Cross-Reference Analysis
2 Corinthians — Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis (Hmong Language Package)
0. Method and Citation Convention
Citation format for this analysis document: Standard, normalizable English book-chapter:verse citations (e.g., 2 Corinthians 5:21, Genesis 15:6, Isaiah 49:8) are used throughout this internal analysis artifact, since it cross-references source-language Scripture across two Testaments and across curricula. This is distinct from the destination-language citation convention fixed in analysis/12_ai_translation_requirements.md §7 (Loos [chapter]:[verse]), which governs only Hmong-language curriculum output text, not internal Phase 1 analysis documents. When any cross-reference below is eventually rendered into a Hmong lesson, footnote, or quiz, it must be re-cited using the Loos/equivalent book-name convention per §7 of that document (2 Corinthians’s own citation convention is addressed in analysis/12_ai_translation_requirements.md for this curriculum, to be finalized in Phase 2).
Scope: Every chapter of 2 Corinthians (1–13) is reviewed below for (a) direct Old Testament quotations, (b) Old Testament allusions and typological echoes, (c) messianic references, and (d) parallels to the Romans Hmong Language Package baseline, with explicit rendering-consistency rules where the same Hmong Translation Memory (TM) term, doctrine, or underlying Greek/Hebrew concept recurs across both curricula.
1. Direct Old Testament Quotations
| # | 2 Corinthians Passage | OT Source | Theme | Related Character(s) | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 Corinthians 4:13 | Psalm 116:10 | Sincerity and Apostolic Authority; the persevering “spirit of faith” behind sincere proclamation | Paul (speaker); the Psalmist (typological voice) | Reuse baseline kev ntseeg (faith) exactly; the quotation formula (“according to what is written”) should be rendered with the baseline Vaj Lug Kub (Scripture) term, consistent with Romans’ citation practice for OT quotations. Low risk. |
| 2 | 2 Corinthians 6:2 | Isaiah 49:8 | Reconciliation with God; urgency of the gospel appeal | The Servant of the Lord (Isaiah’s Servant figure, typologically Christ); Paul as herald | High risk — reuses baseline kev cawm dim (“day of salvation”), which must remain anchored to Yexus Khetos per the mandatory qualifier rule; the Servant-Song background (see §3 below) should be surfaced in teaching notes as messianic typology fulfilled in Christ’s “acceptable time.” |
| 3 | 2 Corinthians 6:16 | Leviticus 26:11-12; Ezekiel 37:27 | The New Covenant versus the Old (holiness/indwelling presence) | God as covenant-dwelling presence among His people | Critical risk — this quotation directly underlies the new term lub tuam tsev ntawm Vajtswv uas muaj txoj sia nyog (temple of the living God, High risk per 08_core_glossary.md #72); the OT covenant-formula (“I will dwell… I will be their God”) must be taught as the theological ground for the church-as-temple metaphor, not an isolated NT image. |
| 4 | 2 Corinthians 6:17 | Isaiah 52:11 | The New Covenant versus the Old (separation/holiness) | Exiles called to leave Babylon (typological pattern for the church’s call to separation from idolatry) | High risk — pairs directly with baseline dab mlom (idol, High risk, 6:16). See §4 Romans-parallel note: Isaiah 52 is also the source chapter for Romans 15:21 (Isaiah 52:15); recommend consistent elevated register for both occurrences of Isaiah 52 material across the two curricula. |
| 5 | 2 Corinthians 6:18 | 2 Samuel 7:14; Isaiah 43:6 | Reconciliation with God (sonship); extends baseline adoption_as_sons | David (recipient of the original Davidic covenant sonship promise); believers, “sons and daughters” | Medium risk — reuse baseline raug muab coj los ua me tub (ntawm Vajtswv) exactly; note the explicit “and daughters” (θυγατέρας) extension beyond the Romans baseline’s male-coded “sons” language — flag as an inclusive-language teaching note, not a lexical change to the fixed TM phrase. |
| 6 | 2 Corinthians 8:15 | Exodus 16:18 | Generosity and Grace in Giving (equality) | The wilderness generation gathering manna; Moses | Low-Medium risk — new term kev sib npaug (equality); strong agrarian/subsistence-provision bridge for a Hmong audience; the manna narrative itself may need a brief explanatory gloss (unfamiliar wilderness-provision referent) but carries no traditional-religion collision. |
