Semantic Analysis — 1 Timothy (English → Hungarian)

Methodology and Scope

This analysis covers 1 Timothy 1–6 in full. The core passage, 1 Timothy 3:1–13 (Qualifications for Overseers and Deacons), receives verse-by-verse treatment. Every other chapter, including the remainder of chapter 3 (3:14-16), receives chapter-level treatment of its load-bearing theological terms. Chapters that introduce no new terminology beyond what has already been analyzed state this explicitly rather than being silently skipped.

Per the governing rule, any term already recorded in the baseline Romans translation_memory.json MUST reuse the exact recorded Hungarian rendering. Such terms are marked [baseline TM] below with the recorded rendering repeated for clarity. New terms proposed here for 1 Timothy are candidates for addition to translation memory in Step 8 (glossary) and onward into Phase 2 tooling.

Fields provided per load-bearing term: Original (Greek), Transliteration, Literal meaning, Semantic range, English variants, Contextual theological meaning, Hungarian rendering & risk.

PART A — CORE PASSAGE: 1 Timothy 3:1–13 (Verse-by-Verse)

1 Timothy 3:1

Greek: Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος· εἴ τις ἐπισκοπῆς ὀρέγεται, καλοῦ ἔργου ἐπιθυμεῖ.

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
πιστός pistos trustworthy, faithful	reliable, believing, faithful (adjective form of πίστις/faith [baseline TM: hit]) “trustworthy,” “faithful,” “sure”	Formulaic authentication phrase used repeatedly in the Pastoral Epistles (“the saying is trustworthy”) to mark an authoritative maxim about to be cited.	”megbízható/igaz” — Low. Standard, but should stay consistent with the other four “trustworthy saying” formulas in 1 Timothy (1:15; 3:1; 4:9) and 2 Timothy 2:11; Titus 3:8.
ἐπισκοπή episkopē overseership, the office of overseer	the function/office, not merely an individual ”the office of a bishop,” “overseer’s office,” “the office of overseer”	Names the office itself (abstract noun), distinct from the office-holder (ἐπίσκοπος, v.2). Establishes that eldership/oversight is a recognized, desirable, teachable office within the church, not an informal role.	”püspökség/felügyelői tisztség” — Critical. See ἐπίσκοπος note at v.2; the abstract-office form carries the same Catholic/Reformed fault line.
ὀρέγομαι oregomai to stretch out toward, to aspire to	reach for, desire eagerly, aspire ”desires,” “aspires to,” “seeks”	A legitimate, commendable aspiration to serve, not worldly ambition — sets the positive tone before the qualification list.	”vágyik/törekszik rá” — Low.
καλὸν ἔργον kalon ergon good work/deed	a noble task, a fine deed ”a noble task,” “a good work”	Reframes church leadership as service (a “good work”), not status; anticipates the servant-shaped list in vv.2-13.	”jó munka/jó cselekedet” — Low-Medium. Avoid rendering with a term implying meritorious works that earn standing (would collide with the Critical grace/justification entries in the baseline TM).

1 Timothy 3:2

Greek: δεῖ οὖν τὸν ἐπίσκοπον ἀνεπίλημπτον εἶναι, μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρα, νηφάλιον, σώφρονα, κόσμιον, φιλόξενον, διδακτικόν·

