Cross-Reference Analysis
Acts — Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis (Hmong Language Package)
§0. Governing Note
This document extends, and never contradicts, the Romans-baseline TM/registry files and the Acts-specific analysis/07_semantic_analysis.md and analysis/08_core_glossary.md produced earlier in this Phase 1 cycle. All Hmong renderings referenced below are the fixed strings already established in those documents; this file adds no new permanent renderings — it only documents where those renderings recur across Old Testament quotations/allusions and where consistency with the Romans curriculum must be enforced. Any newly-surfaced sensitivity not already flagged in the prior Acts documents is marked [NEW SENSITIVITY] and must be logged for TM-revision review per the escalation rules in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md §9.
Every chapter of Acts (1–28) is reviewed below. Chapters contributing no direct OT quotation or allusion are stated explicitly as “reviewed — no direct OT connection” rather than omitted, per the full-book-coverage mandate.
§1. OT Quotation & Allusion Cross-Reference Matrix (Full-Book, Chapter-by-Chapter)
Acts 1
| OT/NT Source | Type | Theme | Related Character(s) | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Psalm 69:25; Psalm 109:8 (Acts 1:20) | Direct quotation | Judgment on betrayal; apostolic succession | David (psalmist), Judas, Peter | Low. “Raug tso tseg” (be abandoned/forsaken) framing must read as sovereign judicial reversal, not capricious ancestor-spirit curse-language. |
Acts 2 (core passage)
| OT/NT Source | Type | Theme | Related Character(s) | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Joel 2:28-32 (Acts 2:17-21) | Direct quotation | Eschatological, Spirit-democratizing outpouring | Joel, Peter | Critical. The embedded clause “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” is quoted again at Romans 10:13 and Acts 22:16 — see §3 rendering-consistency rule #1. Reuses holy_spirit/Vaj Ntsuj Plig, the High-risk nchuav (pour out) verb, and salvation_save/kev cawm dim. |
| Psalm 16:8-11 (Acts 2:25-28) | Direct quotation | Resurrection hope; incorruption; non-abandonment in death | David, Christ | High. “Hades”/underworld rendering (“tebchaws ntawm cov tuag”) must not be confused with the ancestor-spirit realm of Hmong folk cosmology; see analysis/07_semantic_analysis.md Acts 2:25-28 note. |
| 2 Samuel 7:12-13; Psalm 132:11 (Acts 2:30) | Allusion | Davidic covenant, promised offspring | David, God | Low. Reuses promise/lus cog tseg. |
| Psalm 110:1 (Acts 2:34-35) | Direct quotation | Messianic enthronement, subjugation of enemies | David, Christ, tus Tswv | High. Ties to the adoptionism-guard note on exalted_at_the_right_hand (B32) — Christ’s enthronement must never be read as the moment his deity/Sonship began. |
Acts 3
| OT/NT Source | Type | Theme | Related Character(s) | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exodus 3:6, 3:15 (Acts 3:13) | Allusion | Patriarchal covenant identity | Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob | Low. |
| Isaiah 52:13 (Acts 3:13) | Allusion | Suffering Servant exalted | Isaiah, Christ | Medium. Ties to B29 (servant_of_god_messianic_title, pais), kept distinct from the first-person qhev bondservant confession. |
| Deuteronomy 18:15-19 (Acts 3:22-23) | Direct quotation | Prophet like Moses | Moses, Christ | Medium. Repeats at Acts 7:37 — see rule of consistent rendering below. |
| Genesis 22:18; Genesis 12:3 (Acts 3:25) | Allusion | Abrahamic covenant blessing extended to all nations/peoples | Abraham | Medium. Anchors Doctrine 2 (Gospel to Jews and Gentiles); reuses promise/lus cog tseg and nations_gentiles/lwm Haiv Neeg. |
Acts 4
| OT/NT Source | Type | Theme | Related Character(s) | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Psalm 118:22 (Acts 4:11) | Direct quotation | Rejected stone becomes cornerstone; vindication after rejection | David/psalmist, Christ | Medium. B30 cornerstone_rejected_stone; must be kept lexically distinct in valence from the Romans-baseline stumbling_block entry despite sharing the root “pob zeb” — see §3 rule #2. |
| Psalm 146:6; Exodus 20:11 (Acts 4:24) | Allusion | God as Creator of heaven, earth, sea | — | Low. Reuses creation/tej uas raug tsim los. |
| Psalm 2:1-2 (Acts 4:25-26) | Direct quotation | Rulers rage against the Lord and his Anointed | David, kings/rulers | Medium. Anchors Doctrine 6 (Persecution and Bold Witness); reuses governing_authority root cautiously — here rulers stand in opposition to God, unlike Romans 13’s positive framing; teaching note required to hold both texts together without contradiction. |
Acts 5
No direct OT quotation or allusion. Gamaliel’s speech (Acts 5:34-39) references contemporary historical figures (Theudas, Judas the Galilean), not Scripture. Logged as reviewed — Low.
