Core Glossary

Core Glossary — Titus | English → Gujarati

This glossary records every load-bearing theological term identified across the whole book of Titus (chapters 1–3), citing the chapter(s) where each occurs. Terms already present in the baseline Romans translation_memory.json are marked [TM] and MUST use the exact recorded Gujarati rendering — no deviation permitted. New terms unique to the Titus curriculum are marked [NEW] and are proposed here for addition to translation memory, pending the standard risk-review process defined in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md.

Risk tiers follow baseline convention: Critical = human theologian review of every occurrence; High = human theologian review; Medium = native speaker review; Low = automated review sufficient.

Section 2 — New Terms Introduced by Titus

#	English Term	Greek	Transliteration	Gujarati Rendering	Gujarati Transliteration	Risk	Doctrine	Titus Occurrences	Rejected Alternatives	Notes
22	Savior	σωτήρ	sōtēr	ઉદ્ધારક	uddhārak	Critical	Deity of Christ / Salvation	1:3,4; 2:10,13; 3:4,6	મુક્તિદાતા (moksha-root)	Built on TM’s ઉદ્ધાર root. Title shared by both Father (1:3; 3:4) and Son (2:13; 3:6) — must render identically for both to preserve Trinitarian symmetry.
23	great God and Savior (Christ)	μεγάλου θεοῦ καὶ σωτῆρος	megalou theou kai sōtēros	મહાન પરમેશ્વર અને ઉદ્ધારક	mahān Parmeśvar ane uddhārak	Critical	Deity of Christ	2:13	phrasing implying two referents	Single-referent grammatical construction (Sharp’s rule); must not be rendered as if naming two persons.

Retain standard Gujarati Christian usage but require a mandatory distinguishing note (grace-produced, not self-attained) on every doctrinally significant occurrence — same treatment pattern as TM’s કૃપા and વિશ્વાસ.
29	worldly passions / desire	ἐπιθυμία (κοσμική)	epithymia	વાસના / સાંસારિક વાસના	vāsanā / sānsārik vāsanā	Medium	Grace That Trains	2:12; 3:3	—	વાસના carries karmic-residue connotation in Hindu/Jain thought; mandatory note that no karmic mechanism is implied here.

39	mercy	ἔλεος	eleos	દયા	dayā	High	Salvation by Grace not Works	3:5	—	Distinct from but paired with grace: mercy withholds deserved judgment; grace gives undeserved favor.
40	washing	λουτρόν	loutron	ધોવાણ	dhovāṇ	High	Regeneration by the Holy Spirit	3:5	સ્નાન (ritual bath)	Avoids Hindu ritual-bathing (pilgrimage snana) associations.
41	regeneration	παλιγγενεσία	palingenesia	નવસર્જન	navsarjan	CRITICAL	Regeneration by the Holy Spirit	3:5	પુનર્જન્મ — ABSOLUTE FORBIDDEN	Parallels baseline’s પુનરુત્થાન strategy (avoid જન્મ/birth-root compounds); denotes one-time Spirit-wrought new creation, never reincarnation/transmigration.
42	renewal	ἀνακαίνωσις	anakainōsis	નવીનીકરણ	navīnīkaraṇ	High	Regeneration by the Holy Spirit	3:5	—	Paired with #41; ongoing renovation distinct from the one-time new-creation event.
43	poured out (of the Spirit)	ἐκχέω	ekcheō	રેડવું	redvũ	Medium	Regeneration by the Holy Spirit	3:6	—
44	heir	κληρονόμος	klēronomos	વારસ	vāras	Medium	Salvation / Adoption (adjacent)	3:7	—
45	eternal life	ζωὴ αἰώνιος	zōē aiōnios	અનંત જીવન	anant jīvan	Medium/High	Salvation by Grace not Works	1:2; 3:7	યુગોનું જીવન (yuga-based compound)	Uses અનંત (“unending”) rather than a યુગ-based compound, consistent with #30’s caution.
46	trustworthy saying	Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος	Pistos ho logos	વિશ્વાસપાત્ર વચન	viśvāsapātra vachan	Medium	Sound Doctrine and Good Works	3:8	—	Recurring Pastoral-Epistles formula; keep consistent if reused in future curricula.

52	knowledge of the truth	ἐπίγνωσις ἀληθείας	epignōsis alētheias	સત્યનું જ્ઞાન	satya-nũ gnān	High	Inspiration/Sound Doctrine (adjacent)	1:1	—	જ્ઞાન collides with Jain kevala-jnana (self-attained omniscience); must be taught as revealed, received knowledge.
53	myth	μῦθος	mythos	કલ્પિત વાર્તા	kalpit vārtā	Medium/High	Sound Doctrine and Good Works	1:14	—	Scope narrowly to the specific false teaching in view; not a blanket dismissal of all traditional narrative genres.
54	submit / be subject	ὑποτάσσω	hypotassō	આધીન થવું / રહેવું	ādhīn thavũ/rahevũ	High	Submission to Authority	2:5,9; 3:1	—	Voluntary ordered submission to legitimate authority, distinct from merit-earning submission to a guru/teacher.