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
ἐπίσκοπος episkopos overseer, one who watches over	overseer/superintendent; later ecclesiastical “bishop" "bishop,” “overseer,” “superintendent”	The office-holder responsible for guarding sound doctrine and shepherding the local congregation (cf. Acts 20:28, used interchangeably there with πρεσβύτερος/elder).	“püspök” (established Károli-tradition rendering) — CRITICAL. Hungarian Catholic tradition understands “püspök” as a distinct sacramental order within a threefold hierarchy (bishop-priest-deacon) holding teaching authority in apostolic succession. The Hungarian Reformed Church also uses “püspök” as an institutional title (a district’s elected chief pastor/administrator) but denies any sacramentally distinct order — a “püspök” is a presbyter (elder) among equals given an administrative function, not a higher order of ordination. Both traditions use the identical Hungarian word for functionally different offices. Render as “püspök” (matching historic usage and both traditions’ vocabulary) but require a translator’s note stating that 1 Timothy 3 describes a local congregational overseer/elder, without importing either tradition’s later, fully developed doctrine of the episcopate.
ἀνεπίλημπτος anepilēmptos not able to be laid hold of, blameless	irreproachable, above censure ”above reproach,” “blameless,” “irreproachable”	Sets the overall frame for the list: a public reputation with no legitimate ground for accusation, not sinlessness.	”feddhetetlen” — High. Must not be rendered so as to imply sinless perfection (which would create tension with universal sinfulness in Romans 3:23); this is reputational/behavioral integrity.
μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρα mias gynaikos andra a one-woman man / husband of one wife	(a) monogamous if married; (b) marital faithfulness/moral character; (c) not divorced/remarried, in some readings ”the husband of one wife,” “faithful to his wife,” “a one-woman man”	Historically debated whether this requires marriage, forbids polygamy, forbids remarriage after divorce, or requires marital fidelity as a character quality. Requires a literal-idiom rendering that preserves the ambiguity Paul himself leaves.	”egy feleség férje” — High. Render literally rather than resolving the debate (e.g., do not expand to “csak egyszer házasodott férfi,” which would import a specific systematic answer to a disputed question). Flag for theologian review.
νηφάλιος nēphalios sober, temperate	free from excess (of wine or of passion); clear-headed ”sober-minded,” “temperate,” “self-controlled”	Clear-headed spiritual judgment, not merely abstention from alcohol.	”mértékletes” — Medium.
σώφρων sōphrōn sound-minded, self-controlled	disciplined judgment, prudence ”self-controlled,” “sensible,” “discreet”	Internal discipline of mind and desire; a virtue Paul repeats for elders, deacons’ households, older/younger believers alike (2:9, 15; 3:2).	“megfontolt/józan gondolkodású” — Medium.
κόσμιος kosmios orderly, well-arranged	respectable, decent, modest in behavior ”respectable,” “orderly,” “of good behavior”	Consistent, well-ordered public conduct that matches the office.	”tisztességes/rendezett életű” — Low-Medium.
φιλόξενος philoxenos loving strangers	hospitable, welcoming to guests/travelers ”hospitable,” “given to hospitality”	Practical, self-giving welcome of others, including traveling believers — an expected mark of leadership, not an optional virtue.	”vendégszerető” — Low.
διδακτικός didaktikos skilled in teaching	able and willing to teach ”able to teach,” “apt to teach”	Directly ties the office to Sound Doctrine: an overseer must be able to instruct and defend right teaching, not simply administrate.	”tanításra alkalmas” — High. Central to the Sound Doctrine vs. False Teaching doctrine; must not be softened to mere “jó beszédű” (a good speaker), which would lose the teaching-competency sense.

1 Timothy 3:3

Greek: μὴ πάροινον, μὴ πλήκτην, ἀλλὰ ἐπιεικῆ, ἄμαχον, ἀφιλάργυρον·

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
πάροινος paroinos given to wine	drunkard, addicted to wine ”given to drunkenness,” “a drinker”	Excludes habitual over-indulgence, a common ancient-Mediterranean social vice, from leadership character.	”mértéktelen ivó/borisszás” — Low.
πλήκτης plēktēs a striker	violent, quarrelsome, given to physical or verbal aggression ”violent,” “quarrelsome,” “pugnacious”	Excludes leaders prone to aggression, contrasted immediately with gentleness.	”erőszakos/kötekedő” — Low-Medium.
ἐπιεικής epieikēs yielding, gentle	reasonable, forbearing, gracious under pressure ”gentle,” “forbearing,” “reasonable”	Positive counter-virtue to πλήκτης: a leader who yields personal advantage for others’ good.	”engedékeny/szelíd” — Medium.
ἄμαχος amachos not fighting	peaceable, not contentious ”not quarrelsome,” “peaceable”	Avoids needless conflict, especially doctrinal or personal disputes that fracture the congregation.	”békeszerető/nem viszálykodó” — Low.
ἀφιλάργυρος aphilargyros not a lover of silver	free from love of money ”not a lover of money,” “not greedy for gain”	Directly anticipates the Godliness and Contentment doctrine developed fully in 6:6-10; leadership disqualified by love of money.	”nem pénzsóvár/nem kapzsi” — Medium. Connects to 6:10’s “root of all evils” — keep the rendering of “love of money” lexically consistent across 3:3, 3:8 (αἰσχροκερδής), and 6:10 (φιλαργυρία).