| 7 | 2 Corinthians 9:9 | Psalm 112:9 | Generosity and Grace in Giving; extends baseline righteousness_of_god_righteous | The righteous, generous man of the Psalm (typological pattern for the Christian giver) | Critical risk — reuses baseline Vajtswv txoj kev ncaj ncees exactly; must NOT be taught as “giving earns righteousness” (works-righteousness drift) — the Psalm quotation describes the fruit of a righteous life already reckoned by grace, not its ground. Cross-reference the Critical preservation rule for Doctrine 1 (Justification by Faith) inherited from the Romans baseline. |
| 8 | 2 Corinthians 10:17 | Jeremiah 9:23-24 | Genuine versus False Apostleship; Sincerity and Apostolic Authority | Jeremiah (prophetic voice); the “wise,” “mighty,” and “rich” who are told not to boast in themselves | Low risk — reuse baseline kev khav theeb exactly. See §4 Romans-parallel note: the identical prophetic source (Jeremiah 9:23-24) underlies Paul’s boasting-theology across both letters (Romans 3:27; 4:2; 11:18 redirect boasting away from self). |
| 9 | 2 Corinthians 13:1 | Deuteronomy 19:15 | Sincerity and Apostolic Authority (legitimate process for establishing a charge) | Moses (lawgiver); the “two or three witnesses” of Israelite legal procedure | Low risk — reuse baseline tus timkhawv (witness); extend to the plural legal-testimony formula ob peb tus timkhawv for this verse specifically; comprehension-level bridge via the baseline’s existing legal-idiom strategy (cf. baseline no_condemnation, village-court judgment concept). |
2. Old Testament Allusions and Typological Echoes (Non-Quotation)
| # | 2 Corinthians Passage | OT Source/Background | Theme | Related Character(s) | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 2 Corinthians 1:3 | Exodus 34:6 (“merciful and gracious God”) | Suffering and Comfort in Ministry | God as “Father of mercies” | Medium risk — reuses baseline mercy (txoj kev khuv leej), kept distinct from grace per the baseline’s explicit doctrinal separation of the two terms. |
| 11 | 2 Corinthians 2:14-16 | Genesis 8:21 (Noah’s “pleasing aroma”); Leviticus 1:9 and passim (sacrificial pleasing-aroma formula) | Sincerity and Apostolic Authority | Noah (typological pattern for an offering pleasing to God) | Medium-High risk — new term tsw qab ntawm Khetos (fragrance of Christ); adjacent to the sacrificial-offering domain already flagged High risk in the baseline (living_sacrifice, fij vocabulary); must be taught strictly as a missional metaphor for gospel proclamation’s effect, never as a literal or repeatable offering. |
| 12 | 2 Corinthians 3:3 | Exodus 31:18 (stone tablets); Jeremiah 31:33; Ezekiel 11:19; Ezekiel 36:26 (heart of flesh, law written on the heart) | The New Covenant versus the Old | Moses (giver of the stone tablets); the prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel (heralds of the promised heart-inscribed law) | High risk — direct background for the New Covenant doctrine’s keystone image. See §4 Romans-parallel note: Romans 2:15 (“the law written on their hearts,” of Gentiles) draws on the identical Jeremiah/Ezekiel background without quoting it; rendering consistency for “written on the heart” (sau rau hauv lub siab) should be maintained across both curricula’s teaching notes. |
| 13 | 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 | Exodus 34:29-35 (Moses’ veiled, fading-glory face) | The New Covenant versus the Old | Moses | High risk — extended narrative typology underlying the new veil term (daim ntaub npog, Medium risk) and the New Covenant’s “glory to glory” contrast; Moses functions typologically as the old-covenant mediator whose partial, fading glory is surpassed by Christ’s permanent glory. |
| 14 | 2 Corinthians 4:6 | Genesis 1:3 (“Let there be light”) | New Creation in Christ | God as Creator | Low-Medium risk — reuses the baseline creation root (tej uas raug tsim los); establishes the creation-typology foundation for the “new creation” doctrine at 5:17 — the God who spoke light into the first creation is the same God who shines gospel light into hearts, prefiguring the new-creation motif. |
| 15 | 2 Corinthians 5:17 | Isaiah 43:18-19; Isaiah 65:17 (new things, new heavens and new earth) | New Creation in Christ | — (eschatological/cosmic scope) | Critical risk — direct background for the Critical-risk new creation term (tus/tej raug tsim dua ua tus tshiab); must be taught as the inbreaking of Isaiah’s promised eschatological newness, not a restoration of a prior state (contrast with shamanic soul-restoration concepts already flagged in 07_semantic_analysis.md). |
