Doctrine Analysis

Doctrine Analysis — Luke (Hmong Destination Language)

Part A: Doctrine Matrix

The eight doctrines below are identical in name, tier, and routing to assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json. This matrix expands the supporting-passage lists to full-book scope and gives the fuller translation-risk rationale that grounds each tier assignment.

#	Doctrine	Risk	Review Routing	Supporting Passages (full-book)
1	Jesus as Savior for All Nations and All People (Jew and Gentile, Rich and Poor)	High	Human theologian	Luke 2:30-32; 3:6; 3:23-38; 4:25-27; 7:1-10; 8:26-39; 9:51-56; 10:25-37; 17:11-19; 19:1-10; 23:39-43; 24:47

4	Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins	Critical	Human theologian	Luke 3:3-14; 5:20-24; 5:31-32; 7:36-50; 11:4; 13:1-5; 15:1-32; 17:3-4; 18:9-14; 19:1-10; 23:34; 23:39-43; 24:47
5	Prayer and Dependence on God	High	Human theologian	Luke 1:13; 3:21; 5:16; 6:12; 9:18; 9:28-29; 10:38-42; 11:1-13; 12:22-31; 18:1-8; 18:9-14; 19:45-46; 21:36; 22:39-46

Full translation-risk descriptions for each doctrine are unchanged from assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json and are not repeated here; Part B below traces how each doctrine surfaces chapter-by-chapter across the entire book, satisfying the full-book-coverage mandate for chapters not already exhaustively treated in the registry’s risk descriptions.

Part B: Chapter-by-Chapter Coverage Log

Every chapter of Luke (1–24) is logged below. Chapters are never silently skipped; a chapter contributing no new terms or doctrinal weight beyond what is already logged is explicitly marked “Reviewed — no new doctrinal/terminological load” rather than omitted.

Luke 1 — Annunciation, Magnificat, Benedictus

Doctrines active: 2 (Holy Spirit’s Work), 3 (Good News to Poor — Magnificat’s reversal, 1:52-53), 5 (Prayer — Zechariah’s incense-hour prayer, 1:13), 1 (Jesus as Savior — Son of God, Son of David language begins here). Key terms surfaced: Vaj Ntsuj Plig (1:15, 1:35, 1:41, 1:67 — four occurrences before the Gospel narrative even begins); “overshadow” (1:35) as the single highest-stakes incarnation-collision point in the book; Leej Txiv/Leej Tub ntawm Vajtswv; yaj saub (1:67, Zechariah prophesying); lus cog tseg (covenant promise to Abraham, 1:55, 1:72-73). Note: The Magnificat (1:46-55) and Benedictus (1:67-79) are treated as the thematic overture for Doctrines 2 and 3 simultaneously; both must be flagged for theologian review as a paired unit, not lesson-by-lesson in isolation, since 1:35’s overshadowing sets the mandatory-prefix precedent for the entire book.

Luke 2 — Birth, Shepherds, Simeon and Anna, Presentation

Doctrines active: 3 (Good News to Poor — shepherds as the announcement’s first recipients, 2:8-20), 1 (Jesus as Savior for All Nations — Simeon’s “light for revelation to the Gentiles,” 2:32), 6 (Kingdom — “today” marker at 2:11). Key terms: cov pluag (implicit socio-economic status of shepherds); lub thoob rau tsiaj noj (manger); lwm Haiv Neeg (2:32); kev txiav (circumcision, 2:21); lub Tuam Tsev (2:22, 2:27, 2:46). Note: 2:11’s “today” (hnub no) is the first of four occurrences of Luke’s emphatic immediacy marker (cf. 4:21, 19:9, 23:43); must be tracked as a single cross-book teaching thread.