1 Timothy 3:4

Greek: τοῦ ἰδίου οἴκου καλῶς προϊστάμενον, τέκνα ἔχοντα ἐν ὑποταγῇ μετὰ πάσης σεμνότητος·

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
οἶκος oikos house, household	household, extended family, family estate ”household,” “house,” “family”	The proving ground for public leadership: household management is the visible, testable analogue of church leadership (v.5).	“háznép/ház” — Medium.
προΐστημι proistēmi to stand before, to lead/manage	to govern, direct, care for, take responsibility for ”manage,” “rule,” “lead,” “care for”	Recurs at v.5 (church) and v.12 (deacons’ households) and 5:17 (elders who rule well) — establishes a single leadership-verb spanning household and congregation.	”vezet/elöljár” — Medium-High. Keep consistent across 3:4, 3:5, 3:12, and 5:17 so the household-church analogy remains visible in Hungarian.
ὑποταγή hypotagē subjection, submission	order, obedience, submission within a structured relationship ”submission,” “obedience,” “subjection”	Describes household order (children’s submission), not necessarily total gender hierarchy by itself; distinct sense from 2:11’s use for women in the assembly, though related.	”alárendeltség/engedelmesség” — High. Culturally and doctrinally sensitive term wherever it recurs (2:11; 3:4); render contextually and flag for theologian review given ongoing complementarian/egalitarian debate present in both major Hungarian traditions.
σεμνότης semnotēs dignity, reverence	seriousness, gravity, respectability ”dignity,” “respect,” “gravity”	The manner (not just outcome) of a well-run household — reverent seriousness, not harshness.	”tisztesség/méltóság” — Medium.

1 Timothy 3:5

Greek: εἰ δέ τις τοῦ ἰδίου οἴκου προστῆναι οὐκ οἶδεν, πῶς ἐκκλησίας θεοῦ ἐπιμελήσεται;

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
ἐκκλησία θεοῦ ekklēsia theou assembly of God	the church, God’s called-out people (church [baseline TM: egyház]; God [baseline TM: Isten]) “church of God,” “God’s church,” “God’s assembly”	Directly names the church as God’s own possession, anticipating 3:15’s “household of God… church of the living God."	"Isten egyháza” — Critical (compound of two Critical/High baseline terms). Preserve both baseline renderings exactly; do not substitute “gyülekezet” alone without “Isten.”
ἐπιμελέομαι epimeleomai to care for, take charge of	attend to, look after, be responsible for ”care for,” “take care of,” “look after”	Pastoral, not merely administrative, oversight of the congregation — echoes the Good Samaritan’s care (Luke 10:34-35), the only other NT use of this verb family.	”gondját viseli/gondoskodik róla” — Medium.

---

1 Timothy 3:6

Greek: μὴ νεόφυτον, ἵνα μὴ τυφωθεὶς εἰς κρίμα ἐμπέσῃ τοῦ διαβόλου.

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
νεόφυτος neophytos newly planted	a recent convert, a novice in the faith ”a new convert,” “recently converted,” “novice”	Spiritual maturity, not merely doctrinal correctness, is required for oversight — guards against premature elevation.	”újonnan/frissen megtért” — Low-Medium.
τυφόομαι typhoomai to be enveloped in smoke, to be conceited	to become puffed up with pride ”puffed up with conceit,” “becomes proud”	Names the specific spiritual danger of premature leadership: pride leading to downfall.	”elbizakodottá válik” — Medium.
κρίμα τοῦ διαβόλου krima tou diabolou the judgment/condemnation of the devil	(a) the same condemnation the devil fell under (pride → judgment); (b) a judgment the devil brings about ”the condemnation of the devil,” “the devil’s judgment,” “fall into the same judgment as the devil”	Frames unqualified leadership not merely as an administrative risk but a spiritual-warfare danger.	”az ördög kárhozata/ítélete” — Medium-High. Genuinely ambiguous genitive (subjective vs. objective); preserve the ambiguity rather than resolving it, and flag for native speaker review.

