Romans 13

• Glossary Term

  Justification

  CRITICAL: in ordinary Modern Hebrew, 'hatzdakah' commonly means justifying/rationalizing a decision (a secular excuse-making sense).

  ROM.13.11

• Glossary Term

  Righteousness

  CRITICAL: צְדָקָה (tzedakah) has narrowed in Modern Hebrew to mean specifically 'charity' (a tzedakah box is a charity box).

  ROM.13.11

• Doctrine

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: Jewish thought defaults yeshu'ah toward corporate/national deliverance rather than Paul's individual, present, eternal deliverance from sin.

  ROM.13.11

• Glossary Term

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: shares its root (י-ש-ע) with the name Yeshua itself (Matthew 1:21's 'he will save/yoshia his people' - a real etymological pun worth teaching, not just a risk to manage).
