Comparative Theology

Galatians doctrine	Adjacent Hindu concept	Key difference
Freedom in Christ (स्वतंत्रता)	मोक्ष / मुक्ति — liberation from rebirth	Freedom from law’s condemnation and sin’s bondage through Christ, not escape from a cosmic cycle.
Justification by faith (धर्मी ठहराया जाना)	व्रत/नियम-पालन — merit through ritual observance	Righteousness credited through faith apart from law-keeping, not earned through disciplined religious practice.

Both rows mirror Romans’ Critical/High risk terms but apply against a legalism-shaped error rather than a karma-shaped one — the same vocabulary, a different pastoral target.