Luke 3 — John the Baptist, Baptism of Jesus, Genealogy to Adam

Doctrines active: 4 (Repentance and Forgiveness — John’s entire preaching ministry, 3:3-14), 2 (Holy Spirit descending in bodily form, 3:22), 1 (Jesus as Savior for All — genealogy traced to Adam, not merely Abraham, 3:23-38). Key terms: kev hloov siab lees txim (repentance, first sustained appearance); kev npau taws ntawm Vajtswv (wrath, 3:7, TM-reuse); Adas (Adam, 3:38 — direct link to the Romans-baseline federal-headship teaching note). Note: 3:23-38’s genealogy is doctrinally load-bearing for Doctrine 1 precisely because Luke (unlike Matthew) extends the line to Adam; this must be explicitly taught alongside the Romans baseline’s Adam-Christ typology entry rather than treated as a bare list of names.

Luke 4 — Temptation, Nazareth Sermon (CORE PASSAGE), Exorcisms, Healings

Doctrines active: All eight converge here to some degree, but centrally: 6 (Kingdom present, 4:43), 3 (Good News to Poor, 4:18), 2 (Holy Spirit anointing, 4:1, 4:14, 4:18), 1 (Jesus as Savior, programmatic self-identification). Key terms: the entire Isaiah 61 quotation (4:18-19) — Vaj Ntsuj Plig, pleev roj tsa (anointed), Txoj Moo Zoo, cov pluag, kev tso dawb (liberty/release, captivity sense), kev zam txim-adjacent aphesis root, hnub no (4:21, second occurrence), lub xyoo uas tus Tswv pom zoo (year of the Lord’s favor); dab ntxwg nyoog (temptation narrative, 4:1-13); dab/dab phem (first exorcism, 4:33-36, 4:41); hwjchim (4:14, 4:32, 4:36). Note: THIS IS THE CORE PASSAGE (4:16-21) for the entire curriculum. Every term in it — especially the double-sense aphesis (forgiveness/liberty) and the anointing/Spirit/kingdom cluster — must receive the most thorough treatment in Phase 2 of any passage in the book, with the 4:18 forbidden-substitution guardrails (no koob hmoov for “favor,” no bare hwjchim) enforced without exception.

Luke 5 — Calling of Disciples, Leper, Paralytic, Levi’s Call, Wineskins

Doctrines active: 7 (Discipleship — miraculous catch and immediate leaving of nets, 5:1-11, 5:27-28), 4 (Forgiveness — paralytic, 5:20-24), 8 (Table Fellowship — calling and dining with Levi, 5:29-32). Key terms: kev zam txim (5:20-24, first narrative enactment of forgiveness after the programmatic announcement in ch. 4); tus sau se (tax collector); tus txhaum (sinner, 5:30, 5:32); koom noj koom haus (5:29-30); mob ruas (leprosy, 5:12-14). Note: 5:20-24’s forgiveness-of-sins-plus-healing pairing is a key teaching unit for Doctrine 4; must not let the physical healing eclipse the forensic forgiveness statement in translation emphasis.

Luke 6 — Sabbath Controversies, Twelve Chosen, Sermon on the Plain

Doctrines active: 3 (Good News to Poor — Beatitudes and Woes, 6:20-26), 7 (Discipleship — persecution blessing, 6:22-23), 5 (background — implicit prayer before choosing the Twelve, cf. 6:12 parallel). Key terms: the unresolved makarios/“blessed” term (6:20-23) flagged in the core glossary — this chapter is its primary occurrence and requires the escalated [TRANSLATOR REVIEW NEEDED] treatment carried forward unchanged; kev hlub (love, 6:27-35); cov pluag (6:20). Note: No new doctrine surfaces here beyond what registry entries 3 and 7 already cover, but this chapter is the single highest-density occurrence of the unresolved Beatitudes term and must not be treated as doctrinally “thin.”