61	admonition	νουθεσία	nouthesia	ચેતવણી	chetvaṇī	Medium	Avoiding Divisive Controversies	3:10	—

Section 3 — Low-Risk Standard Vocabulary (Reviewed, No Individual Doctrine-Collision Flag)

The following terms occur in Titus and were reviewed for collision risk; none rose above Low risk. They should still enter translation memory for consistency but require no theologian escalation:

Term(s)	Greek	Gujarati	Chapter(s)
foolish, disobedient, led astray	ἀνόητος, ἀπειθής, πλανάω	મૂર્ખ, અનાજ્ઞાકારી, ભુલાવેલા	3:3
malice, envy, hate	κακία, φθόνος, μισέω	દુષ્ટતા, અદેખાઈ, ધિક્કારવું	3:3
kindness, loving-kindness	χρηστότης, φιλανθρωπία	ભલાઈ, માનવપ્રીતિ	3:4 (Medium — see note below)
peaceable, gentle, gentleness	ἄμαχος, ἐπιεικής, πραΰτης	શાંતિપ્રિય, સૌમ્ય, નમ્રતા	3:2
elder-qualification vice/virtue list (representative terms glossed in 07; remainder standard vocabulary)	αὐθάδης, ὀργίλος, πάροινος, πλήκτης, αἰσχροκερδής, φιλόξενος, φιλάγαθος, δίκαιος, ὅσιος, ἐγκρατής	સ્વછંદી, ક્રોધી, દ્રાક્ષારસનો, હિંસક, લોભી, અતિથિપ્રિય, ભલાઈનો પ્રેમી, ન્યાયી, પવિત્ર, સ્વનિયંત્રિત	1:6-8
household virtue terms	φίλανδρος, φιλότεκνος, οἰκουργός, ἁγνή	પતિપ્રેમી, સંતાનપ્રેમી, ઘરકામ કરનારી, પવિત્ર	2:4-5
example, integrity, dignity	τύπος, ἀφθορία, σεμνότης	નમૂનો, અખંડિતતા, ગૌરવ	2:7
adorn (teaching)	κοσμέω	શોભાવવું	2:10
self-condemned, unfruitful, warped	αὐτοκατάκριτος, ἄκαρπος, ἐκστρέφω	સ્વયં દોષિત, ફળ વિનાનું, બગડેલો	3:11,14
insist, profitable, careful/devoted	διαβεβαιόομαι, ὠφέλιμος, φροντίζω/προΐστημι	ભારપૂર્વક કહેવું, લાભદાયી, ખંતથી કરવું	3:8

Note on χρηστότης/φιλανθρωπία (3:4): although the individual lexical risk is Low-Medium, their doctrinal role as the positive turning-point of the Salvation by Grace not Works passage (3:3-5) means any segment containing them should still be flagged for native speaker review per the escalation rules in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md §“Grace being contrasted with works/merit.”

Cross-Reference to Doctrine Risk Registry

All Critical and High risk terms in Section 2 above must be added to an extended doctrine_risk_registry.json for Titus (Phase 1 Step 2 deliverable) under the following doctrine headings, consistent with the curriculum parameters:

Grace That Trains for Godly Living → terms #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30
Qualifications for Elders → terms #47, #48, #49, #50
Sound Doctrine and Good Works → terms #37, #38, #51, #52, #53

This glossary must be loaded alongside the baseline translation_memory.json for all Phase 2 Titus translation work. No term listed in Section 1 may be re-translated; all Section 2 terms are proposed additions pending the standard version-increment procedure defined in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md.

Critical Risk Terms

Grace

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

Inherited from Romans package, exact rendering required. In Titus, grace is personified as an active trainer of godly character (2:11-12) and is directly and explicitly contrasted with ‘works done by us in righteousness’ (3:4-7) — every such segment must preserve the contrast against both the Hindu karma-merit economy and Jain nirjara (self-effort karmic shedding).

Righteousness

Approved rendering: ન્યાયીપણું
Transliteration: nyāyīpaṇũ
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: ધર્મ, પુણ્ય, સમ્યક્ ચારિત્ર્ય
Original: δικαιοσύνη
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Romans package. Titus 3:5 explicitly negates ‘works done by us in righteousness’ as a basis of salvation — even sincerely righteous deeds cannot save; this is forensic standing granted, not conduct achieved.

Justification

Approved rendering: ન્યાયી ઠરાવવું
Transliteration: nyāyī ṭharāvavũ
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: માફી મળવી, પુણ્ય કમાવું
Original: δικαιόω (aor. pass. part. δικαιωθέντες)
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Romans package. Applied in Titus 3:7 as the ground of becoming an heir (‘having been justified by his grace we might become heirs’).