1 Timothy 3:7

Greek: δεῖ δὲ καὶ μαρτυρίαν καλὴν ἔχειν ἀπὸ τῶν ἔξωθεν, ἵνα μὴ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν ἐμπέσῃ καὶ παγίδα τοῦ διαβόλου.

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
μαρτυρία καλή martyria kalē a good testimony/witness	good reputation, favorable report ”good reputation,” “well spoken of,” “good testimony”	The overseer’s credibility must extend beyond the congregation into the wider community — a missional as well as pastoral concern.	”jó hírnév/jó bizonyság” — Medium.
οἱ ἔξωθεν hoi exōthen those outside	non-believers, outsiders to the church ”outsiders,” “those outside [the church]“	Names the watching unbelieving community, relevant to the Mission and Evangelism doctrine areas of the wider curriculum.	”kívülállók” — Low.
ὀνειδισμός oneidismos reproach, disgrace	public shame, scorn ”reproach,” “disgrace,” “scorn”	The relational/social consequence of scandal — reputational fall, not merely private guilt.	”gyalázat/megszólás” — Low-Medium.
παγὶς τοῦ διαβόλου pagis tou diabolou snare of the devil	trap, entrapment set by the devil ”the devil’s trap,” “snare of the devil”	A second, distinct spiritual-warfare image (a trap, not a verdict) — reinforces that leadership disqualification has a spiritual-adversarial dimension, not merely a reputational one.	”az ördög csapdája” — Medium.

---

1 Timothy 3:8

Greek: Διακόνους ὡσαύτως σεμνούς, μὴ διλόγους, μὴ οἴνῳ πολλῷ προσέχοντας, μὴ αἰσχροκερδεῖς,

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
διάκονος diakonos servant, minister; deacon (office)	(a) generic servant/minister (used of Christ, Paul, Timothy elsewhere); (b) a recognized church office of practical/mercy ministry ”deacon,” “servant,” “minister”	Here a distinct, second recognized office alongside overseer — service-shaped leadership with its own qualification list.	”diakónus” (established loanword) — CRITICAL. Hungarian Catholic tradition holds the diaconate as a distinct order within the sacrament of Holy Orders (permanent or transitional deacons, ordained by a bishop). Hungarian Reformed tradition typically treats “diakónus” as a non-sacramental, congregation-recognized office of mercy/practical ministry (poor relief, care), without ordination in the sacramental sense. Render as “diakónus” (the shared established term) but require a translator’s note that 1 Timothy 3:8-13 describes qualifications for a recognized service office without assuming either tradition’s later sacramental theology of ordination.
δίλογος dilogos double-worded	double-tongued, saying different things to different people ”double-tongued,” “insincere in speech,” “saying one thing to one, another to another”	Integrity of speech required for a role built on trust and practical service.	”kétszínű/kétnyelvű” — Medium.
αἰσχροκερδής aischrokerdēs shamefully greedy for gain	greedy for dishonest profit, especially relevant where a role handles money/resources (deacons historically assisted with charitable distribution, cf. Acts 6) “greedy for money,” “fond of dishonest gain”	Connects directly to the Godliness and Contentment doctrine; especially pointed for deacons, who in the early church often administered charitable funds.	”haszonleső/mocskos nyerészkedésre hajló” — Medium-High. Keep consistent in sense with ἀφιλάργυρος (3:3) and φιλαργυρία (6:10).

1 Timothy 3:9

Greek: ἔχοντας τὸ μυστήριον τῆς πίστεως ἐν καθαρᾷ συνειδήσει.

