the rebellious for judgment.
φυλάσσω distinctly as રક્ષણ કરવું in 1:24, its single occurrence, to keep it linked to but distinguishable from the τηρέω chain.

Any deviation from this pairing in Phase 2 output must be flagged for human theologian review per the escalation rules already established in the baseline 12_ai_translation_requirements.md.

Christ

Approved rendering: ખ્રિસ્ત
Transliteration: Khrist
Doctrine: Lordship and Mastery of Christ

Transliteration: Parmeśvar
Doctrine: Doxology and God’s Preserving Power
Rejected alternatives: ઈશ્વર, ભગવાન

Father

Approved rendering: પિતા
Transliteration: Pitā
Doctrine: Divine Calling and Sainthood
Rejected alternatives: સૃષ્ટિકર્તા
Original: πατήρ

Holy Spirit

Approved rendering: પવિત્ર આત્મા
Transliteration: Pavitra Ātmā
Doctrine: Spirit-Indwelling versus Worldly/Natural Life
Rejected alternatives: પરમાત્મા, બ્રહ્મ
Original: πνεῦμα ἅγιον
Category: God

Inherited from Romans package, unchanged. Jude 1:19-20 contrasts false teachers lacking the Spirit with believers who pray ‘in the Holy Spirit.‘

Lord

Approved rendering: પ્રભુ
Transliteration: prabhu
Doctrine: Lordship and Mastery of Christ
Rejected alternatives: સ્વામી, તીર્થંકર
Original: κύριος
Category: Christology

Inherited from Romans package, unchanged. Occurs Jude 1:4, 1:9, 1:17, 1:21, 1:25, frequently paired with માલિક (δεσπότης) for double emphasis on total, ongoing, active sovereignty.

Grace

Approved rendering: કૃપા
Transliteration: kṛpā
Doctrine: Grace Perverted into License
Rejected alternatives: મહેરબાની, કર્મફળ, પુણ્ય, નિર્જરા
Original: χάρις
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Romans package, unchanged. Jude 1:4 shows this very grace being twisted into license for sensuality; rendering must keep this legible as inversion of an unearned gift, never a twisting of self-earned merit.

Salvation

Approved rendering: ઉદ્ધાર
Transliteration: uddhār
Doctrine: Israel’s Unbelief as Warning
Rejected alternatives: મોક્ષ, મુક્તિ, કેવલજ્ઞાન, સિદ્ધત્વ

Inherited from Romans package, unchanged. Jude 1:3 (σωτηρίας, ‘our common salvation’); root basis for the verb save_historical (σῴζω, 1:5, 1:23) and the agent-noun savior (σωτήρ, 1:25). CRITICAL prohibition applies to every derived form.

Ungodly

Approved rendering: પરમેશ્વરવિહોણા
Transliteration: parmeśvar-vihoṇā
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Rejected alternatives: અધર્મી
Original: ἀσεβής / ἀσέβεια
Category: Judgment

New term, occurring 6 times (Jude 1:4, 1:15 x4, 1:18) — Jude’s central repeated accusation. REJECTED: અધર્મી, which extends the baseline’s prohibition on ધર્મ-root terms (Jain dharmāstikāya is a technical cosmological substance, not a moral category) to this adjective. Compound built on established પરમેશ્વર keeps focus on irreverence toward the personal God. LOCK this rendering for all 6 occurrences.

Save Historical

Approved rendering: ઉદ્ધાર કરવો
Transliteration: uddhār karavo
Doctrine: Israel’s Unbelief as Warning
Rejected alternatives: મોક્ષ, મુક્તિ, કેવલજ્ઞાન, સિદ્ધત્વ
Original: σῴζω
Category: Salvation

New term, verb form of the baseline’s ઉદ્ધાર root (σῴζω). Jude 1:5 (Israel from Egypt), 1:23 (urgent rescue of the endangered). Same CRITICAL prohibition as baseline’s salvation entry applies to every occurrence.