Salvation

Approved rendering: ઉદ્ધાર
Transliteration: uddhār
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: મોક્ષ, મુક્તિ, કેવલજ્ઞાન, સિદ્ધત્વ
Original: σωτηρία (verbal root ἔσωσεν, Titus 3:5)
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Romans package. Titus 3:5’s verb ἔσωσεν (‘he saved us’) must render as ઉદ્ધાર કર્યો, reusing this exact root. NEVER મોક્ષ, મુક્તિ, કેવલજ્ઞાન, or સિદ્ધત્વ — 3:5 directly denies that salvation is self-attained liberation from karmic bondage.

Holy Spirit

Approved rendering: પવિત્ર આત્મા
Transliteration: Pavitra Ātmā
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: પરમાત્મા, બ્રહ્મ
Original: πνεῦμα ἅγιον
Category: God

Inherited from Romans package, exact rendering required. Titus 3:5-6 names the Spirit as the personal divine agent of regeneration and renewal, poured out richly through Christ — a Trinitarian, personal act, never an impersonal life-force.

Jesus

Approved rendering: ઈસુ
Transliteration: Īsu
Doctrine: Lordship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: ઈસા
Original: Ἰησοῦς
Category: Christology

Inherited from Romans package. Occurs throughout Titus, always within Savior/Christ titles (1:1,4; 2:13; 3:6).

God

Approved rendering: પરમેશ્વર
Transliteration: Parmeśvar
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: ઈશ્વર, ભગવાન
Original: θεός
Category: God

Inherited from Romans package. Titus 2:13 identifies God and Christ together in a single Savior title (see great_god_and_savior below) — the single-referent construction depends on this term never being replaced with ભગવાન or ઈશ્વર.

Father

Approved rendering: પિતા
Transliteration: Pitā
Doctrine: Adoption into God’s Family
Rejected alternatives: સૃષ્ટિકર્તા
Original: (implied epistolary; πατήρ pattern)
Category: God

Inherited from Romans package. Named in the Titus 1:4 greeting formula.

Lord

Approved rendering: પ્રભુ
Transliteration: prabhu
Doctrine: Lordship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: સ્વામી, તીર્થંકર

Inherited from Romans package. Not a frequent title-word in Titus itself, but standing here as an internal fencing rule: પ્રભુ is reserved exclusively for Christ and must NEVER be used to render δεσπότης (‘master,’ Titus 2:9), the human household-authority figure.

Savior

Approved rendering: ઉદ્ધારક
Transliteration: uddhārak
Doctrine: Deity of Christ (Savior Title)
Rejected alternatives: મુક્તિદાતા
Original: σωτήρ
Category: Christology

New term built on TM’s ઉદ્ધાર root. Title shared by both the Father (1:3; 3:4) and the Son (2:13; 3:6) — must render identically for both to preserve Trinitarian symmetry. Never રેન્ડર as મુક્તિદાતા (moksha-root).

Great God And Savior

Approved rendering: મહાન પરમેશ્વર અને ઉદ્ધારક
Transliteration: mahān Parmeśvar ane uddhārak
Doctrine: Deity of Christ (Savior Title)
Rejected alternatives: phrasing with a comma or connector implying two referents (e.g. ‘આપણા મોટા પરમેશ્વર, અને આપણા ઉદ્ધારક ઈસુ ખ્રિસ્ત’)
Original: τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ καὶ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
Category: Christology

Single-referent Greek construction (Sharp’s rule): one article governing two nouns joined by καί, followed by one genitive name, identifies Jesus Christ AS ‘the great God and Savior.’ Render as one continuous title with no comma/connector. Mandatory theologian review on every occurrence. Never echo Jehovah’s Witness (NWT)-style two-referent splitting.

Appearing

Approved rendering: પ્રગટ થવું / પ્રગટન
Transliteration: pragaṭ thavũ / pragaṭan
Doctrine: Deity of Christ (Savior Title)
Rejected alternatives: અવતાર-adjacent vocabulary (અવતાર, અવતરવું)
Original: ἐπιφαίνω (ἐπεφάνη) / ἐπιφάνεια
Category: Christology

Covers both the incarnation/first coming (2:11; 3:4) and Christ’s future visible return (2:13) with the same event-family term. NEVER render with અવતાર-adjacent vocabulary suggesting a repeatable divine descent, especially salient given nearby Dwarka’s Vaishnav avatar theology. Use the identical verb-family across all three occurrences as a consistency set.

Good Works

Approved rendering: સારાં કામ
Transliteration: sārā kām
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Original: καλὰ ἔργα
Category: Sanctification

Titus 1:16; 2:7,14; 3:1,8,14 (καλὰ/καλὸν ἔργα/ἔργον). The positive fruit-of-grace sense, exclusively. Must always be kept subsequent to and dependent on grace/salvation, never causal. Never merge with ‘works_soteriological’ (કૃત્યો) below — the two-word system is mandatory throughout the letter.