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
μυστήριον τῆς πίστεως mystērion tēs pisteōs the mystery of the faith	the previously-hidden, now-revealed truth of the gospel held as a body of belief (faith [baseline TM: hit]) “the mystery of the faith,” “the deep truths of the faith”	Pauline μυστήριον is not an unsolved puzzle but a once-hidden divine truth now disclosed in Christ (cf. 3:16’s “mystery of godliness”). Both deacons and overseers must hold this revealed truth, not merely behave well — ties directly to Sound Doctrine and Guarding the Deposit of Faith.	”a hit titka” — High. Caution: Hungarian “titok” carries a strong everyday sense of “secret” (something concealed, possibly esoteric); a translator’s note should clarify this is revealed, not esoteric, truth, to avoid any drift toward gnostic-sounding “hidden knowledge” framing, which the letter itself elsewhere polemicizes against (6:20, “falsely called knowledge”).
συνείδησις καθαρά syneidēsis kathara a clean conscience	inner moral awareness, judged clear/undefiled ”a clear conscience,” “a pure conscience”	Conscience (συνείδησις) recurs as a major term across the letter (1:5, 19; 3:9; 4:2) — moral integrity paired with doctrinal soundness is the letter’s repeated双 requirement for leadership and for all believers.	”tiszta lelkiismeret” — High. New term for this Language Package (not in the Romans baseline); must be added to translation memory with High risk given its repeated, load-bearing role tying right belief to right living throughout 1 Timothy.

1 Timothy 3:10

Greek: καὶ οὗτοι δὲ δοκιμαζέσθωσαν πρῶτον, εἶτα διακονείτωσαν ἀνέγκλητοι ὄντες.

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
δοκιμάζω dokimazō to test, examine, prove genuine	assess, scrutinize, approve after testing (metallurgical background: testing metal’s purity) “let them be tested,” “let them first be tried,” “must be examined”	Establishes a process of examination prior to appointment — an implicit procedure for recognizing/ordaining deacons that both traditions can affirm without a single fixed liturgical form being assumed by the text itself.	”megvizsgálják/próbára tegyék” — Medium-High. Relevant to ordination-process questions across both traditions; flag for native speaker review.
ἀνέγκλητος anegklētos not to be called in, blameless	free from valid accusation ”blameless,” “beyond reproach”	Parallel standard to ἀνεπίλημπτος (v.2) applied to deacons — reputational integrity as the fruit of the testing process.	”kifogástalan” — Medium.

---

1 Timothy 3:11

Greek: Γυναῖκας ὡσαύτως σεμνάς, μὴ διαβόλους, νηφαλίους, πιστὰς ἐν πᾶσιν.

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
γυναῖκας gynaikas women / wives	(a) the wives of deacons; (b) women serving in a parallel or distinct office (female deacons/deaconesses) “wives,” “women,” “their wives”	Major, genuinely disputed exegetical fork: does this describe deacons’ wives (continuing the deacon qualification list) or a distinct female ministry office alongside deacons (cf. Phoebe, διάκονον, Romans 16:1, already in the baseline TM as “diakónusa” in some traditions’ reading)? The Greek gives no possessive pronoun (“their wives”), which some translations supply and others omit.	”az asszonyok/nők” (rendered without inserting a possessive “feleségeik” that is not present in the Greek) — CRITICAL. Do not silently resolve toward either reading. Flag for mandatory theologian review; a translator’s note must state both interpretive options rather than presenting one as settled. This is a genuine textual-exegetical ambiguity, structurally similar in seriousness to the baseline’s Critical election/calling entries, though the underlying issue here is ecclesiological office rather than soteriology.
διάβολος (adj.) diabolos slanderous, devilish	slanderer, malicious talker (here adjectival, echoing the noun “the devil” used three times already in this chapter) “slanderers,” “malicious gossips”	Integrity of speech required, paralleling δίλογος for deacons (v.8) — verbal trustworthiness expected of women in this role/relationship.	”rágalmazó” — Medium.
νηφάλιος nēphalios sober, temperate	(repeat of 3:2, 3:11) “sober-minded,” “temperate”	Same virtue required across all three lists (overseers, deacons, and this group), reinforcing a single unified standard of self-control for all recognized ministry roles.	”mértékletes” — Medium (reuse from v.2).
πιστὰς ἐν πᾶσιν pistas en pasin faithful in all things	trustworthy/reliable across every matter (faith/faithful [baseline TM: hit], adjectival form) “faithful in all things,” “trustworthy in everything”	Comprehensive reliability, matching the overall pattern of the qualification lists (character over charisma).	“mindenben hűséges” — Medium.