| 16 | 2 Corinthians 5:21 | Isaiah 53:4-6, 9, 12 (the Suffering Servant, sinless, bearing others’ sin) | Reconciliation with God | The Suffering Servant (Isaiah’s figure, fulfilled typologically in Christ) | Critical risk — the single highest-stakes background reference in the book; underlies the Critical-risk Vajtswv muab nws suav tias yog tus ris kev txhaum rendering. See §4 Romans-parallel note: this typology parallels the baseline’s Critical-risk propitiation_atoning_sacrifice (hilastērion, Romans 3:25) and Romans 4:25/5:6-8’s substitutionary-death language — the same Isaiah 53 background undergirds both letters’ atonement theology and must be taught as one continuous doctrine, not two unrelated images. |
| 17 | 2 Corinthians 6:14 | Deuteronomy 22:10; Leviticus 19:19 (prohibition on yoking mismatched animals) | The New Covenant versus the Old; Genuine versus False Apostleship | — (agricultural law imagery) | Medium risk — new term koom nkoj ua ke tsis sib xws; must carry the baseline’s mandatory Law qualifier awareness (Txoj Kevcai ntawm Vajtswv/Mauxes) when the underlying Mosaic legal background is taught, since the image is drawn directly from Torah agricultural law. |
| 18 | 2 Corinthians 7:6 | Isaiah 40:1; Isaiah 49:13 (“Comfort, comfort my people”) | Suffering and Comfort in Ministry | God as Comforter; Isaiah (prophetic voice of comfort to exiles) | Medium risk — reinforces the new kev nplig siab (comfort) term’s theological depth: God’s comfort of Paul echoes His covenant promise to comfort exiled Israel, not mere generic condolence. |
| 19 | 2 Corinthians 8:9 | (NT parallel, not OT) Philippians 2:6-8 — Christ’s self-emptying | Generosity and Grace in Giving; Power in Weakness | Christ | Critical risk (via baseline grace) — Christ’s voluntary poverty is the theological ground of Christian generosity; reuse baseline txiaj ntsim exactly, never merit-based framing. |
| 20 | 2 Corinthians 9:10 | Isaiah 55:10; Hosea 10:12 (sowing/bread imagery) | Generosity and Grace in Giving | — (agricultural imagery) | Low risk — reuses new cog qoob loo/hlais qoob loo (sowing/reaping) terms; strong agrarian bridge, comparable to the baseline’s firstfruits rice-harvest anchor. |
| 21 | 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 | Prophetic warfare/stronghold idiom generally (cf. Isaiah 2; Ezekiel; no single verse quoted) | Power in Weakness | — | Medium risk — new terms cuab yeej ua rog (weapons) and chaw ruaj khov (strongholds); must retain the mandatory Vajtswv hwjchim qualifier per baseline power entry when describing divine, not merely military, might. |
| 22 | 2 Corinthians 11:3 | Genesis 3:1-6, 13 (the serpent deceiving Eve) | Genuine versus False Apostleship | The serpent; Eve | High risk — direct link to the primeval fall narrative underlying the baseline’s High-risk original_sin_adam_christ_typology entry. The forbidden-substitution rule in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md §3.1 (never render “deceived”/“sin entered” with nkag, the spirit-possession verb) must be observed here as well, to avoid suggesting demonic infestation rather than deception by cunning argument. |
| 23 | 2 Corinthians 11:14 | Genesis 3:1-5 (serpent’s deceptive appearance, background); cf. Job 1-2 (Satan as accuser figure) | Genuine versus False Apostleship | Satan disguised as “an angel of light” | High risk — reuses the Xatas term (High risk, ch.2/11/12 baseline glossary entry #49/86); risk of assimilation into generic Hmong trickster-spirit (dab) folklore unless explicitly taught as Satan’s specific counterfeit strategy against gospel truth. |
| 24 | 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 | Genesis 2:8-10 (paradise/garden); Ezekiel 1; Daniel 7:9-10 (apocalyptic ascent-vision background) | Power in Weakness | Paul (visionary); the unnamed “man” of the vision (Paul himself, veiled in third person) | Low-Medium risk — new terms thib peb lub ntuj/lub Vaj Paladaiso; must be distinguished from any generic Hmong ancestral-afterlife realm concept, since this is a specific, unique visionary experience, not a general afterlife destination. |