Works Soteriological

Approved rendering: કૃત્યો
Transliteration: kṛtyo
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: કર્મ (karma) — ABSOLUTE FORBIDDEN
Original: ἔργα (ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ)
Category: Salvation

Titus 1:16 (negative form); 3:5 (ἔργων … ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ). ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN: કર્મ, the load-bearing technical term of Hindu/Jain soteriology naming the self-generated karmic ledger. Using કર્મ would make Paul appear to deny only one form of karmic accounting while implying salvation is still some other form of self-earned merit. Highest-priority forbidden-substitution in the entire Titus curriculum.

Regeneration

Approved rendering: નવસર્જન
Transliteration: navsarjan
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Rejected alternatives: પુનર્જન્મ (punarjanma) — ABSOLUTE FORBIDDEN, નવજન્મ, કાયાપલટ
Original: παλιγγενεσία
Category: Sanctification

Titus 3:5 (παλιγγενεσία). ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN: પુનર્જન્મ, the precise Hindu/Jain technical term for the soul’s reincarnation/transmigration into a new body by accumulated karma — the exact mechanical, cyclical, self-driven process this verse’s ‘not by works’ clause denies. Deliberately avoids the જન્મ (birth) morpheme entirely, paralleling baseline’s પુનરુત્થાન strategy for resurrection. Mandatory theologian review on every occurrence.

Sound Doctrine

Approved rendering: તંદુરસ્ત ઉપદેશ
Transliteration: tandurast updesh
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Rejected alternatives: શુદ્ધ ઉપદેશ
Original: ὑγιαινούσῃ διδασκαλίᾳ / λόγος ὑγιής
Category: Sanctification

Titus 1:9,13; 2:1,8 (ὑγιαινούσῃ διδασκαλίᾳ / λόγος ὑγιής). Preserves Paul’s health/sickness metaphor (ὑγιαίνω, ‘to be healthy’). Avoid શુદ્ધ ઉપદેશ (‘pure teaching’) — શુદ્ધ leans toward ritual/ascetic purity and would obscure the metaphor. Must render identically at every occurrence.

High Risk Terms

Gospel

Approved rendering: સુવાર્તા
Transliteration: suvārtā
Doctrine: Gospel
Rejected alternatives: ખબર, શુભ સંદેશ
Original: εὐαγγέλιον (implied; cf. κήρυγμα Titus 1:3)
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Romans package. In Titus the gospel is specifically the message of grace that appeared bringing salvation to all people (2:11) and the preaching (κήρυγμα) entrusted to Paul (1:3); must convey a single historical announcement, not one religious teaching among Gujarat’s many paths.

Faith

Approved rendering: વિશ્વાસ
Transliteration: viśvāsa
Doctrine: Faith
Rejected alternatives: શ્રદ્ધા, ભક્તિ
Original: πίστις
Category: Faith

Inherited from Romans package. Occurs in Titus as the shared faith of God’s elect (1:1,4), a household virtue (2:2,10), the settled state of believers (3:8), and the root of the ‘trustworthy saying’ formula (વિશ્વાસપાત્ર વચન, 3:8).

Holy

Approved rendering: પવિત્ર
Transliteration: pavitra
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: શુદ્ધ
Original: ἅγιος / ἁγνός / καθαρός
Category: Sanctification

Inherited from Romans package. Root for the Holy Spirit (3:5), for Christ’s purifying action (2:14, પવિત્ર કરવું), and for moral/chaste conduct (2:5, ἁγναί). Note: Titus 1:15’s ‘pure/defiled’ (καθαρά/μεμιαμμένοις) is one of the rare places શુદ્ધ/અશુદ્ધ is contextually appropriate, since Paul is there directly engaging ritual-purity categories, not describing sanctification.

Law

Approved rendering: નિયમશાસ્ત્ર
Transliteration: niyamśāstra
Doctrine: Fulfillment of Prophecy
Rejected alternatives: ધર્મ, શરિયત
Original: νόμος (root; νομικάς Titus 3:9)
Category: Covenant

Inherited from Romans package. Root for Titus 3:9’s ‘quarrels about the law’ (νομικάς → નિયમશાસ્ત્ર સંબંધી તકરારો) and for ‘lawlessness’ (ἀνομία → નિયમહીનતા, 2:14). NEVER ધર્મ.

Election

Approved rendering: પરમેશ્વરની પસંદગી
Transliteration: Parmeśvarnī Pasandagī
Doctrine: Divine Election
Rejected alternatives: નસીબ, નિયતિ, કર્મ-ફળ
Original: ἐκλεκτῶν (root ἐκλογή)
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Romans package (root). Titus 1:1: Paul’s ministry is ‘for the sake of the faith of God’s elect’ (ἐκλεκτῶν → પસંદ કરાયેલા). Not impersonal fate or self-generated Jain karmic cause-and-effect.

