Chapter-by-Chapter Doctrine Matrix
1 Corinthians 1 — Greeting, Factions, the Cross
| Doctrine | Supporting Passages (this book) | Risk | Translation Risk | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gospel | 1:17-18 | High | Reused from Romans baseline; “evangélium” must retain its specific-proclamation force even when Paul contrasts it rhetorically with “words of wisdom.” | Human theologian |
| Grace | 1:4 | Critical | Opening thanksgiving frames the whole letter under unmerited favor; must not be read as reward for the Corinthians’ (considerable) spiritual giftedness. | Human theologian |
| Divine Calling | 1:1-2, 1:9, 1:24, 1:26 | High | Multiple calling-senses cluster in one chapter (apostolic calling v.1, calling to fellowship v.9, effectual calling v.24,26); each must be disambiguated by context, not collapsed into one systematic reading. | Human theologian |
| Sainthood (Called to be Holy) | 1:2 | High | ”Szentek” repeats Romans 1:7’s corporate address; requires the mandatory all-believers clarifying note. | Human theologian |
| Sanctification | 1:2, 1:30 | High | ”Krisztus Jézusban… megszentelődés” (1:30) lists sanctification alongside wisdom, righteousness, and redemption as things “in Christ,” not as a separate merit-based process. | Human theologian |
| Christian Unity versus Factionalism | 1:10-13 | High | Named party slogans (“I follow Paul/Apollos/Cephas”) risk being mapped onto the Catholic-Reformed divide; must be rendered as intra-congregational partisanship, not a verdict on denominational legitimacy. | Human theologian |
| The Cross as Wisdom and Power | 1:18-25, 1:27-31 | High | Paul’s rhetorical paradox (wisdom as folly, weakness as power) must not be smoothed into generic anti-intellectualism or generic praise of learning. | Human theologian |
| Apostleship | 1:1 | Low | Standard, unambiguous. | Automated review |
Coverage note: Chapter 1 confirmed fully reviewed; all above doctrines load-bearing.
1 Corinthians 2 — The Spirit and True Wisdom
| Doctrine | Supporting Passages | Risk | Translation Risk | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Cross as Wisdom and Power | 2:1-5 | High | Paul’s refusal to rely on rhetorical persuasion must be preserved as a substantive theological claim, not a stylistic aside. | Human theologian |
| Natural versus Spiritual Discernment | 2:6-16 | High | The historic Károli rendering “érzéki ember” for ψυχικὸς ἄνθρωπος carries a contemporary sensual/indulgence connotation Paul does not intend; his point is Spirit-absence, not moral failure. Requires “természet szerinti ember” with a disambiguating note. | Human theologian |
| Faith | 2:5 | High | ”Not in the wisdom of men but in the power of God” — faith’s proper ground, reused from baseline. | Human theologian |
Coverage note: Chapter 2 confirmed fully reviewed.
1 Corinthians 3 — Building on Christ, the Temple
| Doctrine | Supporting Passages | Risk | Translation Risk | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Christian Unity versus Factionalism | 3:1-4, 3:21-23 | High | ”Fleshly” (testi) believers still quarreling over leaders; continues ch.1’s risk profile. | Human theologian |
| The Church as God’s Temple | 3:9-17 | High | ”Templom” ordinarily denotes a physical building in everyday Hungarian; 3:16’s corporate, Spirit-indwelt congregation sense must be clearly distinguished from that default reading and from 6:19’s individual-body sense. | Native speaker review |
Coverage note: Chapter 3 confirmed fully reviewed.
1 Corinthians 4 — Apostolic Stewardship
| Doctrine | Supporting Passages | Risk | Translation Risk | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apostolic Stewardship | 4:1-2, 4:9-13 | Medium | ”Sáfár” (steward) must convey accountable trust, not autonomous authority or celebrity-teacher status; low denominational-collision risk. | Native speaker review |
| Apostleship | 4:9,15 | Low | Consistent with ch.1, 9, 12, 15. | Automated review |
Coverage note: Chapter 4 confirmed fully reviewed.
1 Corinthians 5 — Church Discipline
| Doctrine | Supporting Passages | Risk | Translation Risk | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Church Discipline and Holiness | 5:1-13 | Critical | ”Deliver this man to Satan” (5:5) requires precise, literal, non-sensationalized rendering that preserves the passage’s restorative aim (“that his spirit may be saved”) and does not trivialize discipline as mere administration. | Human theologian |
Coverage note: Chapter 5 confirmed fully reviewed; single dominant doctrine, Critical tier, no dilution permitted.