Acts 6
No direct OT quotation or allusion. Institutional narrative (institution of the Seven). Logged as reviewed — Low.
Acts 7
| OT/NT Source | Type | Theme | Related Character(s) | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Genesis 15:13-14 (Acts 7:6-7) | Allusion | Prophesied sojourn and affliction in Egypt | Abraham | Low. |
| Genesis 37–50 (Acts 7:9-16) | Allusion / Typology | Joseph rejected by brothers, later exalted, becomes deliverer/provider | Joseph | Medium. See §2 typology table — Joseph-Christ typology; also mirrors Israel’s rejection of Jesus (Joseph’s brothers ↔ the nation). |
| Joshua 24:32 (Acts 7:16) | Allusion | Burial of the patriarchs at Shechem | Jacob, Joseph | Low. |
| Exodus 1–4 (Acts 7:17-34) | Allusion / Typology | Moses’ birth, rejection, calling at the burning bush | Moses | Medium. See §2 typology table — Moses-Christ typology (rejected first time, accepted as deliverer second time). |
| Deuteronomy 18:15 (Acts 7:37) | Direct quotation | Prophet like Moses (repeats Acts 3:22-23) | Moses, Christ | Medium. Must be rendered identically to its Acts 3:22-23 occurrence — see §3 rule #3. |
| Exodus 32:1, 32:23 (Acts 7:39-41) | Allusion | Golden calf idolatry | Israel, Aaron | High. Reuses idol/dab mlom. |
| Amos 5:25-27 (Acts 7:42-43) | Direct quotation | Idolatry provokes exile-judgment | Amos, Israel | High. Reuses idol/dab mlom. |
| Isaiah 66:1-2 (Acts 7:49-50) | Direct quotation | God’s throne transcends any built temple | Isaiah, God | Medium. Relevant contrast to the household-altar/shrine veneration common in Hmong traditional religion — true worship is not spatially confined; reuses worship_serve_cultic/pehawm teaching. |
Acts 8
| OT/NT Source | Type | Theme | Related Character(s) | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Isaiah 53:7-8 (Acts 8:32-33) | Direct quotation | Suffering Servant, silent before slaughter | Isaiah, Christ, Ethiopian eunuch | Critical. Ties directly to the Romans-baseline propitiation_atoning_sacrifice entry and to B29 (pais/Servant title); the Hmong rendering of this quotation must use vocabulary compatible with, never contradicting, qhov theej txhoj kev txhaum. |
| Deuteronomy 23:1; Isaiah 56:3-5 (background, not directly quoted) | Thematic allusion | Reversal of eunuch exclusion; outsider inclusion | Ethiopian eunuch | Medium. Comprehension-level note reinforcing Doctrine 2’s boundary-crossing theme; no direct collision, but requires a dignity-affirming teaching gloss. |
Acts 9
No direct OT quotation. Genre-parallel (not citation): prophetic call-narratives — Isaiah 6:1-8, Jeremiah 1:4-10, Ezekiel 1:1–3:15 — share the pattern of a dramatic divine confrontation followed by commissioning, paralleling Saul’s Damascus-road encounter. Low-Medium, literary-pattern note only, not a quotation; relevant to Doctrine 7 (Conversion of Paul).
Acts 10
No direct OT quotation. Strong background allusion to Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 (clean/unclean food laws) — the very system Peter’s vision reinterprets. Critical, ties directly to B12 clean_unclean_food. Thematic echo (not quotation) of Isaiah 49:6/Isaiah 42:6 (“light to the nations”), anticipating the direct quotation at Acts 13:47.