Glory

Approved rendering: મહિમા
Transliteration: mahimā
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: તેજ, પ્રકાશ
Original: δόξα
Category: God

Inherited from Romans package. Titus 2:13: ‘the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.’ Avoid light-only imagery that could merge with Jain kevala-jnana associations.

Sin

Approved rendering: પાપ
Transliteration: pāp
Doctrine: Universal Human Accountability
Rejected alternatives: અધર્મ
Original: ἁμαρτάνω (root, ἁμαρτάνει Titus 3:11)
Category: Sin

Inherited from Romans package (root). Used of the divisive person’s self-condemning sin in Titus 3:11 (ἁμαρτάνει). Distinct from the impersonal karmic residue (karma-pudgala) of Jain doctrine.

Sanctification

Approved rendering: પવિત્રીકરણ
Transliteration: pavitrikaraṇ
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: શુદ્ધિકરણ, તપ દ્વારા શુદ્ધિ
Original: (pattern; cf. καθαρίσῃ 2:14, ἁγιασμός pattern)
Category: Sanctification

Inherited from Romans package (root). Applied as a pattern to Christ’s purifying action (2:14) and the Spirit’s renewal (3:5). Distinguish from tapa (Jain ascetic austerity).

Training

Approved rendering: તાલીમ આપવી
Transliteration: tālīm āpavī
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: તપ (tapa, ascetic self-training)
Original: παιδεύουσα (παιδεύω)
Category: Sanctification

Titus 2:12 (παιδεύουσα): grace itself is the grammatical agent that trains believers. Must be framed as grace’s own action upon the believer, never self-imposed ascetic discipline (tapa/samyam). Keep કૃપા explicit as the subject: ‘કૃપા…તાલીમ આપે છે.‘

Godliness

Approved rendering: ઈશ્વરપરાયણતા
Transliteration: īśvarparāyaṇatā
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: ભક્તિ (alone), ધર્મનિષ્ઠા
Original: εὐσέβεια / εὐσεβῶς
Category: Sanctification

Titus 1:1; 2:12 (εὐσέβεια/εὐσεβῶς). Avoid ભક્તિ-alone (bhakti-devotional-to-any-deity connotation) and the ધર્મ root (Jain metaphysical substance / Hindu duty-order).

Ungodliness

Approved rendering: ઈશ્વરહીનતા
Transliteration: īśvarhīnatā
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: અધર્મ
Original: ἀσέβεια
Category: Sanctification

Titus 2:12 (ἀσέβεια), the antonym pair renounced by grace’s training. Avoid ધર્મ-root compounds.

Self Control

Approved rendering: સંયમી / સંયમથી
Transliteration: sanyamī / sanyamthī
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Original: σώφρων / σωφρόνως / σωφρονίζω
Category: Sanctification

Titus 1:8; 2:2,4,5,6,12 (σώφρων/σωφρόνως/σωφρονίζω). COLLISION RISK: સંયમ (samyam) is a core Jain ascetic-restraint virtue believed to shed karma through self-effort. Retain standard Gujarati Christian usage but require a mandatory distinguishing note on every doctrinally significant occurrence: this virtue is grace’s product (2:11-12), not self-attained ascetic restraint. Repetition-reinforcement rule: the note must recur at least once per lesson unit, not merely once per letter.

Present Age

Approved rendering: વર્તમાન કાળ
Transliteration: vartamān kāl
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: યુગ (yuga)
Original: (νῦν) αἰών
Category: Eschatology

Titus 2:12 ((νῦν) αἰών). NEVER યુગ — યુગ names the four cyclical Hindu cosmological ages and risks assimilating Paul’s linear salvation-history into cyclical cosmology.

Atonement Self Giving

Approved rendering: પોતાને…માટે આપ્યો
Transliteration: potāne…māṭe āpyo
Doctrine: Atonement
Original: ἔδωκεν ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν
Category: Christology

Titus 2:14 (ἔδωκεν ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν). Christ’s voluntary substitutionary self-sacrifice. Per baseline escalation rules, every atonement/propitiation-adjacent segment requires mandatory theologian review.

Redemption

Approved rendering: ઉગારવું
Transliteration: ugārvũ
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: મુક્ત કરવું (moksha-root)
Original: λυτρόομαι (λυτρώσηται)
Category: Salvation

Titus 2:14 (λυτρώσηται). Never derive from મુક્ત-root vocabulary. Keep distinct from but causally linked to ઉદ્ધાર (salvation) — redemption names the purchase-price mechanism behind salvation.

Lawlessness

Approved rendering: નિયમહીનતા
Transliteration: niyamhīnatā
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Rejected alternatives: અધર્મ
Original: ἀνομία
Category: Sin

Titus 2:14 (ἀνομία), built on TM’s નિયમશાસ્ત્ર root. Avoid અધર્મ, which reads through Hindu dharma categories.