1 Corinthians 6 — Lawsuits, Sexual Purity, the Body
| Doctrine | Supporting Passages | Risk | Translation Risk | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sexual Purity and the Body | 6:12-20 | High | ”Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit” (6:19) reuses ναός in its individual sense; requires a disambiguating note distinct from 3:16’s corporate sense, since both share the single Hungarian word “templom.” | Human theologian |
| Redemption: Bought with a Price | 6:20 | Medium | Must not overliteralize the transactional metaphor into a specific unnamed recipient. | Native speaker review |
| Sanctification | 6:11 | High | ”You were washed, sanctified, justified” sequence must not be forced into either the Reformed third-use-of-the-law framework or Catholic sacramental-purification framework as the text’s own definition. | Human theologian |
Coverage note: Chapter 6 confirmed fully reviewed.
1 Corinthians 7 — Marriage and Singleness
| Doctrine | Supporting Passages | Risk | Translation Risk | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marriage and Singleness | 7:1-40 | High | Paul’s both/and balance (marriage good; singleness equally good, Spirit-enabled) risks selective reading through a Catholic consecrated-celibacy category or a Reformed/cultural marriage-as-default assumption; the divorce material (7:10-16) intersects Catholic indissolubility/annulment categories and differing Reformed pastoral practice. | Human theologian |
| Divine Calling (vocational-state sense) | 7:17-24 | High | The same Greek term used for effectual calling here denotes one’s social/marital state at conversion; must not import “irresistible calling” theology into this distinct sense. | Human theologian |
Coverage note: Chapter 7 confirmed fully reviewed.
1 Corinthians 8 — Food Offered to Idols, Liberty and Love
| Doctrine | Supporting Passages | Risk | Translation Risk | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Christian Liberty and Idol Meat | 8:1-13 | High | The liberty-love balance (the food has no power; love for the weaker believer’s conscience should still govern its use) must be preserved as a both/and, not resolved toward pure liberty or pure restriction. | Human theologian |
| Conscience and Love for the Weak | 8:7-13 | Medium | ”Weak conscience” must not imply intellectual deficiency but a genuine, still-maturing sensitivity to be respected. | Native speaker review |
| Love as the Greater Way | 8:1-3 | High | First appearance of ἀγάπη in the letter, already contrasted with mere “knowledge” (γνῶσις); anticipates ch.13. | Human theologian |
| Lordship of Christ | 8:6 | Critical | ”One Lord, Jesus Christ” — monotheistic confession set against “many gods and many lords”; exclusivity must be retained without qualification. | Human theologian |
Coverage note: Chapter 8 confirmed fully reviewed.
1 Corinthians 9 — Apostolic Rights and Self-Discipline
| Doctrine | Supporting Passages | Risk | Translation Risk | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ministry Support and Self-Discipline | 9:1-27 | Medium | Athletic-contest imagery for disciplined ministry; minor grace-versus-merit sensitivity in reward language, but low denominational-collision risk. | Native speaker review |
| Apostleship | 9:1-2 | Low | Consistent with baseline. | Automated review |
Coverage note: Chapter 9 confirmed fully reviewed.
1 Corinthians 10 — Israel’s Example, Idolatry, the Lord’s Table
| Doctrine | Supporting Passages | Risk | Translation Risk | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Idolatry and Israel’s Wilderness Example | 10:1-22 | High | Paul’s distinction between merely eating previously-offered food (cautiously permissible, ch.8) and direct participation in idol worship (never permissible, 10:14-22) must not be flattened in either direction; the wilderness τύπος must read as real historical pattern, not mere illustration. | Human theologian |
| The Lord’s Supper | 10:16-17 | Critical | ”The cup of blessing… the bread we break” introduces the κοινωνία-in-the-body/blood language ahead of ch.11’s fuller institution narrative; render literally, without resolving toward any one sacramental metaphysic. | Human theologian |
| Christian Liberty and Idol Meat | 10:23-11:1 | High | Continues ch.8’s balance; “all things lawful, not all things beneficial” must not collapse into unqualified license. | Human theologian |
| Fulfillment of Prophecy | 10:1-11 | Medium | Israel’s wilderness history presented as scripturally anticipated and typologically instructive; requires adequate Old Testament background for readers. | Native speaker review |
Coverage note: Chapter 10 confirmed fully reviewed.