Blameless

Approved rendering: નિષ્કલંક
Transliteration: niṣkalaṅk
Doctrine: Kept by God and Presented Blameless
Rejected alternatives: કેવલજ્ઞાન-adjacent purity language, સિદ્ધત્વ-adjacent purity language
Original: ἄμωμος
Category: Preservation

New term. Jude 1:24 (ἄμωμος). CRITICAL: shares surface ‘unblemished end-state’ imagery with the Jain soul’s self-purified kevala-jñāna/siddhatva state (already forbidden as salvation-renderings in the baseline), but reached by the theologically opposite mechanism (God’s guarding/presenting power, not multi-lifetime self-effort/tapa/nirjara). Mandatory distinguishing teaching note required at every occurrence.

Savior

Approved rendering: ઉદ્ધારક
Transliteration: uddhārak
Doctrine: Doxology and God’s Preserving Power
Rejected alternatives: તીર્થંકર-adjacent ‘ford-maker/way-shower’ framing
Original: σωτήρ
Category: Salvation

New term, agent-noun derived from the Critical ઉદ્ધાર root (σωτήρ). Jude 1:25. CRITICAL: the Jain title Tīrthaṅkara (‘ford-maker’) is a close functional near-miss — shows the way across saṃsāra, but requires each soul to cross unaided. σωτήρ is theologically opposite in mechanism: the Savior himself accomplishes the deliverance. Mandatory distinguishing note required.

High Risk Terms

Faith

Approved rendering: વિશ્વાસ
Transliteration: viśvāsa
Doctrine: Contending for the Faith Once Delivered
Rejected alternatives: શ્રદ્ધા, ભક્તિ
Original: πίστις
Category: Faith

Inherited from Romans package, unchanged word. In Jude 1:3 and 1:20, πίστις shifts to the OBJECTIVE sense (the fixed apostolic deposit, ‘the faith’), not merely the baseline’s subjective trust sense. Every objective-sense occurrence requires a disambiguating modifier (e.g., ‘તે વિશ્વાસ જે…સોંપાયેલો’).

Holy

Approved rendering: પવિત્ર
Transliteration: pavitra
Doctrine: Divine Calling and Sainthood
Rejected alternatives: શુદ્ધ

Inherited from Romans package, unchanged. Occurs in Jude 1:3 (holy ones), 1:14 (holy myriads/angels), 1:20 (most holy faith, ἁγιωτάτῃ).

Saints

Approved rendering: પવિત્ર જનો
Transliteration: pavitra jano
Doctrine: Divine Calling and Sainthood
Rejected alternatives: સંતો, મુનિ
Original: ἅγιοι
Category: Church

Inherited from Romans package, unchanged. Jude 1:3: ‘the faith once for all entrusted to the saints.’ Never સંતો/મુનિ, both ascetic-elite categories in Gujarati religious usage.

Called

Approved rendering: તેડાયેલા
Transliteration: tedāyelā
Doctrine: Divine Calling and Sainthood
Rejected alternatives: આમંત્રિત
Original: κλητός
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Romans package, unchanged. Jude 1:1 describes believers as ‘kept for Jesus Christ, called ones’ — God’s initiating, sovereign summons, distinct from Gujarat’s aspirant-initiated guru-diksha culture.

Glory

Approved rendering: મહિમા
Transliteration: mahimā
Doctrine: Doxology and God’s Preserving Power
Rejected alternatives: તેજ, પ્રકાશ
Original: δόξα
Category: God

Inherited from Romans package, unchanged, for the singular divine sense (Jude 1:25, and the believer’s presentation ‘before his glory’ 1:24). NOTE: Jude 1:8 uses the plural δόξαι in a distinct ‘glorious ones’ (angelic) sense — see glorious_ones_angelic; the two senses must never be conflated.