Purify

Approved rendering: પવિત્ર કરવું
Transliteration: pavitra karvũ
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: શુદ્ધ કરવું
Original: καθαρίζω (καθαρίσῃ)
Category: Sanctification

Titus 2:14 (καθαρίσῃ). Uses the પવિત્ર root rather than શુદ્ધ, which leans toward ritual/ascetic purity relevant to Jain purity practice, consistent with baseline sanctification convention.

Peculiar People

Approved rendering: પોતાની ખાસ પ્રજા
Transliteration: potānī khās prajā
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Original: λαὸς περιούσιος
Category: Church

Titus 2:14 (λαὸς περιούσιος, echoing Exodus 19:5 LXX). Must be taught alongside the Universal Scope of the Gospel doctrine so it is not misread as a new caste-like elite category in Gujarat’s caste-conscious social context.

Mercy

Approved rendering: દયા
Transliteration: dayā
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Original: ἔλεος
Category: Salvation

Titus 3:5 (ἔλεος), the stated positive ground of salvation. Must be taught alongside કૃપા (grace) as closely related but distinct: mercy withholds deserved judgment; grace gives undeserved favor. Neither is a reward for effort. Requires a co-occurrence note wherever both terms appear together in the same passage.

Washing

Approved rendering: ધોવાણ
Transliteration: dhovāṇ
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Rejected alternatives: સ્નાન (ritual bath)
Original: λουτρόν
Category: Sanctification

Titus 3:5 (λουτρόν). Avoid સ્નાન, which in Gujarati religious usage names Hindu purificatory/pilgrimage bathing; ધોવાણ keeps the sense generic.

Renewal

Approved rendering: નવીનીકરણ
Transliteration: navīnīkaraṇ
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Original: ἀνακαίνωσις
Category: Sanctification

Titus 3:5 (ἀνακαίνωσις). The Spirit’s continuing renovating work, paired with but distinct from the one-time event of regeneration (નવસર્જન).

Eternal Life

Approved rendering: અનંત જીવન
Transliteration: anant jīvan
Doctrine: Eternal Life and Inheritance
Rejected alternatives: યુગોનું જીવન (yuga-based compound)
Original: ζωὴ αἰώνιος
Category: Eschatology

Titus 1:2; 3:7 (ζωὴ αἰώνιος). Uses અનંત (‘unending/infinite’) rather than a યુગ-based compound, for the same reason αἰών was handled carefully at 2:12.

Elder

Approved rendering: વડીલ
Transliteration: vaḍīl
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Rejected alternatives: ગુરુ, સંત, મુનિ, આચાર્ય, મહંત
Original: πρεσβύτερος
Category: Church

Titus 1:5 (πρεσβύτερος). An appointed local church office defined by specific moral qualifications, not spiritual attainment, ascetic seniority, or lineage initiation (guru-diksha). Must never be rendered with ગુરુ, સંત, or મુનિ, all of which name status attained through personal ascetic/devotional achievement in Gujarat’s dominant traditions.

Overseer

Approved rendering: દેખરેખ રાખનાર
Transliteration: dekhrekh rākhnār
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Rejected alternatives: પૂજારી (temple priest)
Original: ἐπίσκοπος
Category: Church

Titus 1:7 (ἐπίσκοπος). Same office as ‘elder,’ viewed functionally (oversight/care). Do not collapse with elder into one generic ‘church leader’ term — keep both distinct per Titus 1:5-9’s dual usage. Must not be confused with a temple priest/caretaker role.

Knowledge Of Truth

Approved rendering: સત્યનું જ્ઞાન
Transliteration: satya-nũ gnān
Doctrine: Revealed Knowledge of the Truth
Original: ἐπίγνωσις ἀληθείας
Category: Sanctification

Titus 1:1 (ἐπίγνωσις ἀληθείας). COLLISION RISK: જ્ઞાન is the central term of Jain kevala-jnana, self-attained omniscient enlightenment through ascetic effort. Here it is knowledge given by God through revelation and received by faith, never self-attained. Always bind જ્ઞાન to સત્યનું and to a verb of receiving, not attaining.

Myth

Approved rendering: કલ્પિત વાર્તા
Transliteration: kalpit vārtā
Doctrine: False Teaching and Jewish Myths
Original: μῦθος
Category: Sanctification

Titus 1:14 (μῦθος), ‘Jewish myths.’ Must be scoped narrowly to the specific legalistic false teaching Paul opposes, never heard as a blanket dismissal of Gujarati readers’ own traditional religious narratives (itihasa/purana).

Submit To Authority

Approved rendering: આધીન થવું / રહેવું
Transliteration: ādhīn thavũ / rahevũ
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
Original: ὑποτάσσεσθαι
Category: Church

Titus 2:5,9; 3:1 (ὑποτάσσεσθαι). Voluntary ordered submission to legitimate civil/household authority, distinct from guru-disciple submission for spiritual attainment (Swaminarayan diksha; Jain monastic obedience). Always co-occur with an explicit object of submission (ruler/husband/master) in the same clause; never leave the verb doctrinally unscoped.