1 Corinthians 11 — The Lord’s Supper, Head Covering
| Doctrine | Supporting Passages | Risk | Translation Risk | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Lord’s Supper | 11:17-34 | Critical | The institution words (“this is my body… this is my blood,” 11:24-25), “remembrance” (ἀνάμνησις), “unworthily,” and “discerning the body” must all be rendered literally without embellishing toward transubstantiation, real-spiritual-presence, sacramental union, or memorial-only readings. “Úrvacsora” is the neutral biblical-text name, distinct from Catholic-specific liturgical vocabulary (Eucharisztia, Oltáriszentség). | Human theologian |
| Head Covering and Gender Order in Worship | 11:2-16 | High | κεφαλή’s contested semantic range (authority vs. source/origin) underlies live complementarian/egalitarian disagreement within both Hungarian Catholic and Reformed communities; the interpretive question must be carried by teaching notes, not resolved by lexical choice. | Human theologian |
| Apostolic Tradition and Scripture | 11:2, 11:23 | Critical | ”I delivered to you what I also received” (παρέδωκα/παρέλαβον) is the sharpest new Catholic Sacred Tradition vs. Reformed sola scriptura fault line in this curriculum; render as fixed, apostolically-authenticated content without importing either community’s developed doctrine of tradition. | Human theologian |
Coverage note: Chapter 11 confirmed fully reviewed; contains two of the curriculum’s eight Critical-tier doctrines.
1 Corinthians 12 — Spiritual Gifts, One Body
| Doctrine | Supporting Passages | Risk | Translation Risk | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spiritual Gifts and the Body of Christ | 12:1-31 | High | ”Krisztus teste” shares the Hungarian word “test” with the individual-body (ch.6), sacramental (ch.11), and resurrection-body (ch.15) senses of σῶμα; each occurrence requires sense-specific disambiguation. Paul’s affirming-yet-regulating balance on gifts must be preserved. | Human theologian |
| Lordship of Christ | 12:3 | Critical | ”Jézus az Úr” — must match the Romans 10:9 baseline rendering verbatim, per the mandatory cross-document consistency rule. | Human theologian |
| Tongues and Prophecy | 12:10, 12:28 | High | Both major Hungarian traditions read these dramatic gifts cautiously (small Pentecostal/Charismatic presence in Hungary); avoid cessationist dismissal or unregulated-normative overreading. | Human theologian |
Coverage note: Chapter 12 confirmed fully reviewed.
1 Corinthians 13 — Love
| Doctrine | Supporting Passages | Risk | Translation Risk | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Love as the Greater Way | 13:1-13 | High | ”Szeretet” is broader in ordinary Hungarian usage than ἀγάπη (covering romantic/affective love as well); teaching notes must keep Paul’s willed, self-giving, others-oriented sense clear, especially given the chapter’s structural placement between two chapters on spiritual gifts. | Human theologian |
| Faith | 13:2, 13:13 | High | Faith listed alongside hope and love as abiding, but explicitly subordinated to love in this triad — must not be read as diminishing faith’s baseline soteriological weight established elsewhere in the letter. | Human theologian |
Coverage note: Chapter 13 confirmed fully reviewed.
1 Corinthians 14 — Order in Worship
| Doctrine | Supporting Passages | Risk | Translation Risk | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Order in Worship | 14:26-40 | High | 14:34’s instruction on women’s silence in the assembly is among the most exegetically and denominationally contested verses in the letter within Hungarian Christianity; render literally and carry the interpretive question (culturally-bound local instruction vs. transcultural principle) entirely through teaching notes. | Human theologian |
| Tongues and Prophecy | 14:1-40 | High | Continues ch.12’s balance; Paul values tongues while requiring interpretation and regulating corporate use — neither gift should be presented as inherently superior outside the text’s own qualification. | Human theologian |
Coverage note: Chapter 14 confirmed fully reviewed.