Sin

Approved rendering: પાપ
Transliteration: pāp
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Rejected alternatives: અધર્મ

Inherited from Romans package, unchanged. Root basis for the derived noun sinner (ἁμαρτωλός, Jude 1:15). Moral transgression against a personal God, never impersonal karmic residue.

Power Of God

Approved rendering: પરમેશ્વરનું સામર્થ્ય
Transliteration: Parmeśvarnũ Sāmarthya
Doctrine: Doxology and God’s Preserving Power
Rejected alternatives: શક્તિ

Inherited from Romans package, unchanged root. Basis for the doxology’s able (સમર્થ) and might/dominion (પરાક્રમ) vocabulary in Jude 1:24-25. Never શક્તિ, per the baseline’s Shakti/mother-goddess devotional collision.

Love

Approved rendering: પ્રેમ
Transliteration: prem
Doctrine: Love of God and Believers
Original: ἀγάπη
Category: Faith

New term for this curriculum. Occurs Jude 1:1 (loved by God the Father), 1:2 (greeting-triad), 1:12 (love feasts), 1:21 (keep yourselves in the love of God). Gujarat’s Vaishnav bhakti tradition’s dominant Radha-Krishna prem-bhakti romantic/erotic devotional idiom is the collision risk (not a rejected alternative WORD, since પ્રેમ itself is the only natural Gujarati term) — every occurrence must be anchored by context (God’s initiating love, brotherly love, communal love-feasts) to prevent the romantic-devotional frame from displacing the covenantal sense.

Mercy

Approved rendering: દયા
Transliteration: dayā
Doctrine: Mercy and Rescue of the Wavering
Rejected alternatives: કરુણા
Original: ἔλεος / ἐλεέω
Category: Salvation

New term. Occurs Jude 1:2 (greeting), 1:21 (awaiting Christ’s mercy), 1:22-23 (twice, commanding mercy toward wavering believers). કરુણા is Jain ahimsa-based self-generated virtue cultivated for one’s own soul’s advancement; biblical mercy is a directed, active rescue-response modeled on God’s own initiating mercy toward sinners.

Contend

Approved rendering: ઝઝૂમવું
Transliteration: jhajhūmvũ
Doctrine: Contending for the Faith Once Delivered
Rejected alternatives: હોલ્ડ કરવું (passive ‘hold to,’ too weak for the agonistic Greek image), લડીને કમાવું (merit-earning framing that would collide with grace)
Original: ἐπαγωνίζεσθαι
Category: Faith

New term. Jude 1:3, the letter’s central imperative (ἐπαγωνίζεσθαι). Always pair with the object ‘વિશ્વાસને માટે’ (for the faith) so the verb is anchored to doctrinal defense, not generic struggle.

Once For All

Approved rendering: એક જ વાર
Transliteration: ek j vār
Doctrine: Contending for the Faith Once Delivered
Rejected alternatives: any phrasing implying repeatability
Original: ἅπαξ
Category: Faith

New term. Jude 1:3 (‘the faith once for all delivered’) and 1:5 (Israel’s one-time rescue from Egypt). Must resist Gujarat’s dominant Hindu yuga-cycle and Jain beginningless/endless cosmic-cycle cosmologies, both of which assume repeating revelation.

Woe

Approved rendering: અફસોસ / હાય
Transliteration: afsos / hāy
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Rejected alternatives: casual expressions of pity or regret used alone, without pairing with ન્યાય vocabulary
Original: οὐαί
Category: Judgment

New term. Jude 1:11, opening the Cain/Balaam/Korah indictment. Must retain the weight of a formal prophetic judgment-oracle, as used by OT prophets and Jesus.

Judgment

Approved rendering: ન્યાય
Transliteration: nyāya
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Rejected alternatives: કર્મ-ફળ (impersonal, self-executing fruit of karma with no judging person)
Original: κρίμα / κρίσις
Category: Judgment

New term. Occurs Jude 1:4, 1:6, 1:9, 1:14-15. Must convey the verdict of a personal moral Judge.