| 25 | 2 Corinthians 12:7 | Job 2:7 (Satan afflicting Job with physical suffering); Numbers 33:55; Ezekiel 28:24 (“thorns” idiom for persistent affliction) | Power in Weakness | Job (typological pattern for a righteous sufferer under satanic affliction permitted by God); Satan | High risk — reuses Xatas (High) and new tus tub txib ntawm Xatas (messenger of Satan, High); the Job background is a valuable teaching bridge (a righteous man’s suffering under divine permission, not divine abandonment) but must not be flattened into generic misfortune-explanation folklore. |
| 26 | 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 / 13:1-3 | Deuteronomy 13:1-5; Deuteronomy 18:20-22 (tests for distinguishing true from false prophets) | Genuine versus False Apostleship | Moses (lawgiver establishing the test); false prophets/false apostles (typological continuity) | High risk — background legal-theological pattern for the whole doctrine of Genuine versus False Apostleship; recommend surfacing this OT prophetic-testing framework explicitly in teaching notes as the deep background for Paul’s self-defense and his call to “examine yourselves” (13:5). |
| 27 | 2 Corinthians 13:11 | Numbers 6:24-26 (Aaronic priestly blessing pattern) | (closing benediction, cross-cutting) | Aaron (typological pattern for the closing blessing form) | Low risk — background pattern for the closing greeting; no direct quotation, comprehension-level note only. |
3. Messianic References and Typology (Summary)
| # | 2 Corinthians Passage | Messianic/Typological Content | OT Background | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 | 2 Corinthians 1:20 | Christ as the “Yes” fulfilling every divine promise | The whole OT promise-tradition (cf. baseline promise, lus cog tseg) | Low-Medium risk — reuses baseline lus cog tseg exactly; teach as the christological climax of all covenant promises, paralleling Romans 15:8’s “Christ became a servant… to confirm the promises.” |
| 29 | 2 Corinthians 3:14-16 | Christ as the one in whom the Mosaic veil is removed; Moses’ ministry surpassed | Exodus 34 (Moses); Isaiah’s new-covenant hope | High risk — Christ fulfills and exceeds the Mosaic mediatorial role; must not diminish Moses’ genuine covenant status while still teaching Christ’s surpassing glory. |
| 30 | 2 Corinthians 4:4 | Christ as “the image of God” (εἰκών) | Genesis 1:26-27 (humanity made in God’s image) | Medium risk — new term tus duab ntawm Vajtswv/Khetos; Christ is the perfect, undistorted image that fallen humanity’s image-bearing only partially reflects; must be kept lexically distinct from dab mlom (idol). |
| 31 | 2 Corinthians 5:19 | ”God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself” — Christ as the locus of God’s own reconciling action | Whole-OT reconciliation trajectory (sacrificial system, prophetic promises of restored covenant relationship) | Critical risk — core passage keystone; reuse baseline kev sib haum xeeb (nrog Vajtswv) exactly with mandatory God-ward anchor. |
| 32 | 2 Corinthians 5:21 | Christ as sinless sin-bearer, “made sin” for believers | Isaiah 53 (Suffering Servant); Levitical sin-offering typology (background to baseline hilastērion, Romans 3:25) | Critical risk — the single most theologically dense clause in the book; see §1 entry 16 above. |
| 33 | 2 Corinthians 5:20 | Apostles as Christ’s ambassadors, His delegated representatives | OT prophetic/royal-envoy pattern (messengers sent with a king’s full authority, e.g., 2 Samuel 10:1-4 envoys; broader ANE diplomatic-envoy convention) | Medium risk — new term tus sawv cev (ntawm Khetos); bridges to the existing Hmong clan-representative role already used for baseline apostle. |
| 34 | 2 Corinthians 6:2 | The Servant’s “acceptable time”/“day of salvation” fulfilled in the gospel era | Isaiah 49:8 (Servant Song) | High risk — see §1 entry 2 above. |
| 35 | 2 Corinthians 8:9 | Christ’s voluntary self-impoverishment for others’ enrichment | (NT-internal, echoing OT wisdom/royal-humility motifs, e.g. Isaiah 53:3’s “no beauty that we should desire him”) | Critical risk (via grace) — see §2 entry 19 above. |
4. Cross-Curriculum Parallels to Romans — Rendering-Consistency Rules
The following table identifies passages, terms, or quotations where 2 Corinthians substantively parallels content already fixed in the Romans Hmong Language Package baseline. Rule of primacy: in every row below, the Romans-baseline rendering governs; 2 Corinthians must reuse it exactly, extending only where the semantic analysis (07_semantic_analysis.md) has explicitly documented a new sense requiring a distinct periphrasis.