1 Corinthians 15 — Resurrection (Core Passage, 15:1-11, and Full Chapter)
| Doctrine | Supporting Passages | Risk | Translation Risk | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Resurrection of Christ and Believers | 15:1-11, 15:12-23 | Critical | Theological anchor of the curriculum. Affirmed identically across Hungarian Catholic, Reformed, and Lutheran traditions — risk lies in theological flattening (reducing ὤφθη’s objective, verifiable appearances to subjective visions, or the perfect-tense ἐγήγερται to a merely past, non-abiding event), not in cross-tradition disagreement. | Human theologian |
| Apostolic Tradition and Scripture | 15:1, 15:3-4 | Critical | ”I delivered to you what I also received… that Christ died… was buried… was raised… and appeared” is the single most sensitive lexical/doctrinal choice in the core passage; render as fixed, apostolically-authenticated gospel content without importing either community’s developed doctrine of tradition. | Human theologian |
| Gospel | 15:1-2, 15:11 | High | The gospel is restated here as fixed, transmitted content, not an evolving message; consistent across every preacher named in 15:11. | Human theologian |
| Faith | 15:2, 15:11, 15:14, 15:17 | High | ”If Christ has not been raised, your faith is in vain” ties faith’s content directly to a historical, verifiable resurrection claim, not a general disposition of trust. | Human theologian |
| Salvation | 15:2 | Critical | Present-tense “you are being saved… if you hold fast” intersects the Romans-baseline Reformed perseverance-of-the-saints / Catholic ongoing-uncertainty divide; must not be resolved toward either reading. | Human theologian |
| The Nature of the Resurrection Body | 15:35-58 | Critical | ”Natural body / spiritual body” (σῶμα ψυχικόν/πνευματικόν) risks a docetic misreading if “lelki test” is heard as denying physicality; requires a strong translator note affirming real, transformed bodily resurrection. | Human theologian |
| Adam-Christ Typology | 15:21-22, 15:45-49 | High | ”The last Adam” compresses substantial representative-headship theology; requires teaching notes to surface content compacted into a brief phrase. Shared, non-divisive orthodoxy across Hungarian traditions. | Human theologian |
| Lordship of Christ | 15:57 | Critical | ”Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” — closing doxological confession, consistent with 8:6 and 12:3. | Human theologian |
| Fulfillment of Prophecy | 15:3-4 | Medium | ”According to the Scriptures” (κατὰ τὰς γραφάς) — Christ’s death and resurrection as scripturally anticipated. | Native speaker review |
| Apostleship | 15:7, 15:9 | Low | Paul’s self-designation as “least of the apostles”; consistent, unambiguous. | Automated review |
Coverage note: Chapter 15, containing the core passage, confirmed fully reviewed; carries five of the curriculum’s eight Critical-tier doctrines — the highest doctrinal density in the book.
1 Corinthians 16 — Collection, Closing, Maranatha
| Doctrine | Supporting Passages | Risk | Translation Risk | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Church Unity and Generosity | 16:1-4 | Low | Practical instruction on the Jerusalem collection; mild ecclesiological significance (Gentile-Jewish believer unity), minimal doctrinal risk. | Automated review |
| Maranatha and Christ’s Return | 16:22 | Medium | Aramaic liturgical formula retained untranslated per the baseline’s “Abba” precedent; the accompanying ἀνάθεμα warning must preserve solemnity without inviting misuse as casual condemnation, since everyday Hungarian “átok” carries folk-superstition connotations distinct from this formal apostolic pronouncement. | Native speaker review |
| Christian Fellowship | 16:19-20 | Low | ”Holy kiss” greeting requires only a cultural-adaptation note, since the specific greeting form is not customary in contemporary Hungarian church culture. | Automated review |
| Lordship of Christ | 16:22-23 | Critical | Closing grace-and-lordship benediction; consistency with 8:6, 12:3, 15:57 required. | Human theologian |
Coverage note: Chapter 16 confirmed fully reviewed.
Cross-Chapter Doctrines Requiring Special Consistency Tracking
The following doctrines recur across multiple chapters and require identical rendering and identical translator-note content at every occurrence, per the baseline’s cross-document consistency rule extended to this curriculum:
| Doctrine | Occurrences | Consistency Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Lordship of Christ | 8:6, 12:3, 15:57, 16:22 | ”Jézus az Úr” must match Romans 10:9 verbatim at 12:3; all four occurrences must use “Úr” without qualification. |
| The Lord’s Supper | 10:16-17, 11:17-34 | Institution language and κοινωνία language must be rendered identically in both passages. |
| Body (σῶμα, “test”) | 6:19, 10:16-17, 11:24-29, 12:12-27, 15:35-44 | Five distinct senses (individual temple, sacramental, ecclesial, resurrection) share one Hungarian word; sense-specific translator notes required at every occurrence. |
| Apostolic Tradition and Scripture | 11:2, 11:23, 15:1, 15:3 | Identical “átadtam/átvettem” (delivered/received) phrasing required at every occurrence. |
| Divine Calling | 1:1, 1:9, 1:24, 1:26, 7:17-24 | Effectual/soteriological sense (ch.1) must be kept lexically and notationally distinct from the vocational-state sense (ch.7). |
This document extends assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json (v1) with full chapter-level mapping. All risk tiers and review routings above are identical to the registry and must not be altered independently of a registry version increment.
Critical Risk Doctrines
Grace
Hungarian name: a kegyelem
Key terms: grace, kegyelem
Review routing: Human theologian
Reuse of the Romans baseline Critical grace doctrine; 15:10’s ‘not I, but the grace of God’ directly parallels the Romans 4:4-5/11:5-6 grace-versus-merit argument and sits at the same Reformed monergistic-grace / Catholic merit-cooperating-grace fault line documented in the baseline — Paul’s own logic (grace produced real, vigorous labor) must be preserved without resolving the underlying systematic debate.