Marked Out Beforehand

Approved rendering: પૂર્વનિર્ધારિત
Transliteration: pūrva-nirdhārit
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Rejected alternatives: નિયતિ, નસીબ
Original: προγράφω
Category: Judgment

New term. Jude 1:4: the false teachers’ condemnation was not a surprise to God — a personal God’s righteous foreknowledge, never impersonal fate.

Master

Approved rendering: માલિક
Transliteration: mālik
Doctrine: Lordship and Mastery of Christ
Rejected alternatives: સ્વામી (already rejected in baseline for ‘Lord’ due to guru/ascetic-teacher resonance)
Original: δεσπότης
Category: Christology

New term. Jude 1:4 pairs δεσπότην (માલિક) with κύριον (પ્રભુ) to double-underline Christ’s absolute, undivided authority. Register mismatch (માલિક’s everyday property/employer sense vs. પ્રભુ’s exalted liturgical register) flagged for mandatory human theologian review of the pairing as a unit.

Only Sole

Approved rendering: એકમાત્ર
Transliteration: ekamātra
Doctrine: Lordship and Mastery of Christ
Rejected alternatives: any softening toward ‘supreme among many’ devotional framing
Original: μόνος
Category: God

New term. Modifies ‘Master’ (Jude 1:4) and ‘God’ (Jude 1:25). Must always sit directly adjacent to its noun (એકમાત્ર માલિક, એકમાત્ર પરમેશ્વર) with no intervening clause, confronting Gujarat’s iṣṭa-devatā devotional pattern with unambiguous exclusivity.

Lordship

Approved rendering: પ્રભુત્વ
Transliteration: prabhutva
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Original: κυριότης
Category: Christology

New term. Jude 1:8: false teachers ‘reject lordship’ (κυριότητα). Directly tied to the Critical પ્રભુ entry; rejecting κυριότης is rejecting the Lordship-of-Christ principle itself.

Blaspheme

Approved rendering: નિંદા કરવી
Transliteration: nindā karavī
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Original: βλασφημέω / βλασφημία
Category: Judgment

New term. Jude 1:8 (false teachers blaspheme glorious ones) contrasted with 1:9 (even Michael did not presume a blasphemous judgment against the devil) — moral weight and contrast must both be preserved.

Lust Desire

Approved rendering: દુષ્ટ ઇચ્છા
Transliteration: duṣṭ icchā
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Rejected alternatives: વાસના
Original: ἐπιθυμία
Category: Sin

New term. Occurs Jude 1:16, 1:18. વાસના is a technical Hindu Yoga/Jain term for latent karmic impressions carried across lifetimes; biblical ἐπιθυμία is a present, morally culpable craving of the will against God.

Worldly Soulish

Approved rendering: દુન્યવી
Transliteration: dunyavī
Doctrine: Spirit-Indwelling versus Worldly/Natural Life
Rejected alternatives: સાંસારિક
Original: ψυχικός
Category: Sanctification

New term. Jude 1:19 (ψυχικός). REJECTED: સાંસારિક, derived from સંસાર (samsara), the core Hindu/Jain rebirth-cycle term; would import a foreign cosmology into a verse distinguishing unregenerate human nature from Spirit-indwelt life.

Believe

Approved rendering: વિશ્વાસ કરવો
Transliteration: viśvās karavo
Doctrine: Israel’s Unbelief as Warning
Original: πιστεύω
Category: Faith

New term, verb form of the baseline’s established વિશ્વાસ (πιστεύω). Jude 1:5: Israel’s failure to trust God despite deliverance.

Destroy Perish

Approved rendering: નાશ કરવો / નાશ પામવો
Transliteration: nāś karavo / nāś pāmvo
Doctrine: Israel’s Unbelief as Warning
Rejected alternatives: impersonal karmic-consequence framing
Original: ἀπόλλυμι
Category: Judgment

New term. Occurs Jude 1:5 (unbelieving Israel), 1:11 (Korah’s rebellion). Must retain a personal divine Judge as agent of destruction/perishing.