| # | 2 Corinthians Passage | Romans Parallel Passage | Shared Term/Concept | Rendering-Consistency Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 36 | 2 Corinthians 5:19, 21 | Romans 4:3-8 (quoting Genesis 15:6); Romans 4:22-25 | λογίζομαι — reckon/impute | Reuse baseline Critical-risk suav / suav tias exactly. 2 Corinthians extends the identical verb to (a) sins not counted against the world (5:19, negative application) and (b) Christ himself reckoned as sin-bearer (5:21, reverse application). This must be taught as one single forensic-accounting logic operating in three directions across the two letters — never as three unrelated verbs. |
| 37 | 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 | Romans 5:12-19 | Adam/Christ federal representation | Reuse baseline High-risk original_sin_adam_christ_typology framework. 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 (“one died for all… all died”) is the positive mirror-image of Romans 5’s “one man’s sin brought death to all” — continuous single doctrine of representative/federal headship, now shown to run through Christ as well as through Adam. |
| 38 | 2 Corinthians 5:17, 21; 13:5 | Romans 6:11, 23; 8:1, 39; 12:5 | ἐν Χριστῷ — in-Christ union formula | Reuse baseline High-risk nyob hauv Khetos exactly, with mandatory co-text anchoring to union with Christ’s death/resurrection. The new 2 Corinthians 13:5 formula “Christ in you” (Khetos nyob hauv koj) is the reciprocal indwelling direction of the identical union reality and must be explicitly taught as complementary, never as a separate or lesser doctrine, nor conflated lexically with the fixed nyob hauv Khetos phrase. |
| 39 | 2 Corinthians 3:3 | Romans 2:15 | Law written on the heart | Both texts draw on the same Jeremiah 31:33/Ezekiel 36:26 background without direct quotation in Romans and by echo in 2 Corinthians. Ensure the descriptive phrase sau rau hauv lub siab (“written on the heart”) is used consistently in teaching notes for both curricula. |
| 40 | 2 Corinthians 3:6, 14 (letter/Spirit, covenant) | Romans 7:6 (serving in newness of the Spirit, not the oldness of the letter); Romans 11:27 (quoting Isaiah 59:21, which contains διαθήκη, “covenant,” in the Greek text Paul quotes) | γράμμα/πνεῦμα contrast; διαθήκη (covenant) | Flag for TM-revision cross-check: Romans 11:27 already contains an occurrence of διαθήκη within its Isaiah 59:21 quotation, but the Romans baseline TM never assigned it a dedicated entry. 2 Corinthians 3 now requires a full covenant TM entry (08_core_glossary.md #53, tej lus cog tseg tshiab / qub). Before this becomes permanent, confirm retroactively that any existing Hmong rendering of Romans 11:27 is compatible with this new covenant phrase, and update the Romans TM with a formal covenant entry cross-referencing both letters’ usage. |
| 41 | 2 Corinthians 4:6 | Romans 1:20 | κτίσις (creation) root | Both anchor to baseline tej uas raug tsim los. The new 2 Corinthians 5:17 new creation term is built transparently on this same root, per the established derivation convention (cf. baseline’s sanctification, redemption derivation pattern). |
| 42 | 2 Corinthians 6:2 | Romans 10:13 (quoting Joel 2:32); Romans 13:11 | Urgency of salvation | Reuse baseline High-risk kev cawm dim, always anchored to Yexus Khetos. Maintain the same urgent, time-sensitive register Paul uses in both letters (“now is the acceptable time,” “salvation is nearer now”). |
| 43 | 2 Corinthians 6:17 | Romans 15:21 (quoting Isaiah 52:15) | Shared Isaianic source chapter (Isaiah 52) | Though different verses within the same prophetic oracle are quoted in each letter, recommend the same elevated poetic/formal register for any Hmong rendering of Isaiah 52 material across both curricula, for stylistic and theological consistency. |