Foolish Controversies

Approved rendering: મૂર્ખ વાદવિવાદ
Transliteration: mūrkha vādvivād
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Original: μωραὶ ζητήσεις
Category: Church

Titus 3:9 (μωρὰς ζητήσεις). Anchor term for this doctrine. Keep in a debate/dispute register (વાદવિવાદ), not a civil-legal filing register.

Divisive Person

Approved rendering: ભાગલા પાડનાર વ્યક્તિ
Transliteration: bhāgalā pāḍnār vyakti
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Original: αἱρετικὸς ἄνθρωπος
Category: Church

Titus 3:10 (αἱρετικὸς ἄνθρωπος). Names the person, not just the debate. Mandatory note: targets persistent relational/factional division after repeated warning, not merely holding a different opinion once; must not be rendered with a heresy-trial register that would suppress sincere inquiry from new believers with Hindu or Jain background.

Quarrels About Law

Approved rendering: નિયમશાસ્ત્ર સંબંધી તકરારો
Transliteration: niyamśāstra sambandhī takrāro
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Original: μάχαι νομικαί
Category: Covenant

Titus 3:9 (μάχας νομικάς), built on TM’s નિયમશાસ્ત્ર root, echoing the circumcision-party conflict of chapter 1.

Loving Kindness

Approved rendering: માનવપ્રીતિ
Transliteration: mānavprīti
Doctrine: Mercy and Grace in Salvation

Titus 3:4 (φιλανθρωπία). God’s own saving love, the ground of salvation — not generic humanitarian philanthropy divorced from grace, a distinction relevant given Gujarat’s strong tradition of religiously-motivated Jain merit-philanthropy.

Universal Scope Phrase

Approved rendering: સર્વ મનુષ્યોને
Transliteration: sarva manuṣyone
Doctrine: Universal Scope of the Gospel

Titus 2:11 (πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις); parallel phrase ‘toward all people’ at 3:2. Must never be softened, qualified, or narrowed for caste-sensitivity reasons — the universality is itself the doctrinal point, challenging caste- and attainment-based spiritual hierarchy.

Medium Risk Terms

Apostle

Approved rendering: પ્રેરિત
Transliteration: prerit
Doctrine: Apostleship
Rejected alternatives: ગુરુ, સંદેશવાહક
Original: ἀπόστολος
Category: Church

Inherited from Romans package. Paul’s self-designation in Titus 1:1, paired with ‘servant of God’ (દાસ), frames all subsequent teaching and elder-appointment authority as delegated, not self-derived guru status.

Peace

Approved rendering: શાંતિ
Transliteration: śānti
Doctrine: Peace with God
Rejected alternatives: મનની શાંતિ
Original: εἰρήνη
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Romans package. Part of the fixed epistolary greeting formula in Titus 1:4: ‘grace and peace’ (કૃપા અને શાંતિ).

Church

Approved rendering: મંડળી
Transliteration: maṇḍaḷī
Doctrine: Church as God’s People
Rejected alternatives: મંદિર, દેરાસર
Original: (conceptual; cf. θεοῦ οἰκίαν / οἰκονόμος, Titus 1:7)
Category: Church

Inherited from Romans package (root). Implied by the elder’s role as ‘steward’ (οἰκονόμος) of God’s household in Titus 1:7. Never મંદિર or દેરાસર.

Worldly Passions

Approved rendering: સાંસારિક વાસના
Transliteration: sānsārik vāsanā
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Original: κοσμικαὶ ἐπιθυμίαι / ἐπιθυμίαι καὶ ἡδοναί
Category: Sin

Titus 2:12; 3:3 (κοσμικαὶ ἐπιθυμίαι / ἐπιθυμίαι καὶ ἡδοναί). COLLISION RISK: વાસના carries karmic latent-impression connotation in Hindu/Jain thought. Mandatory note: here it is simply ‘sinful desire,’ with no karmic-residue mechanism implied.

Blessed Hope

Approved rendering: ધન્ય આશા
Transliteration: dhanya āśā
Doctrine: Second Coming and Blessed Hope
Original: μακαρία ἐλπίς
Category: Eschatology

Titus 2:13 (μακαρίαν ἐλπίδα). Confident, forward-looking hope, not fatalistic resignation to impersonal fate.

Category: God

Titus 3:6 (ἐξέχεεν). Echoes Pentecost-language of the Spirit’s abundant outpouring, underscoring God’s initiative, not human attainment.

Heir

Approved rendering: વારસ
Transliteration: vāras
Doctrine: Eternal Life and Inheritance
Original: κληρονόμος
Category: Salvation

Titus 3:7 (κληρονόμοι), the result of justification. Resonant with, though distinct from, the baseline’s adoption (દત્તકપણું) doctrine’s inheritance-rights emphasis.