---

1 Timothy 3:12

Greek: διάκονοι ἔστωσαν μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρες, τέκνων καλῶς προϊστάμενοι καὶ τῶν ἰδίων οἴκων.

All terms here (διάκονος, μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρα, προΐστημι, οἶκος, τέκνα) reuse the analysis already provided at 3:2, 3:4, and 3:8 above. No new load-bearing terms are introduced; the verse applies the same standards of marital faithfulness and household management already established for overseers to deacons specifically, confirming that both offices share a single, unified character standard rather than two different moral tiers.

1 Timothy 3:13

Greek: οἱ γὰρ καλῶς διακονήσαντες βαθμὸν ἑαυτοῖς καλὸν περιποιοῦνται καὶ πολλὴν παρρησίαν ἐν πίστει τῇ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
διακονέω diakoneō to serve, minister (verb form of διάκονος)	to serve well in the office ”those who have served well”	Names faithful exercise of the office itself, not merely holding a title — service is the substance of the office.	”aki jól szolgál/szolgált” — Medium (reuse of διάκονος root).
βαθμὸν καλόν bathmon kalon a good step/standing	a good standing, a rising reputation, a good degree of honor ”a good standing,” “a good reputation,” “high standing”	A rare NT word (only occurrence) for the honor and respect that flows from faithful service, not a formal ecclesiastical “rank” or “grade” in the modern institutional sense.	”jó hírnév/megbecsült állás” — Medium. Avoid a rendering suggesting formal hierarchical promotion (e.g., a stepping-stone toward the overseer’s office), which is a later interpretive tradition, not stated by the text.
παρρησία parrēsia boldness, freedom of speech	confidence, openness, boldness (originally civic/political “freedom to speak”) “boldness,” “great confidence,” “assurance”	Spiritual confidence before God and others that flows from a life of faithful service — echoes the boldness believers have in prayer and gospel proclamation elsewhere in the NT.	”bátorság/bizalom” — Medium-High.
ἡ πίστις ἡ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ hē pistis hē en Christō Iēsou the faith that is in Christ Jesus	trust/belief whose object and location is Christ Jesus (faith [baseline TM: hit]; Jesus [baseline TM: Jézus]) “faith in Christ Jesus”	Grounds the deacon’s confidence not in achievement or office but in union with Christ, echoing the baseline’s Christian Identity in Christ doctrine.	”a Krisztus Jézusban való hit” — High (compound of baseline Critical/High terms; render both “hit” and “Jézus” exactly per baseline).