Salvation
Hungarian name: az üdvösség
Key terms: saved, salvation, üdvösség
Review routing: Human theologian
Reuse of the baseline Critical salvation doctrine; 15:2’s present-tense ‘you are being saved… if you hold fast’ intersects directly with the same Reformed perseverance-of-the-saints / Catholic ongoing-uncertainty-pending-final-perseverance divide the baseline documents for Romans 8, and must not be resolved toward either reading.
Church Discipline and Holiness
Hungarian name: az egyházi fegyelem és a szentség
Key terms: porneia, paráznaság, deliver to Satan, leaven
Review routing: Human theologian
CRITICAL. Core curriculum doctrine. The severe corrective (‘deliver this man to Satan,’ 5:5) requires precise, literal rendering that neither trivializes church discipline as a mere administrative matter nor sensationalizes it beyond the passage’s own restorative aim (‘that his spirit may be saved’); given real potential for pastoral misapplication in contemporary Hungarian congregational settings across both major traditions, this doctrine requires the same rigor as the baseline’s most sensitive entries.
The Lord’s Supper
Hungarian name: az úrvacsora
Key terms: Lord’s Supper, kyriakon deipnon, úrvacsora, my body, my blood, remembrance, discerning the body
Review routing: Human theologian
CRITICAL. Core curriculum doctrine, comparable in weight to the baseline’s grace/justification/election entries. Hungary’s Catholic majority holds transubstantiation (the elements become, in substance, Christ’s actual body and blood, re-presented sacramentally at each Mass); the Hungarian Reformed tradition holds a Calvinist real-spiritual-presence view (Christ truly, spiritually present and received by faith, without change of substance); Hungarian Lutheran communities hold a sacramental-union view distinct from both; some smaller Protestant groups hold a memorial-only view. ‘Úrvacsora’ functions as the neutral, biblical-text name for the rite, distinguished from Catholic-specific liturgical vocabulary (Eucharisztia, Oltáriszentség); the institution words and κοινωνία language must be rendered literally, without embellishment toward or resolution of any one tradition’s metaphysical account.
Lordship of Christ
Hungarian name: Krisztus uralma
Key terms: Jesus is Lord, kyrios, Úr
Review routing: Human theologian
Reuse of the baseline Critical lordship_of_christ doctrine; 12:3’s confession ‘Jézus az Úr’ must match the Romans 10:9 rendering verbatim per the baseline’s mandatory cross-document consistency rule, since this Language Package’s learners will encounter both texts within the same curriculum ecosystem.
The Resurrection of Christ and Believers
Hungarian name: Krisztus és a hívők feltámadása
Key terms: resurrection, feltámadás, raised, appeared
Review routing: Human theologian
CRITICAL. Core curriculum doctrine and the theological anchor of this curriculum (15:1-11). Reuses the baseline Critical resurrection entry; affirmed identically across Hungarian Catholic, Reformed, and Lutheran traditions with no internal denominational division, so the risk lies in theological flattening (reducing ὤφθη’s objective, verifiable appearances to subjective visions, or the perfect-tense ἐγήγερται to a merely past, non-abiding event) rather than in doctrinal disagreement between traditions.
The Nature of the Resurrection Body
Hungarian name: a feltámadott test természete
Key terms: natural body, spiritual body, sōma psychikon, sōma pneumatikon, imperishable
Review routing: Human theologian
CRITICAL. New curriculum doctrine central to ch.15’s second half. Both major Hungarian traditions affirm real, bodily resurrection against any purely ‘spiritual’/disembodied afterlife reading, but Hungarian ‘lelki test’ (spiritual body) risks being misheard as denying physicality altogether; ‘földi test / lelki test’ requires a strong translator note guarding against this docetic misreading while preserving Paul’s own real transformation-not-replacement claim.
Apostolic Tradition and Scripture
Hungarian name: az apostoli hagyomány és a Szentírás
Key terms: delivered, received, paradidōmi, paralambanō, according to the Scriptures, átadtam, Írás
Review routing: Human theologian
CRITICAL. New curriculum doctrine, and the single most sensitive lexical/doctrinal choice in the core passage. The Catholic tradition holds Scripture and Sacred Tradition (szent Hagyomány) as jointly authoritative and will naturally read παρέδωκα/παρέλαβον as vindicating this category; the Reformed tradition (sola scriptura) reads the same verb-pair as apostolic content now fully and sufficiently deposited in Scripture, with no ongoing extra-biblical tradition of equal authority. Render as a fixed, apostolically-authenticated gospel content (‘átadtam nektek, amit én is kaptam’) without importing either community’s fully developed doctrine of tradition.