Trustworthy Saying

Approved rendering: વિશ્વાસપાત્ર વચન
Transliteration: viśvāsapātra vachan
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Original: Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος
Category: Sanctification

Titus 3:8 (Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος), a recurring Pastoral Epistles formula, built on TM’s વિશ્વાસ root. Keep consistent if reused in future Pastoral-Epistle curricula.

Steward

Approved rendering: કારભારી
Transliteration: kārbhārī
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Original: οἰκονόμος
Category: Church

Titus 1:7 (οἰκονόμος). The elder manages God’s household (the church) on God’s behalf, not his own domain.

Blameless

Approved rendering: નિર્દોષ
Transliteration: nirdoṣ
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Original: ἀνέγκλητος
Category: Church

Titus 1:6,7 (ἀνέγκλητος). Absence of valid accusation, not sinless perfection — a qualifying, not perfecting, standard.

Rulers Authorities

Approved rendering: અધિકારીઓ / સત્તાધીશો
Transliteration: adhikārīo / sattādhīśo
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
Original: ἀρχαί / ἐξουσίαι
Category: Church

Titus 3:1 (ἀρχαί/ἐξουσίαι). Civil governing authorities, ordained by God for order — a Romans 13-parallel theme.

Category: Church

Titus 3:1 (πειθαρχεῖν). Compliance with legitimate command, paired with submission.

Rejected alternatives: પ્રભુ — ABSOLUTE FORBIDDEN for this referent

Admonition

Approved rendering: ચેતવણી
Transliteration: chetvaṇī
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Original: νουθεσία
Category: Church

Titus 3:10 (νουθεσία). Structured, patient, but bounded pastoral process given before further disciplinary action.

Servant Of God

Approved rendering: દાસ
Transliteration: dās
Doctrine: Apostolic Authority and Commission
Original: δοῦλος (θεοῦ)
Category: Church

Titus 1:1 (δοῦλος θεοῦ). Paul’s self-designation of total, willing belonging to God, framing all subsequent authority claims as delegated, not self-attained.

Genealogies

Approved rendering: વંશાવળીઓ
Transliteration: vanśāvaḷīo
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Original: γενεαλογίαι
Category: Covenant

Titus 3:9 (γενεαλογίαι). Speculative ancestral disputes tied to legalistic teaching — a negative use of lineage vocabulary, contrasted with the positive covenant use in the baseline’s seed_of_david pattern.

Bondservant Household

Approved rendering: દાસ
Transliteration: dās
Doctrine: Household Ethics and Gospel Witness
Original: δοῦλοι
Category: Church

Titus 2:9-10 (δοῦλοι). Household slaves addressed pastorally in the household code — same Gujarati word as servant_of_god above, distinct social referent recoverable from context.

Pure Chaste

Approved rendering: પવિત્ર ચરિત્ર
Transliteration: pavitra charitra
Doctrine: Household Ethics and Gospel Witness
Original: ἁγναί
Category: Sanctification

Titus 2:5 (ἁγναί). Moral/sexual purity, a household virtue expected of younger women; keep consistent with baseline’s preference for પવિત્ર-root over શુદ્ધ-root wherever a moral (not ritual) sense is meant.

Adorn Teaching

Transliteration: updesh-ne śobhāve
Doctrine: Household Ethics and Gospel Witness
Original: κοσμῶσιν τὴν διδασκαλίαν
Category: Church

Kindness

Approved rendering: ભલાઈ
Transliteration: bhalāī
Doctrine: Mercy and Grace in Salvation

Titus 3:4 (χρηστότης). God’s benevolent disposition initiating salvation, contrasted with human malice in 3:3.

Circumcision Party

Approved rendering: સુન્નતના પક્ષના લોકો
Transliteration: sunnat-nā pakṣ-nā loko
Doctrine: False Teaching and Jewish Myths

Titus 1:10 (οἱ ἐκ τῆς περιτομῆς). Historical-cultural referent to the Judaizing controversy; requires brief background note for readers unfamiliar with OT covenant history.

Commandments Of Men

Approved rendering: માણસોના નિયમો
Transliteration: māṇaso-nā niyamo
Doctrine: False Teaching and Jewish Myths

Pure Defiled Ritual

Approved rendering: શુદ્ધ / અશુદ્ધ
Transliteration: śuddh / aśuddh
Doctrine: False Teaching and Jewish Myths

Titus 1:15 (καθαρὰ / μεμιαμμένοις). One of the rare contextually appropriate uses of શુદ્ધ/અશુદ્ધ, since Paul himself is engaging ritual-purity categories directly to make an inward-moral point — must not be confused with the sanctification/purify vocabulary elsewhere in the book (પવિત્ર કરવું, નિયમહીનતા-adjacent terms).

Disobedient

Approved rendering: અનાજ્ઞાકારી
Transliteration: anāgnākārī