Luke 7 — Centurion’s Servant, Widow of Nain, John’s Question, Sinful Woman

Doctrines active: 1 (Jesus as Savior for All — Gentile centurion’s faith commended above Israel’s, 7:1-10), 8 (Compassion — widow of Nain, 7:11-17; sinful woman’s table scene, 7:36-50), 4 (Forgiveness — 7:47-50). Key terms: khuv leej tu siab (visceral compassion, 7:13); kev ntseeg (centurion’s faith, 7:9); tus txhaum (7:37, 7:39); kev cawm dim/cawm (7:50, “your faith has saved you”). Note: 7:36-50 is a paired Doctrine 4 + Doctrine 8 passage (forgiveness enacted within a table-fellowship scene) and should be cross-referenced in Phase 2 lesson design rather than assigned to only one doctrine.

Luke 8 — Parable of the Sower, Calming the Storm, Gerasene Demoniac, Jairus’ Daughter

Doctrines active: 6 (Kingdom — parable of the sower, 8:4-15, 8:10), 2 (Holy Spirit/demonic-power contrast — Gerasene demoniac, 8:26-39, the book’s most extended exorcism narrative). Key terms: dab / dab phem / dab qias (extensively, 8:27-33 — legion of demons); hwjchim (8:46, “power went out from him”); kev ntseeg (8:48, 8:50); ntsuj plig is NOT used here for the demoniac (correctly reserved for dab vocabulary), a distinction that must be preserved in translation. Note: 8:26-39 (Gerasene demoniac) is flagged in the core glossary as meriting doctrinal-note priority equal to the Romans baseline’s highest-priority terms; it belongs to Doctrine 1 (Gentile territory, Decapolis) as well as Doctrine 2, and this dual doctrinal weight should be logged for Phase 2.

Luke 9 — Feeding of 5000, Peter’s Confession, Transfiguration, Discipleship Sayings

Doctrines active: 7 (Discipleship — “take up your cross,” 9:23-25; the three “follow me” sayings, 9:57-62), 6 (Kingdom — transfiguration anticipating future glory, 9:27-36), 1 (Jesus as Savior — Peter’s confession, 9:20). Key terms: ntoo Khaub Lig (cross, first occurrence, 9:23); raws Yexus qab (follow, 9:23, 9:57-62); tus Tub ntawm Neeg (Son of Man, multiple); the burial/farewell refusals (9:59-62) directly triggering the funeral-duty collision already flagged as High/Critical pastoral risk in Doctrine 7. Note: 9:51-56 (Samaritan village’s rejection, Jesus’ restraint) is a minor but real Doctrine 1 supporting text and has been added to the Part A matrix above.

Luke 10 — Sending of the 72, Woes on Cities, Holy Spirit’s Joy, Good Samaritan, Mary and Martha

Doctrines active: 1 (Jesus as Savior for All — Good Samaritan’s redefinition of neighbor, 10:25-37), 2 (Holy Spirit — Jesus’ Spirit-filled rejoicing, 10:21), 5 (Prayer/dependence — Mary and Martha, 10:38-42), 6 (Kingdom — 10:9-11). Key terms: cov Xamalis (Samaritan); tus nyob ze (neighbor); khuv leej tu siab (10:33, defining marker of the parable); kev thov Vajtswv (implicit, “one thing is necessary,” 10:42). Note: 10:25-37 is the single most culturally load-bearing passage for Doctrine 1’s clan-boundary challenge and must receive dedicated teaching-note treatment distinguishing tus nyob ze from kwv tij.

Luke 11 — The Lord’s Prayer, Beelzebul Controversy, Sign of Jonah, Woes to Pharisees

Doctrines active: 5 (Prayer — the Lord’s Prayer, 11:1-13), 2 (Holy Spirit — 11:13, and the kingdom-power-vs.-demonic-power argument, 11:14-23), 4 (Repentance — sign of Jonah, 11:29-32), 6 (Kingdom — 11:20). Key terms: thov Vajtswv / kev thov Vajtswv (structured teaching unit); mov noj txhua hnub (daily bread); dab (Beelzebul controversy, 11:14-20, a second major exorcism-theology passage); yaj saub (Jonah as prophet-sign, 11:29-32). Note: 11:14-23’s “if I cast out demons by the finger of God” argument is a key supporting text for both Doctrine 2 and Doctrine 6 (kingdom-arrival-through-exorcism) and should be cross-linked in Phase 2.