High Risk Doctrines
Gospel
Hungarian name: az evangélium
Key terms: gospel, evangélium, preached, received
Review routing: Human theologian
Reuse of the Romans baseline gospel doctrine; 1 Korinthus 15:1-11 restates the gospel as fixed, apostolically-transmitted content — see apostolic_tradition_and_scripture below for the sharper Hungarian Catholic/Reformed fault line this raises regarding how that content is preserved and transmitted.
Faith
Hungarian name: a hit
Key terms: faith, hit, believed
Review routing: Human theologian
Reuse of the baseline High-risk faith doctrine; 15:14,17’s argument (‘if Christ has not been raised, your faith is in vain’) ties faith’s content directly to a historical, verifiable resurrection claim rather than a general disposition of trust, a distinction worth reinforcing for readers across both major Hungarian traditions.
Divine Calling
Hungarian name: Isten elhívása
Key terms: called, calling, elhívás, elhívott
Review routing: Human theologian
Reuse of the baseline High/Critical calling doctrine; ch.7’s vocational-state sense of the same Greek word (one’s social condition at conversion) must be kept distinct from the soteriological effectual-calling sense to avoid importing the Reformed ‘irresistible calling’ doctrine into a passage about marital/social status.
Sainthood (Called to be Holy)
Hungarian name: a szentségre való elhívás
Key terms: saints, szentek, called to be holy
Review routing: Human theologian
Reuse of the baseline High-risk sainthood doctrine; 1:2’s ‘church of God… called to be saints’ repeats Romans 1:7’s corporate address, retaining the same asymmetric risk that Hungarian Catholic popular piety associates ‘szentek’ with canonized figures while the Reformed tradition historically rejects saint veneration — the corporate, all-believers clarifying note remains required.
Sanctification
Hungarian name: a megszentelődés
Key terms: sanctification, megszentelődés, holy
Review routing: Human theologian
Reuse of the baseline High-risk sanctification doctrine; 6:11’s ‘you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified’ sequence must not be read through either the Reformed law’s-third-use framework or Catholic sacramental-purification framework as the text’s own definition.
Christian Unity versus Factionalism
Hungarian name: a keresztény egység a szakadás ellenében
Key terms: division, schisma, szakadás, factions
Review routing: Human theologian
New curriculum doctrine. The named rival factions (‘I follow Paul/Apollos/Cephas’) risk being read by a contemporary Hungarian audience as directly analogous to, and therefore either reinforcing or trivializing, the historically entrenched Catholic-Reformed denominational divide this Language Package documents throughout the baseline; the translation must preserve Paul’s own critique of leader-centered partisanship within one local congregation without allowing it to be read as a verdict on the legitimacy of denominational distinctions as such.
The Cross as Wisdom and Power
Hungarian name: a kereszt mint bölcsesség és erő
Key terms: cross, wisdom, foolishness, kereszt, bölcsesség, bolondság
Review routing: Human theologian
New curriculum doctrine, core to chapters 1-2. Paul’s deliberate rhetorical paradox (God’s wisdom appearing as foolishness, God’s power appearing as weakness) must be preserved in Hungarian without being smoothed into generic praise of either simple faith over intellectualism or vice versa; ‘bölcsesség’ and ‘bolondság’ are shared, unambiguous terms across Hungarian Catholic and Reformed tradition, so the primary risk is rhetorical flattening rather than denominational division.
Natural versus Spiritual Discernment
Hungarian name: a természet szerinti és a lelki ember
Key terms: natural person, spiritual person, pneumatikos, psychikos
Review routing: Human theologian
New curriculum doctrine. The historic Károli-tradition rendering of ψυχικὸς ἄνθρωπος as ‘érzéki ember’ carries a strong contemporary Hungarian connotation of sensual/bodily indulgence, risking a moralistic misreading of Paul’s actual point — that this person simply lacks the Spirit and so cannot discern spiritual truth, regardless of moral behavior.
The Church as God’s Temple
Hungarian name: az egyház mint Isten temploma
Key terms: temple, naos, templom, building
Review routing: Native speaker review
New curriculum doctrine. ‘Templom’ in everyday Hungarian usage denotes a physical church building, risking a category confusion where readers picture an actual structure rather than the corporate congregation as God’s Spirit-indwelt dwelling; this corporate sense (3:16) must be kept distinct from the individual-body sense reintroduced in 6:19.
Sexual Purity and the Body
Hungarian name: a testi tisztaság
Key terms: porneia, paráznaság, body, temple of the Holy Spirit, bought with a price
Review routing: Human theologian
New curriculum doctrine. ‘Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit’ (6:19) reuses ναός in its individual sense, distinct from 3:16’s corporate sense — both share the single Hungarian word ‘templom,’ requiring a disambiguating translator note so the individual believer’s bodily holiness is not conflated with, or substituted for, the corporate-church sense.