Acts 11
No new OT quotation (Peter’s report to Jerusalem recounts Acts 10). Logged as reviewed — Low, inherits Acts 10’s sensitivities.
Acts 12
No direct OT quotation. Typological/thematic parallel (not citation): Daniel 4 (Nebuchadnezzar’s pride and judgment) and Daniel 5 (Belshazzar) — a proud ruler struck down for failing to give God the glory. Medium, thematic parallel; Character: Herod Agrippa I / Daniel (typological analogue).
Acts 13
| OT/NT Source | Type | Theme | Related Character(s) | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Samuel 13:14; Psalm 89:20 (Acts 13:22) | Allusion | David, a man after God’s own heart | David | Low. |
| Psalm 2:7 (Acts 13:33) | Direct quotation | Divine Sonship declaration | Christ | High. Same adoptionism-guard as Acts 2:33/Acts 2:34-35 (Psalm 110:1) — see §3 rule #7. |
| Isaiah 55:3 (Acts 13:34) | Direct quotation | Sure mercies of David | David, Christ | Medium. Reuses mercy/txoj kev khuv leej, kept lexically distinct from grace/txiaj ntsim per the Romans-baseline note. |
| Psalm 16:10 (Acts 13:35) | Direct quotation | Repeats Acts 2:27 verbatim | David, Christ | Critical. Must be rendered identically to the Acts 2:27 occurrence — see §3 rule #3. |
| Habakkuk 1:5 (Acts 13:41) | Direct quotation | Warning to scoffers | Habakkuk | Medium. Same OT book as the Romans 1:17 anchor verse (Habakkuk 2:4, “the righteous shall live by faith”) — different verse, but the book-level connection is doctrinally significant for Doctrine 8 continuity — see §3 rule #4. |
| Isaiah 49:6 (Acts 13:47) | Direct quotation | Light for the Gentiles; salvation to the ends of the earth | Isaiah, Paul | High. Direct anchor for Doctrine 9 (ends_of_the_earth) and Doctrine 2; reuses nations_gentiles/lwm Haiv Neeg and salvation_save. |
Acts 14
No direct OT quotation. Acts 14:15-17 (natural-revelation speech to the Lystra crowd) thematically parallels Romans 1:19-20 (general revelation through creation) — Medium, thematic parallel requiring rendering-consistency with the Romans-baseline creation/truth entries (§3 rule #8).
Acts 15
| OT/NT Source | Type | Theme | Related Character(s) | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amos 9:11-12 (Acts 15:16-18) | Direct quotation | Rebuilding David’s fallen tent; Gentile inclusion; “the remnant of mankind” seeks the Lord | Amos, James | High. Ties to the Romans-baseline remnant/cov seem entry and to Romans 11’s olive-tree Gentile-inclusion metaphor — see §3 rule #5. Central to Doctrines 2 and 8. |
Acts 16
No direct OT quotation. Logged as reviewed — Low, for the OT/NT-citation purposes of this document. (Note: the “spirit of divination”/pneuma pythōna collision at Acts 16:16 is a live-practice cultural allusion, not a scriptural citation, and is already fully treated as B14 in analysis/08_core_glossary.md; recorded here for cross-reference completeness only.)
Acts 17
| OT/NT Source | Type | Theme | Related Character(s) | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Genesis 1 (Acts 17:24-26) | Allusion | Creator God, maker of the world and everything in it | — | Low. |
| Deuteronomy 32:8 (Acts 17:26) | Allusion | God determines the boundaries and appointed times of nations | — | Medium. |
| Isaiah 42:5 (background) | Allusion | God gives life and breath to all | — | Low. |
| Epimenides / Aratus / Cleanthes (Acts 17:28) | Direct quotation (pagan Greek poets, not OT/NT Scripture) | “In him we live and move and have our being”; “we are his offspring” | Greek poets (not biblical characters) | Medium. [NEW SENSITIVITY] Must be clearly marked in teaching as Paul’s rhetorical bridge-quotation from pagan sources, not scriptural revelation — must not imply that Hmong ancestor/nature-spirit poetry or proverb could function as an equivalent revelatory bridge without the same careful contrast-teaching Paul himself supplies (17:29-31, explicit rejection of idol-craftsmanship theology). |
Acts 18
No direct OT quotation. Logged as reviewed — Low.