Luke 12 — Hypocrisy, Blasphemy Against the Spirit, Anxiety, Rich Fool, Household Division

Doctrines active: 2 (Holy Spirit — 12:10, the unforgivable-sin warning, the single highest-stakes Holy-Spirit text in the book), 5 (Prayer/dependence — anxiety teaching, 12:22-31), 7 (Discipleship — household division, 12:51-53). Key terms: Vaj Ntsuj Plig (12:10, 12:12); txhawj xeeb (anxiety); kev sib cais hauv tsev neeg (household division); tus saib xyuas vaj tse (steward, 12:42). Note: 12:10 is explicitly named in the doctrine registry as one of the two uniquely high-stakes Holy Spirit loci in Luke (alongside 1:35); no lesson touching this verse may proceed without the mandatory theologian-review flag.

Luke 13 — Repent or Perish, Sabbath Healing, Mustard Seed and Yeast, Narrow Door

Doctrines active: 4 (Repentance — Galileans/Siloam tower warning, 13:1-5), 6 (Kingdom — mustard seed and yeast parables, 13:18-21). Key terms: kev hloov siab lees txim (13:3, 13:5 — twice-repeated refrain “unless you repent”); lub Nceeg Vaj ntawm Vajtswv (13:18, 13:20); hnub Xanpatau (Sabbath, 13:14-16). Note: No new doctrinal category surfaces; this chapter reinforces Doctrines 4 and 6 already logged. Reviewed — no new terminological load beyond existing entries.

Luke 14 — Sabbath Healing, Banquet Etiquette, Great Banquet Parable, Cost of Discipleship

Doctrines active: 3 (Good News to Poor — invite the poor/crippled/lame/blind, 14:12-24), 7 (Discipleship — counting the cost, hating one’s own life by comparison, carrying one’s cross, 14:25-33), 8 (Table Fellowship — banquet setting throughout). Key terms: koom noj koom haus; cov pluag (14:13, 14:21); ntoo Khaub Lig (14:27); kev txo hwjchim (humility, 14:11 — flagged in the glossary for the embedded hwjchim morpheme, requiring TM-revision confirmation). Note: 14:25-33’s cost-counting sayings (towers, kings going to war) are among the most direct and unmitigated discipleship-cost texts in the book and must not be softened in translation per Doctrine 7’s mandatory preservation rule.

Luke 15 — Lost Sheep, Lost Coin, Prodigal Son

Doctrines active: 4 (Repentance and Forgiveness — the doctrine’s thematic center of gravity for the entire book), 7 (Joy pole of discipleship, 15:5-7, 10, 32). Key terms: kev hloov siab lees txim; kev zam txim; kev zoo siab (joy, three times repeated as refrain); khuv leej tu siab (15:20, the father’s compassion running to meet the son). Note: This chapter is the single most doctrinally dense chapter in the book for Doctrine 4 and must be treated as the anchor teaching unit for repentance-and-forgiveness in any Phase 2 curriculum sequencing, on par with the core passage’s role for Doctrine 3/6.

Luke 16 — Unjust Steward, Rich Man and Lazarus

Doctrines active: 3 (Good News to Poor — the sharpest rich/poor reversal narrative in the book, 16:19-31). Key terms: Mamoos (mammon); chaw nyob ntawm cov tuag uas raug kev txom nyem (Hades); hauv Anplahas caj npab (Abraham’s bosom); tus saib xyuas vaj tse (steward, 16:1-8); ib feem kaum (tithe, 16:18 parallel background). Note: 16:19-31 is flagged in the doctrine registry as one of the two highest-risk unresolved-collision passages in Doctrine 3, given the direct challenge to Hmong ancestor-veneration afterlife cosmology; requires the same escalation level as the Beatitudes’ “blessed” term.