PART B — WHOLE-BOOK CHAPTER-BY-CHAPTER ANALYSIS

Chapter 1 — Sound Doctrine, Paul’s Apostolic Commission, and Testimony of Grace

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
ἐπιταγή θεοῦ epitagē theou commandment of God	authoritative directive, command ”commandment of God,” “command of God”	Grounds Paul’s apostolic authority (apostle [baseline TM: apostol]) in direct divine appointment, not human commissioning — relevant background for the Qualifications for Church Leadership doctrine’s emphasis on legitimate, recognized authority.	”Isten parancsa/rendelése” — Low-Medium.
σωτήρ sōtēr savior, deliverer	rescuer, one who saves ”Savior”	Applied to God the Father (1:1; 2:3; 4:10) and to Christ Jesus (elsewhere in the Pastorals), signaling shared divine identity and saving agency. 1 Timothy 4:10’s “Savior of all people, especially of those who believe” directly engages the same universal-call/particular-election tension flagged Critical in the baseline’s election and calling entries.	”Üdvözítő” — CRITICAL (new term; propose for translation memory). Must not be softened toward “Megmentő” (a generic rescuer) which lacks the established theological weight; must not resolve the universal/particular tension in 4:10 toward either full universalism or a reading that excludes God’s expressed will that “all people be saved” (2:4). Flag every occurrence for theologian review.
ἔλεος eleos mercy	compassionate kindness shown to the needy or guilty ”mercy”	Paired with grace [baseline TM: kegyelem] and peace [baseline TM: béke] in the greeting (1:2) and again describing Paul’s own conversion (1:13, 16) — mercy toward “the foremost of sinners” grounds the entire letter’s pastoral tone.	”irgalom” — Medium (new term; distinct word from “kegyelem”/grace — must not be conflated, since Hungarian theological usage distinguishes God’s merciful disposition, irgalom, from the unmerited gift itself, kegyelem).
ὑγιαίνουσα διδασκαλία hygiainousa didaskalia healthy/sound teaching	teaching that produces spiritual health, as opposed to teaching that “spreads like gangrene” (2 Tim 2:17) “sound doctrine,” “sound teaching,” “healthy teaching”	The letter’s central positive standard, against which the false teachers of 1:3-7 are measured. Anchors the Sound Doctrine vs. False Teaching doctrine for the whole book.	”egészséges tanítás” — High (new term; propose for translation memory as the letter’s signature doctrinal term, parallel in importance to the baseline’s “gospel” entry).
μῦθοι καὶ γενεαλογίαι ἀπέραντοι mythoi kai genealogiai aperantoi myths and endless genealogies	speculative legends and interminable pedigree-disputes (likely early Jewish-Christian speculative teaching, precursor to later gnostic tendencies) “myths and endless genealogies”	Names the content of the false teaching by contrast with sound doctrine — historically specific, not a general warning against all tradition or history.	”mondák és véget nem érő nemzetségtáblázatok” — Low-Medium.
νόμος nomos law	[baseline TM: törvény] “the Law”	1:8-9’s “the law is good, if one uses it lawfully” directly engages the baseline’s High-risk law entry and the Reformed “threefold use of the law” framework; render per baseline without assuming that systematic framework as background.	”törvény” — reuse [baseline TM], risk High per baseline.
συνείδησις syneidēsis conscience	moral self-awareness, the faculty that approves or accuses ”conscience”	1:5, 19 introduce conscience as inseparable from sound doctrine — a “good conscience” is both fruit and guardian of right belief; its rejection leads to “shipwreck” of faith (1:19).	“lelkiismeret” — High (new term; propose for translation memory; recurs in 3:9; 4:2).
ναυαγέω nauageō to be shipwrecked	to suffer total loss/ruin (nautical metaphor) “made shipwreck [of their faith]“	A vivid image for total, not partial, loss of a formerly held faith — relevant to church discipline and the seriousness of false teaching.	”hajótörést szenved” — Low (idiom, translate meaning, not literalistically forced).
παραδίδωμι τῷ Σατανᾷ paradidōmi tō Satana to hand over to Satan	a severe act of church discipline (cf. 1 Cor 5:5) “delivered to Satan”	Names a concrete disciplinary consequence for those (Hymenaeus, Alexander) who rejected a good conscience — grounds church discipline as this letter’s ordinary, expected practice.	”átadta a Sátánnak” — Medium-High. Flag for native speaker review given the serious, unfamiliar-sounding nature of this disciplinary language to lay readers.
βασιλεῖ τῶν αἰώνων, ἀφθάρτῳ, ἀοράτῳ, μόνῳ θεῷ basilei tōn aiōnōn, aphthartō, aoratō, monō theō King of the ages, incorruptible, invisible, the only God	doxological titles for God’s eternity, incorruptibility, invisibility, and uniqueness ”the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God”	A doxology closing the chapter, affirming classical divine attributes shared identically by Catholic and Reformed Hungarian theology — low internal-doctrinal risk, but High importance for the doctrine of God.	”az örökkévalóság Királya, a halhatatlan, láthatatlan, egyedül való Isten” — Medium; reuses [baseline TM: Isten].