Acts 19
No direct OT quotation. Logged as reviewed — Low. (Sons of Sceva and the Ephesian magic-scroll burning are treated fully under B9/B33 in the core glossary; no OT citation involved.)
Acts 20
No direct OT quotation. Acts 20:35 preserves an extra-canonical saying of Jesus (“It is more blessed to give than to receive”) not recorded in any of the four Gospels. [NEW SENSITIVITY, minor] — Low-Medium: teaching note should clarify this is a genuine dominical saying transmitted only here, not a scriptural misquotation; no OT connection.
Acts 21
No direct OT quotation. Agabus’s prophecy (Acts 21:10-11) is a New Testament-era prophetic act, not an OT citation. Logged as reviewed — Low.
Acts 22
No new direct OT quotation (retells Acts 9). “The Righteous One” title (Acts 22:14) echoes Isaiah 53:11 (“the righteous one, my servant, shall justify many”) — Medium [NEW SENSITIVITY]: this Christological title must be kept distinct from the forensic-imputation vocabulary (raug suav tias ncaj ncees) applied to believers; Christ is the Righteous One in a categorically different, ontological sense than believers who are reckoned righteous.
Acts 23
| OT/NT Source | Type | Theme | Related Character(s) | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exodus 22:28 (Acts 23:5) | Direct quotation | ”You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people” | Paul, Moses (as law-giver) | Medium. Ties to the Romans-baseline governing_authority entry (Romans 13:1-7) — see §3 rule #9; consistent respectful-authority framing required even under Paul’s own mistreatment. |
Acts 24
No direct OT quotation. “Hope… resurrection of the dead” (Acts 24:15) echoes Daniel 12:2 thematically — Medium, ties to B31 resurrection_of_the_dead.
Acts 25
No direct OT quotation. Legal-political narrative (Festus, appeal to Caesar). Logged as reviewed — Low.
Acts 26
No direct OT quotation in Paul’s speech proper. Acts 26:23 (“Christ must suffer… first to rise from the dead”) echoes previously-quoted Isaiah 53 and Psalm 16 material thematically — Medium, consistency reminder rather than a new sensitivity.
Acts 27
No direct OT quotation. Shipwreck narrative. Logged as reviewed — Low.
Acts 28
| OT/NT Source | Type | Theme | Related Character(s) | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Isaiah 6:9-10 (Acts 28:26-27) | Direct quotation | Hearing but not understanding; hardened hearts | Isaiah, Paul | High. Direct thematic parallel to Romans 11:8 (a combination of Deuteronomy 29:4 and Isaiah 29:10) and the Romans-baseline hardening/lub siab tawv entry — see §3 rule #6; must preserve the same partial-not-final framing established in the Romans package, anchored to Romans 11:29’s irrevocable calling, never presented as God’s final word on Israel. |
§2. Messianic Typology and Titles Across Acts
| Type/Title | OT Root | Acts Occurrence(s) | Fulfillment Pattern | Translation Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prophet like Moses | Deuteronomy 18:15-19 | Acts 3:22-23; Acts 7:37 | Christ as the final, definitive prophet-deliverer, superior to Moses yet continuous with him | Medium. Reuses law_mosaic_divine root contextually; must not diminish Moses’ own prophetic authority while affirming Christ’s greater fulfillment. |
| Son of David / Davidic King | 2 Samuel 7:12-13; Psalm 89; Psalm 132 | Acts 2:29-36; Acts 13:22-23, 32-37 | Christ’s resurrection is his royal enthronement, fulfilling the covenant promise to David | High. Adoptionism guard mandatory — see §3 rule #7. |
| Suffering Servant | Isaiah 52:13–53:12 | Acts 3:13, 3:26; Acts 4:27, 4:30 (pais); Acts 8:32-33 | Christ’s rejection, silent suffering, and subsequent exaltation | Critical. Anchors both the Romans-baseline propitiation_atoning_sacrifice entry and B29 servant_of_god_messianic_title. |