Luke 17 — Forgiveness Teaching, Faith Like a Mustard Seed, Ten Lepers, Kingdom’s Presence

Doctrines active: 4 (Repentance/forgiveness teaching, 17:3-4), 1 (Jesus as Savior for All — the Samaritan leper returns to give thanks, 17:11-19), 6 (Kingdom present — “the kingdom of God is in your midst,” 17:20-21). Key terms: cov Xamalis (second major Samaritan text); mob ruas (leprosy); kev zam txim (17:3-4, forgiveness within community, seven times); lub Nceeg Vaj ntawm Vajtswv (17:20-21). Note: 17:11-19 pairs Doctrine 1 (ethnic inclusion) with Doctrine 4 (implicit thanksgiving-as-response pattern) and should be flagged for cross-doctrine lesson design.

Doctrines active: 5 (Prayer — persistent widow, 18:1-8), 4 (Repentance/Forgiveness — Pharisee and tax collector, 18:9-14, the book’s clearest forensic-justification confirmation), 3 (Good News to Poor — rich young ruler, 18:18-30). Key terms: poj ntsuam (widow); ua kom ncaj ncees / raug suav tias ncaj ncees (18:14, direct TM-reuse from the Romans Justification-by-Faith entry — a cross-book doctrinal confirmation that must be flagged for theologian review with equal weight to its Romans occurrence); tus tsis hwm Vajtswv-type shock (the tax collector’s self-designation as tus txhaum, 18:13). Note: 18:9-14 is explicitly identified in the core glossary as a direct narrative confirmation of the Romans-baseline Justification doctrine (Critical tier there); this cross-book linkage must be preserved and cited in Phase 2 footnoting.

Luke 19 — Zacchaeus, Parable of the Minas, Triumphal Entry, Temple Cleansing

Doctrines active: 1 (Jesus as Savior for All — Zacchaeus, “the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost,” 19:1-10), 8 (Table Fellowship — Jesus dines at Zacchaeus’s house, 19:5-7), 3 (Good News to Poor — Zacchaeus’s restitution to the poor, 19:8). Key terms: tus sau se; kev cawm dim/cawm (19:9-10, anchored explicitly to tus Tub ntawm Neeg); hnub no (19:9, third occurrence of the immediacy marker); Koob hmoov nyob rau … (triumphal-entry acclamation, 19:38, the distinct eulogeō “blessed” term flagged separately from the Beatitudes term in the glossary). Note: 19:1-10 is the single richest convergence passage for Doctrines 1, 3, and 8 simultaneously and should anchor a dedicated multi-doctrine lesson unit in Phase 2.

Luke 20 — Authority Questioned, Wicked Tenants, Taxes to Caesar, Resurrection Debate

Doctrines active: 6 (Kingdom — the resurrection debate with the Sadducees, 20:27-40, the book’s first extended doctrinal resurrection argument). Key terms: kev sawv hauv qhov tuag rov qab los (resurrection, first sustained doctrinal usage); daim teb txiv hmab (vineyard); duab (image, taxes to Caesar); tus qhia Txoj Kevcai (scribes/lawyers). Note: 20:27-40’s resurrection argument must be taught jointly with the ch. 24 resurrection-appearance narratives as a single doctrinal unit, per Doctrine 6’s mandatory preservation rule distinguishing bodily resurrection from continuing-soul folk belief.