Kept Reserved

Approved rendering: જાળવી રાખવું
Transliteration: jāḷavī rākhavũ
Doctrine: Kept by God and Presented Blameless
Rejected alternatives: સંભાળવું, બચાવવું
Original: τηρέω
Category: Preservation

New term, Jude’s central τηρέω keyword-chain (1:1, 1:6, 1:13, 1:21). MUST be rendered identically at all four occurrences to preserve the deliberate wordplay that the same divine keeping-power both preserves believers and confines the rebellious for judgment. Never confused with Jain saṃvara (self-guarding through ascetic vows) — the keeping is entirely God’s sovereign action. Any deviation across the chain is an automatic Critical-tier flag regardless of this term’s own tier.

Guard From Stumbling

Approved rendering: રક્ષણ કરવું
Transliteration: rakṣaṇ karavũ
Doctrine: Kept by God and Presented Blameless
Rejected alternatives: જાળવી રાખવું (must remain a distinct verb from τηρέω so the two keeping-verbs stay linked yet distinguishable)
Original: φυλάσσω
Category: Preservation

New term. Jude 1:24 (φυλάσσω), the letter’s climactic statement of God’s own unconditional guarding power. Must not be read as Jain saṃvara self-guarding through ascetic vow-keeping.

Slave Of Christ

Approved rendering: દાસ
Transliteration: dās
Doctrine: Servant of Christ and Apostolic Authority
Original: δοῦλος
Category: Christology

New term. Jude 1:1 (δοῦλος). Gujarat’s Vaishnav bhakti poetic tradition uses this exact self-designation (’___ dāsa’) for devotee-surrender to any freely chosen iṣṭa-devatā. Teaching must clarify Jude’s દાસ status flows from Christ’s unique, exclusive lordship and a specific redemptive purchase, not personal devotional preference.

Glorious Ones Angelic

Approved rendering: મહિમાવાન સ્વર્ગદૂતો
Transliteration: mahimāvān svargadūto
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Rejected alternatives: conflating with the singular મહિમા sense (God’s own glory)
Original: δόξαι
Category: Angelology

New term. Jude 1:8 (δόξαι, plural ‘glorious beings’ = angels), a distinct sense from the baseline’s established singular મહિમા. Requires a distinguishing gloss so the two senses are never conflated.

Medium Risk Terms

Apostle

Approved rendering: પ્રેરિત
Transliteration: prerit
Doctrine: Servant of Christ and Apostolic Authority
Rejected alternatives: ગુરુ, સંદેશવાહક
Original: ἀπόστολος
Category: Church

Inherited from Romans package, unchanged. Jude 1:17 appeals to apostolic prediction as authoritative; distinguish from a self-attained guru/acharya role.

Peace

Approved rendering: શાંતિ
Transliteration: śānti
Doctrine: Divine Calling and Sainthood
Rejected alternatives: મનની શાંતિ
Original: εἰρήνη
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Romans package, unchanged. Part of the greeting-triad (mercy, peace, love) in Jude 1:2.

Delivered Entrusted

Approved rendering: સોંપાયેલો
Transliteration: soṅpāyelo
Doctrine: Contending for the Faith Once Delivered
Rejected alternatives: આપવામાં આવેલો (too weak, merely ‘given’)
Original: παραδίδωμι
Category: Faith

New term. Jude 1:3: the faith ‘entrusted to the saints.’ Formal transmission of a closed apostolic deposit.

Angels

Approved rendering: દેવદૂત
Transliteration: devdūt
Doctrine: Angelic Rebellion and Judgment
Rejected alternatives: દેવ, દેવતા
Original: ἄγγελος
Category: Angelology

New term. Jude 1:6, second OT-adjacent warning type. Both Hindu and Jain cosmology include a ‘deva’ class of heavenly beings still bound within the karma-samsara rebirth cycle, a rank one is reborn into — biblical angels are created, morally accountable spirit-beings who chose rebellion.