Marriage and Singleness
Hungarian name: a házasság és az egyedülállóság
Key terms: marriage, gamos, házasság, virgin, parthenos, divorce, chōrizō
Review routing: Human theologian
Core curriculum doctrine. Paul’s both/and balance — marriage as good, singleness as an equally good and Spirit-enabled calling — risks being read selectively through either a Hungarian Catholic tradition that elevates a distinct, separately-categorized consecrated celibacy, or a broader cultural and Reformed-pastoral expectation that treats marriage as the assumed norm; the divorce/remarriage material (7:10-16) further intersects Catholic canon-law categories (indissolubility, annulment) and differing Reformed pastoral practice, requiring careful, text-bound phrasing that does not silently import either tradition’s fuller framework.
Christian Liberty and Idol Meat
Hungarian name: a keresztény szabadság és a bálványáldozati hús
Key terms: food offered to idols, eidōlothyton, bálványáldozati hús, conscience, syneidēsis
Review routing: Human theologian
Core curriculum doctrine. Paul’s argument (the food itself has no power, yet love for the weaker believer’s conscience should govern its use) must be preserved as a both/and balance; contemporary Hungary has no direct idol-meat-market analogue, so the underlying principle — liberty constrained by love, not by the object’s inherent power — requires careful contextual framing rather than literal cultural transposition.
Idolatry and Israel’s Wilderness Example
Hungarian name: a bálványimádás és Izrael pusztai példája
Key terms: idolatry, eidōlolatria, bálványimádás, type, typos, temptation
Review routing: Human theologian
New curriculum doctrine. Paul’s distinction between merely eating food previously offered to idols (permissible with caution, per ch.8) and participating directly in idol worship (never permissible, 10:14-22) must not be flattened in either direction; Israel’s wilderness failures function typologically as a warning, requiring the typos concept to be rendered so believers recognize it as a real historical pattern, not a mere illustration.
Head Covering and Gender Order in Worship
Hungarian name: a fedettség és a nemek rendje az istentiszteleten
Key terms: head, kephalē, fej, covered, uncovered
Review routing: Human theologian
New curriculum doctrine. κεφαλή’s contested semantic range (authority vs. source/origin) underlies ongoing complementarian/egalitarian disagreement within both Hungarian Catholic and Reformed communities; the culturally-specific head-covering practice itself is a live point of generational and denominational difference in contemporary Hungarian church life, requiring the interpretive question to be carried by teaching notes rather than resolved by translation choice.
Spiritual Gifts and the Body of Christ
Hungarian name: a lelki ajándékok és Krisztus teste
Key terms: spiritual gifts, charismata, lelki ajándékok, body of Christ, sōma Christou, members
Review routing: Human theologian
Core curriculum doctrine, reusing and extending the baseline Medium-risk spiritual_gifts entry to its fullest ecclesiological development in this letter. ‘Krisztus teste’ shares the Hungarian word ‘test’ with the individual-body (ch.6), sacramental (ch.11), and resurrection-body (ch.15) senses of σῶμα, requiring sense-specific disambiguation; both major Hungarian traditions read the more dramatic gifts (tongues, prophecy) cautiously given Hungary’s comparatively small Pentecostal/Charismatic presence, and the translation must preserve Paul’s own affirming-yet-regulating balance.
Love as the Greater Way
Hungarian name: a szeretet mint a nagyobb út
Key terms: love, agapē, szeretet
Review routing: Human theologian
Core curriculum doctrine, and a foundational term newly established for this Language Package (ἀγάπη is not present in the Romans baseline translation memory). Hungarian ‘szeretet’ is the standard, unambiguous term shared across Catholic and Reformed tradition with no rival-tradition collision, but it is semantically broader than ἀγάπη — covering ordinary affection and romantic feeling as well — so teaching notes must keep Paul’s specifically willed, self-giving, others-oriented sense clear, especially given ch.13’s structural placement between two chapters on spiritual gifts.
Order in Worship
Hungarian name: a rend az istentiszteleten
Key terms: order, taxis, rend, be silent, sigaō
Review routing: Human theologian
Core curriculum doctrine. 14:34’s instruction regarding women’s silence in the assembly is one of the most exegetically and denominationally contested verses in the letter within Hungarian Christianity, intersecting live contemporary debate over women’s roles in both Catholic and Reformed church life; render literally and carry the interpretive question (culturally-bound local instruction vs. transcultural principle) entirely through teaching notes.