| The Righteous One | Isaiah 53:11 | Acts 3:14; Acts 7:52; Acts 22:14 | A Christological title distinguishing Christ’s own inherent righteousness from the imputed righteousness granted to believers | Medium. Keep lexically distinct from raug suav tias ncaj ncees (believers’ forensic status). |
| Son of Man | Daniel 7:13-14 | Acts 7:56 | Stephen’s dying vision of the exalted, enthroned Christ | Medium. Kept lexically distinct from Leej Tub ntawm Vajtswv (Son of God) per B28. |
| Cornerstone / Rejected Stone | Psalm 118:22 | Acts 4:11 | Vindication of the rejected one; foundation-stone of the new covenant community | Medium. Positive valence must be taught alongside, and distinguished from, the negative stumbling_block sense. |
| Joseph typology | Genesis 37–50 | Acts 7:9-16 | Rejected by his own brothers, sold into servitude, later exalted and becomes the nations’ deliverer/provider — narratively prefigures both Christ’s rejection-then-exaltation and Israel’s rejection of Jesus (mirrored by Joseph’s brothers) | Medium. Implicit typology; comprehension-level teaching note recommended, no lexical collision. |
| Moses typology | Exodus 1–4 | Acts 7:17-44 | Rejected the first time he came to his own people, accepted the second time as ruler and redeemer (explicit at Acts 7:35) — the apostolic kerygma applies the identical rejected-then-vindicated pattern to Christ | Medium. Reinforces the doctrinal logic behind Israel’s rejection of Jesus (Romans 9-11 background) without requiring new vocabulary. |
| New Exodus / Feast-Calendar Fulfillment | Passover/Exodus narrative; Leviticus 23:15-21 (Feast of Weeks) | Acts 2:1 (Pentecost timing) | The Spirit is poured out on the very feast day marking Israel’s harvest and covenant-renewal calendar, situating the church’s birth within Israel’s redemptive-historical timeline, not apart from it | Medium. Comprehension-level framing; reuses firstfruits/thawj phaus qoob loo from the Romans baseline. |
§3. Parallels to the Romans Curriculum — Mandatory Rendering-Consistency Rules
The following rules govern every case where an Acts passage shares an Old Testament quotation, a doctrinal formula, or a flagged risk term with the Romans Language Package. These rules are binding: any generated content violating them must be treated as a TM-consistency failure under 12_ai_translation_requirements.md §2.3, not a stylistic choice.
-
“Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Joel 2:32). Quoted at Acts 2:21 and echoed at Acts 22:16; quoted at Romans 10:13. The Hmong rendering must, in every occurrence across both curricula, use descriptive phrasing anchored explicitly to
kev ntseeg(faith/believe) +lees paub tias Yexus yog tus Tswv(confessing that Jesus is Lord) +kev cawm dim / cawmanchored toYexus Khetos. The verb hu (ritual soul-calling/spirit-summoning) is permanently forbidden for this clause in both curricula, per the Romans-baseline forbidden-substitution table §3.1, carried forward unchanged. Critical. -
Stone/rock imagery — two valences of “pob zeb.” Psalm 118:22 (Acts 4:11, positive: rejected stone becomes cornerstone) and Isaiah 8:14/28:16 (Romans 9:33, negative: stumbling-stone) must be rendered with lexically distinct Hmong constructions despite sharing the root “pob zeb” — the Acts 4:11 exaltation sense (
pob zeb uas cov kws tsim tsev tsis xaiv, tab sis rov ua tus thawj pob zeb) must never be confused with the Romans-baselinestumbling_blockentry (qhov/pob zeb ua rau dawm ceg). Teach the two together as complementary but opposite valences of the same OT stone-motif. Medium. -
Psalm 16:10 quoted twice within Acts itself (Acts 2:27 and Acts 13:35). Both occurrences must be rendered character-for-character identically in Hmong; any drift between the two instances constitutes an internal-consistency failure, not merely a cross-curriculum one. Critical. The same rule applies to Deuteronomy 18:15, quoted identically at Acts 3:22-23 and Acts 7:37.