Without Stumbling

Approved rendering: લપસ્યા વિના
Transliteration: lapasyā vinā
Doctrine: Kept by God and Presented Blameless
Original: ἄπταιστος
Category: Preservation

New term. Jude 1:24: the guaranteed outcome of God’s guarding, achieved by God’s power, not the believer’s own balance.

Present Before Glory

Approved rendering: તેમના મહિમા સમક્ષ રજૂ કરવો
Transliteration: temnā mahimā samakṣa rajū karavo
Doctrine: Kept by God and Presented Blameless
Original: ἵστημι / στήσαι κατενώπιον τῆς δόξης
Category: Preservation

New term. Jude 1:24. Forensic/ceremonial presentation imagery, structurally parallel to the baseline’s justification/imputed_righteousness forensic-declaration pattern.

Able

Approved rendering: સમર્થ
Transliteration: samarth
Doctrine: Doxology and God’s Preserving Power
Rejected alternatives: શક્તિ
Original: δύναμαι
Category: God

New term. Jude 1:24, ‘to him who is able’ (δύναμαι). Consistent with the baseline’s power_of_god root; never શક્તિ (Shakti/mother-goddess devotional collision).

Eternal Life

Approved rendering: અનંત જીવન
Transliteration: anant jīvan
Doctrine: Eternal Life and Hope
Rejected alternatives: સનાતન જીવન
Original: ζωὴν αἰώνιον
Category: Salvation

New term. Jude 1:21. સનાતન is closely bound to contemporary Hindu ‘Sanatan Dharma’ self-designation; અનંત conveys unending duration without this branding.

Eternal Fire

Approved rendering: અનંત અગ્નિ
Transliteration: anant agni
Doctrine: Sodom as Warning Against Immorality
Rejected alternatives: purifying Vedic yajna/havan-fire framing, Hindu/Jain cremation-fire purification framing
Original: πῦρ αἰώνιον
Category: Judgment

New term. Jude 1:7, Sodom and Gomorrah’s ongoing punishment. This fire is punitive and final, never purificatory — contrast must be made explicit in teaching notes.

Wavering Doubting

Approved rendering: શંકામાં પડેલા
Transliteration: śaṅkāmā paḍelā
Doctrine: Mercy and Rescue of the Wavering
Rejected alternatives: reuse of વિવાદ કરી રહ્યો હતો (the distinct v.9 sense of the same Greek root)
Original: διακρινόμενος
Category: Faith

New term. Jude 1:22 (διακρινόμενος), inward hesitation under false-teacher pressure — the specific target of the first mercy-command. Must not use the same Gujarati rendering as the v.9 dispute entry.

Dispute

Approved rendering: વિવાદ કરી રહ્યો હતો
Transliteration: vivād karī rahyo hato
Doctrine: Angelic Rebellion and Judgment
Rejected alternatives: reuse of શંકામાં પડેલા (the distinct v.22 sense of the same Greek root)
Original: διακρινόμενος διελέγετο
Category: Angelology

New term. Jude 1:9 (διακρινόμενος διελέγετο), Michael’s formal legal-style dispute with the devil over Moses’ body — outward contention, not inward doubt.

Snatch

Approved rendering: અગ્નિમાંથી ખેંચી લેવું
Transliteration: agnimāṅthī khēṅchī levũ
Doctrine: Mercy and Rescue of the Wavering
Original: ἁρπάζω
Category: Salvation

New term. Jude 1:23 (ἁρπάζω), echoing v.7’s eternal fire — vivid, urgent, risk-taking rescue image.