| 44 | 2 Corinthians 6:18 | Romans 8:14-17; Romans 9:4 | Adoption/sonship (υἱοθεσία family) | Reuse baseline Medium-risk raug muab coj los ua me tub (ntawm Vajtswv) exactly. 2 Corinthians 6:18 explicitly extends the formula to “sons and daughters” — log this as an inclusive-language teaching note, not a change to the fixed TM phrase itself. |
| 45 | 2 Corinthians 10:17 | Romans 3:27; 4:2; 11:18 | Boasting redirected to the Lord (Jeremiah 9:23-24 background) | Reuse baseline Low-risk kev khav theeb exactly. Both letters draw on the identical prophetic source; teach as one continuous Pauline theme of excluded self-boasting. |
| 46 | 2 Corinthians 5:7 | Romans 1:17 (quoting Habakkuk 2:4) | Faith as the mode of present existence (“walk by faith”) | Reuse baseline Medium-risk kev ntseeg exactly. Both texts trace to the same Habakkuk-rooted Pauline theology; the phrase “not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7) is a natural extension, not a competing doctrine. |
| 47 | 2 Corinthians 4:7-12; 12:9-10 | Romans 1:16 (gospel as the power of God); Romans 8:26 (the Spirit helps us in our weakness) | δύναμις/ἀσθένεια — power/weakness paradox | Reuse baseline High-risk hwjchim, always qualified Vajtswv hwjchim. The new astheneia (weakness) vocabulary must be taught as the deliberate Pauline paradox already seeded in Romans 8:26; this cross-reference should anchor the Power in Weakness doctrine’s counter-cultural claim against Hmong honor-culture strength norms. |
| 48 | 2 Corinthians 1:22; 5:5 | Romans 8:23 (firstfruits of the Spirit) | Spirit as present guarantee of future glory | The new arrabōn (guarantee/down payment) term and the baseline firstfruits entry describe the same reality through two different economic/agricultural metaphors; cross-reference both in teaching notes, and retain the mandatory Vaj Ntsuj Plig referent in both. |
| 49 | 2 Corinthians 11:3 | Romans 5:12-14 | Sin’s entry through primeval deception (Genesis 3 background) | Both trace to Genesis 3. The forbidden-substitution rule already fixed in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md §3.1 (never render “sin entered”/“deceived” with nkag, the spirit-possession verb) applies equally here, to avoid a demonic-infestation misreading of the serpent’s deception of Eve. |
| 50 | 2 Corinthians 13:1 | (baseline witness, Romans 1:9) | Legal-witness idiom | Reuse baseline Low-risk tus timkhawv; extend to the plural legal-testimony formula ob peb tus timkhawv for 2 Corinthians 13:1, consistent with the baseline’s existing legal-idiom bridging strategy (cf. baseline no_condemnation, village-court judgment concept). |
| 51 | 2 Corinthians 6:16-18 | Romans 1:23, 25 (idolatry: exchanging God’s glory for images) | Idolatry contrast | Reuse baseline High-risk dab mlom exactly. Both letters treat idolatry as the fundamental covenant-breaking act; the pairing of dab mlom with lub tuam tsev ntawm Vajtswv uas muaj txoj sia nyob (temple of the living God) at 6:16 is a major doctrinal-collision hotspot requiring the same rigor already established for idolatry teaching in the Romans package. |

6. Governing Note
This cross-reference analysis is a Phase 1 artifact. All rendering-consistency rules in §4 are recommendations for the eventual Phase 2 TM-revision review of the 2 Corinthians Language Package and must not be treated as already-enacted changes to the Romans baseline TM (assets/translation_memory.json), which remains the authoritative, unmodified language-package anchor per the hard rules governing this pipeline. Item #40 (the Isaiah 59:21/Romans 11:27 covenant flag) in particular requires a formal cross-curriculum TM-revision ticket before either curriculum’s covenant vocabulary is finalized for publication.