-
Habakkuk 1:5 (Acts 13:41) and Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:17) — same prophetic book, adjoining doctrinal weight. Though these are different verses and not a shared quotation, curriculum content connecting the two passages (e.g., a lesson on Doctrine 8) must clearly identify Habakkuk as the shared prophetic source and must render the Romans 1:17 formula
Vajtswv txoj kev ncaj ncees/raug suav tias ncaj nceesexactly as fixed in the Romans TM whenever Acts 13:38-39’s justification-apart-from-Law statement is taught alongside it. Medium-High. -
Amos 9:11-12 (Acts 15:16-18) and Romans 11’s remnant/olive-tree metaphor. Both must consistently use the Romans-baseline
remnant/cov seemrendering, and any teaching pairing Acts 15 with Romans 11 must retain the mandatory illustrative grafting note already required for the Romans-baselinegrafted_olive_treeentry. High. -
Isaiah 6:9-10 (Acts 28:26-27) and the hardening theme (Romans 11:8, combining Deuteronomy 29:4 and Isaiah 29:10). Both must be taught within the same partial-not-final theological frame established in the Romans package: Israel’s hardening is real but not total, not final, and does not cancel God’s irrevocable calling (Romans 11:29). The Hmong
lub siab tawv(hardened heart/liver) idiom must be used consistently in both contexts. Acts 28:26-27 must never be presented as the New Testament’s final verdict superseding Romans 11’s more hopeful framing — the two must be read together. High. -
Psalm 2:7 (Acts 13:33), Psalm 110:1 (Acts 2:34-35), and Romans 1:4 (“declared to be the Son of God in power by the resurrection”). All three enthronement/declaration texts require the identical adoptionism-guard teaching note already fixed for B32 (
exalted_at_the_right_hand) in the Acts core glossary: Christ’s exaltation is a public installation/declaration of an already-existing deity and Sonship, never the moment his Sonship began. This guard must be applied uniformly wherever any of these three texts is taught, in either curriculum. High. -
Acts 14:15-17 (general revelation to the Lystra crowd) and Romans 1:19-20 (general revelation through creation). Both must render “creation”/“created things” with the fixed Romans-baseline
creation/tej uas raug tsim losphrase, and both must be taught as establishing humanity’s inexcusable knowledge of God’s existence and power apart from special revelation — consistent groundwork for Doctrine 2 in Acts and the Original Sin/Universal Guilt doctrine in Romans. Medium. -
Exodus 22:28 (Acts 23:5) and Romans 13:1-7 (governing authorities). Both must consistently use
cov muaj hwjchim kav teb chaws(never barehwjchim) for civil rulers, and both must be taught as instructing respectful submission to delegated, God-ordained civil authority — even though Acts 23:5 shows Paul apologizing for an unintentional breach of this principle under provocation, and Acts 4:25-26/Psalm 2:1-2 shows rulers in active opposition to God. Curriculum content must hold these together without contradiction: authority is to be respected as an institution even when specific rulers act wrongly. Medium-High. -
Isaiah 53:7-8 (Acts 8:32-33) and the Romans-baseline
propitiation_atoning_sacrificeentry (Romans 3:25, hilastērion). Both describe the same single atoning event from different angles (prophetic prediction and doctrinal explanation). The Hmong rendering of the Isaiah 53 quotation in Acts must use vocabulary fully compatible with — and never contradicting —qhov theej txhoj kev txhaum, and both must retain the mandatory once-for-all, non-repeatable teaching note already established in the Romans baseline. Critical.
General rule: Any Old Testament passage quoted in both the Acts and Romans curricula must be translated character-for-character identically in Hmong wherever it recurs. Where the same OT passage is quoted with a different immediate rhetorical purpose in the two books, curriculum content may add a distinguishing teaching clause around the quotation, but must never alter the fixed lexical choices of the quotation itself.
§4. Chapters Logged as Reviewed with No Direct OT Quotation/Allusion
Per the full-book-coverage mandate, the following chapters are explicitly confirmed reviewed and contribute no direct OT quotation or allusion requiring cross-reference treatment beyond what is already noted inline above: Acts 5, 6, 11 (recounts Ch.10 only), 16 (no scriptural citation — see note), 18, 19, 21, 25, 27. All other chapters contain at least one direct quotation, allusion, or typological connection documented in §1 above.
§5. Governing Note
This document, together with analysis/07_semantic_analysis.md and analysis/08_core_glossary.md, constitutes the complete Phase 1 cross-reference layer for the Hmong Acts Language Package. It must be read alongside the Romans-baseline translation_memory.json, bible_term_registry.json, and doctrine_risk_registry.json; nothing in this document authorizes any rendering that departs from those files. Any newly-surfaced sensitivity marked [NEW SENSITIVITY] above must be logged for TM-revision review before being treated as permanent, per the escalation rules in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md §9.