Luke 21 — Olivet Discourse, Widow’s Mite

Doctrines active: 6 (Kingdom future — signs and the Son of Man’s coming, 21:27-31), 3 (Good News to Poor — widow’s mite, 21:1-4), 5 (Prayer/watchfulness — 21:36). Key terms: poj ntsuam (widow, second major occurrence); ceev faj (watchful); kev ua siab ntev (endurance, TM-reuse); tus Tub ntawm Neeg (21:27, 21:36). Note: No new doctrinal category surfaces; reinforces Doctrines 6, 3, and 5. Reviewed — no new terminological load beyond existing entries.

Luke 22 — Last Supper, Gethsemane, Betrayal, Arrest

Doctrines active: 4 (Repentance/Forgiveness — new covenant in Christ’s blood, 22:20), 5 (Prayer — Gethsemane’s “not my will but yours,” 22:39-46), 6 (Kingdom — 22:16-18, the kingdom-banquet anticipation). Key terms: kev cog lus tshiab hauv (kuv) cov ntshav (new covenant in blood — flagged Critical for its blood-offering/appeasement-ritual collision risk); Vajtswv lub siab nyiam (22:42, TM-reuse, the supreme model instance of submission to God’s will); hwjchim (22:53, “this is your hour, and the power of darkness”). Note: 22:39-46 is the doctrine registry’s supreme model instance for Doctrine 5 and must be taught with full weight given to Jesus’ own submissive dependence, not merely as background narrative before the crucifixion.

Luke 23 — Trial, Crucifixion, Death, Burial

Doctrines active: 4 (Repentance/Forgiveness — “Father, forgive them,” 23:34; the repentant criminal promised paradise, 23:39-43), 1 (Jesus as Savior for All — the criminal’s inclusion despite having no opportunity for ritual restitution). Key terms: kev zam txim (23:34, forgiveness extended prior to any confessed repentance by the executioners — a doctrinally sensitive instance requiring careful teaching per the doctrine registry’s note); lub Vaj Kaj Siab (paradise, 23:43); hnub no (23:43, fourth occurrence of the immediacy marker). Note: 23:34 and 23:43 together form the doctrine registry’s clearest textual challenge to a strictly transactional apology-then-pardon model of forgiveness and must be flagged as a paired teaching unit.

Luke 24 — Resurrection Appearances, Emmaus Road, Ghost vs. Flesh-and-Bones, Great Commission, Ascension

Doctrines active: 6 (Kingdom — bodily resurrection as consummation-preview, 24:1-43), 2 (Holy Spirit — “power from on high,” 24:49), 1 (Jesus as Savior for All Nations — the Great Commission’s explicit “to all nations,” 24:47), 4 (Repentance and Forgiveness — 24:47, repentance/forgiveness proclaimed to all nations as the commissioning content). Key terms: ntsuj plig (24:37, the negated “ghost” reading, deliberately contrasted with cev nqaij tawv thiab pob txha, flesh and bones, 24:39 — the single most doctrinally sensitive terminological pairing in the entire book); kev sawv hauv qhov tuag rov qab los; Vaj Lug Kub (24:27, 24:44-45, fulfillment of Scripture); Vajtswv hwjchim saum ntuj lo / Leej Txiv tej lus cog tseg (24:49, composite TM-reuse bridging directly to Acts); lwm Haiv Neeg (24:47). Note: Chapter 24 is the doctrinal capstone of the book, converging Doctrines 1, 2, 4, and 6 in its final twenty verses; the ghost-vs.-flesh-and-bones contrast (24:36-43) is identified across both this analysis and the core glossary as the single highest-priority collision point in all of Luke and must receive theologian-level review with no automated-review bypass under any circumstance.

Coverage Summary

All 24 chapters of Luke have been reviewed. Twenty-two chapters contribute either new terminology or new doctrinal-application evidence beyond the doctrine registry’s base risk descriptions; chapters 13 and 21 are explicitly logged as reinforcing existing doctrinal categories without introducing new terms requiring separate TM entries, consistent with the full-book-coverage mandate’s requirement that “thin” chapters be noted rather than silently omitted. No chapter of Luke was skipped in this analysis.