Stained Garment

Approved rendering: મેલું વસ્ત્ર
Transliteration: melũ vastra
Doctrine: Mercy and Rescue of the Wavering
Original: ἐσπιλωμένον χιτῶνα
Category: Sanctification

New term. Jude 1:23 (ἐσπιλωμένον χιτῶνα). Caution against moral contamination even while rescuing others.

Devil

Approved rendering: શેતાન
Transliteration: śetān
Doctrine: Angelic Rebellion and Judgment
Rejected alternatives: generic ભૂત-પ્રેત (folk ghost/spirit) framing
Original: διάβολος
Category: Angelology

New term. Jude 1:9 (διάβολος). Established cross-religious loanword; must be taught as the one specific fallen angelic adversary, not a class of wandering spirits.

Mocker Scoffer

Approved rendering: મશ્કરી કરનારા
Transliteration: maśkarī karnārā
Doctrine: Final Judgment and Christ’s Second Coming
Original: ἐμπαίκτης
Category: Eschatology

Transliteration: bhāgalā pāḍnārā
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Original: ἀποδιορίζω
Category: Church

New term. Jude 1:19 (ἀποδιορίζοντες). Moderate risk of being absorbed into caste/community-division associations already flagged in the baseline for church_as_gods_people.

Error Deception

Approved rendering: ભ્રમણા
Transliteration: bhramaṇā
Doctrine: Named Old Testament Rebels: Cain, Balaam, Korah
Rejected alternatives: માયા
Original: πλάνη
Category: Sin

New term. Jude 1:11, Balaam’s error (πλάνη). Distinguish from Hindu māyā, an impersonal cosmic illusion veiling ultimate reality — Balaam’s error is a specific, culpable, greed-motivated moral departure.

Wage Reward

Approved rendering: બદલો / મજૂરી
Transliteration: badalo / majūrī
Doctrine: Named Old Testament Rebels: Cain, Balaam, Korah
Original: μισθός

Original: ἁμαρτωλός
Category: Sin

New term, derived from the baseline’s established પાપ root (ἁμαρτωλός). Jude 1:15, paired with પરમેશ્વરવિહોણા for rhetorical weight (‘ungodly sinners’).

Transliteration: doṣit sābit karavā
Doctrine: Final Judgment and Christ’s Second Coming
Original: ἐλέγχω
Category: Judgment

New term. Jude 1:15 (ἐλέγξαι), God’s final exposure of every hidden ungodly deed.

Transliteration: khuśāmat karavī
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Original: θαυμάζοντες πρόσωπα
Category: Sin

New term. Jude 1:16 (θαυμάζοντες πρόσωπα). Moderate risk of being read as ordinary politeness — context must clarify manipulative, self-serving intent.

Last Time

Approved rendering: છેલ્લા સમયમાં
Transliteration: chhellā samayamā
Doctrine: Final Judgment and Christ’s Second Coming
Rejected alternatives: any cyclical-age framing compatible with the Hindu yuga cycle or Jain cosmic wheel
Original: ἐσχάτου χρόνου

Transliteration: sadākāḷ pahelā, hamaṇā ane sadā sarvakāḷ sudhī

Rejected alternatives: સનાતન
Original: πρὸ παντὸς τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ νῦν καὶ εἰς πάντας τοὺς αἰῶνας
Category: Doxology

New term. Jude 1:25. REJECTED: સનાતન, bound to contemporary Hindu ‘Sanatan Dharma’ self-designation and repeating-cycle cosmology. Must render a single linear eternity — never abbreviated to સનાતન even in space-constrained contexts.

Transliteration: vyabhichār karavo
Doctrine: Sodom as Warning Against Immorality
Original: ἐκπορνεύω

Transliteration: protsāhan āpavũ / vinantī karavī

Prophecy

Approved rendering: ભવિષ્યવાણી
Transliteration: bhaviṣyavāṇī
Doctrine: Final Judgment and Christ’s Second Coming
Rejected alternatives: ભવિષ્યફળ