Tongues and Prophecy
Hungarian name: a nyelveken szólás és a prófétálás
Key terms: tongues, glōssa, nyelvek, prophecy, interpretation
Review routing: Human theologian
New curriculum doctrine. Both major Hungarian traditions read these more dramatic gifts cautiously compared to Pentecostal/Charismatic traditions, a smaller presence in Hungary, paralleling the baseline’s spiritual_gifts note; the translation must present Paul’s own balanced, textually-qualified argument (valuing tongues while requiring interpretation and regulating corporate use) rather than either a cessationist dismissal or an unregulated-normative reading not supported by the chapter’s own qualifications.
Adam-Christ Typology
Hungarian name: Ádám és Krisztus előképi kapcsolata
Key terms: last Adam, eschatos Adam, az utolsó Ádám, first Adam
Review routing: Human theologian
New curriculum doctrine. The compact phrase ‘the last Adam’ compresses substantial representative-headship theology (death introduced through the first Adam, reversed through the last); this typology requires teaching notes to surface content that could otherwise pass unnoticed in a brief phrase, though it is shared, non-divisive orthodoxy across Hungarian traditions.
Medium Risk Doctrines
Apostolic Stewardship
Hungarian name: az apostoli sáfárság
Key terms: steward, oikonomos, sáfár, mysteries of God
Review routing: Native speaker review
New curriculum doctrine. Apostles as accountable stewards of God’s mysteries, not autonomous authorities or celebrity teachers — a corrective relevant to any culture’s tendency toward personality-centered ministry, with low denominational-collision risk in Hungary.
Redemption: Bought with a Price
Hungarian name: az áron való megvásároltatás
Key terms: bought with a price, agorazō, áron megvásároltattatok
Review routing: Native speaker review
New curriculum doctrine. The redemption metaphor must not be overliteralized into implying a specific transactional recipient the text does not name; low denominational-collision risk, standard shared vocabulary.
Conscience and Love for the Weak
Hungarian name: a lelkiismeret és a gyengék iránti szeretet
Key terms: conscience, syneidēsis, lelkiismeret, weak
Review routing: Native speaker review
New curriculum doctrine, closely tied to Christian Liberty above. ‘Weak conscience’ must be rendered so as not to imply intellectual deficiency, but a genuine, still-maturing moral sensitivity to be respected rather than merely corrected.
Ministry Support and Self-Discipline
Hungarian name: a szolgálat támogatása és az önfegyelem
Key terms: reward, misthos, jutalom, race, agōn, self-control
Review routing: Native speaker review
New curriculum doctrine. Paul’s athletic-contest imagery for disciplined ministry carries a minor grace-versus-merit sensitivity (ministry reward language) paralleling the baseline’s grace note, but the doctrine itself is low-collision across Hungarian traditions.
Maranatha and Christ’s Return
Hungarian name: Marana thá — Krisztus visszajövetele
Key terms: Maranatha, Marana tha, come Lord, anathema
Review routing: Native speaker review
New curriculum doctrine. The Aramaic liturgical formula is retained untranslated per the baseline’s ‘Abba’ precedent; the accompanying ἀνάθεμα warning must preserve its solemnity without inviting misuse as casual condemnation language, given that everyday Hungarian ‘átok’ carries folk-superstition connotations distinct from this formal apostolic pronouncement.
Fulfillment of Prophecy
Hungarian name: a prófécia beteljesedése
Key terms: according to the Scriptures, kata tas graphas, az Írások szerint, type, typos
Review routing: Native speaker review
Reuse of the baseline Medium-risk fulfillment_of_prophecy doctrine; both Christ’s death/resurrection (15:3-4) and Israel’s wilderness history (10:1-11) are presented as scripturally anticipated and typologically instructive, requiring readers to have or be given adequate Old Testament background.
Low Risk Doctrines
Apostleship
Hungarian name: apostolság
Key terms: apostle, apostol
Review routing: Automated review
Reuse of the baseline Low-risk apostleship doctrine; unambiguous and consistent across Hungarian Christian traditions.
Church Unity and Generosity
Hungarian name: az egyház egysége és az adakozás
Key terms: collection, logeia, gyűjtés
Review routing: Automated review
New curriculum doctrine. Practical instruction regarding the Jerusalem collection, with mild ecclesiological significance (Gentile-Jewish believer unity) but minimal doctrinal risk.
Christian Fellowship
Hungarian name: a testvéri közösség
Key terms: fellowship, koinōnia, közösség, holy kiss
Review routing: Automated review
Reuse of the baseline Low-risk christian_fellowship doctrine; the ‘holy kiss’ greeting (16:20) requires only a cultural-adaptation note, since this specific greeting form is not customary in contemporary Hungarian church culture.