Chapter 2 — Public Worship and Prayer; Christ the One Mediator

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
δεήσεις, προσευχαί, ἐντεύξεις, εὐχαριστίαι deēseis, proseuchai, enteuxeis, eucharistiai petitions, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings	four overlapping terms for prayer, the third (ἔντευξις) being the same root the baseline registered under intercession [baseline TM: közbenjárás] for the Spirit’s/Christ’s intercession in Romans 8 ”petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings”	Here ἔντευξις denotes ordinary congregational intercessory prayer offered for civic rulers, not Christ’s or the Spirit’s unique heavenly intercession for believers described in Romans 8. Same Greek root, different referent and theological weight.	”könyörgések, imádságok, közbenjárások, hálaadások” — Medium-High. Reuse [baseline TM: közbenjárás] for the third term but add a translator’s note distinguishing this congregational sense from the Romans 8 Christological/pneumatological sense, to avoid readers assuming every use of “közbenjárás” always carries the Critical weight of the Romans 8:26-27, 34 passages. Reuse [baseline TM: hálaadás] for the fourth term exactly.
βασιλεῖς καὶ πάντες οἱ ἐν ὑπεροχῇ ὄντες basileis kai pantes hoi en hyperochē ontes kings and all who are in a position of prominence	civil rulers and those in authority ”kings and all who are in high positions”	Grounds Christian prayer for civil government (paralleling Romans 13’s authority teaching, already Medium-flagged in the baseline for government/authority sensitivity).	“királyok és minden feljebbvalóság” — Medium.
εὐσέβεια eusebeia godliness, piety	reverent devotion expressed in conduct ”godliness,” “piety,” “godly living”	First occurrence of this letter’s second major theme-word (after sound doctrine): a “peaceable and quiet life… in all godliness and dignity” (2:2) is prayer’s intended fruit. Recurs constantly through chs. 3-6.	”kegyesség” — High (new term; propose for translation memory as a signature term of this curriculum, parallel in weight to “sound doctrine”). Both Catholic devotional piety traditions and Reformed pietist traditions use “kegyesség,” but with different lived emphases (sacramental/devotional practice vs. Word-and-heart-centered personal piety); teach as Romans’ own Spirit-shaped godliness, not either tradition’s fully developed devotional system.
σεμνότης semnotēs dignity	(reuse from 3:4) “dignity”	Paired with godliness as the visible fruit of a peaceable Christian life.	”méltóság/tisztesség” — Medium (reuse).
θέλει πάντας ἀνθρώπους σωθῆναι thelei pantas anthrōpous sōthēnai he desires all people to be saved	God’s expressed universal salvific will (salvation [baseline TM: üdvösség]) “who desires all people to be saved”	Directly engages the Critical election/calling fault line already documented in the baseline: Reformed theology typically distinguishes God’s revealed universal desire from his sovereign, particular decree of election; Catholic synergistic theology reads this more straightforwardly as universal salvific intent cooperating with free will. Must be translated to Paul’s plain statement without resolving the systematic tension either way.	”azt akarja, hogy minden ember üdvözüljön” — CRITICAL. Flag for mandatory theologian review; cross-reference the baseline’s election and calling entries directly.
μεσίτης mesitēs mediator, go-between	one who stands between two parties to reconcile or represent ”mediator,” “go-between"	"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (2:5) — the letter’s Christological center for this curriculum’s “Christ as the One Mediator” doctrine; a distinct Greek term from ἔντευξις/intercession, but doctrinally adjacent.	”közbenjáró” — CRITICAL (new term; propose for translation memory). Must be distinguished in translator notes from the baseline’s intercession [közbenjárás] entry: μεσίτης here names Christ’s unique, exclusive, once-for-all mediatorial role in redemption (parallel to his role as sole basis of access to God), the very ground the Reformed tradition cites against seeking Marian or saintly mediation, while Catholic doctrine (including at Vatican II) also formally affirms Christ’s unique mediatorship even as popular piety practices saintly/Marian intercession. Never render so as to imply Christ is one mediator among several.
ἀντίλυτρον antilytron a ransom in exchange	the price paid to redeem/release a captive ”ransom,” “a ransom for all”	Names the atoning, substitutionary nature of Christ’s death (2:6) — high doctrinal freight parallel to imputed_righteousness’s Critical rating in the baseline.	”váltságdíj” — High/Critical (new term; propose for translation memory).
κήρυξ καὶ ἀπόστολος kēryx kai apostolos herald and apostle	one who publicly proclaims + one sent with delegated authority (apostle [baseline TM: apostol]) “preacher and apostle”	Paul’s twin roles: public herald of the ransom-mediator gospel, and its authorized apostolic witness.	”hírnök és apostol” — Medium (κήρυξ new, low risk; ἀπόστολος reuse [baseline TM]).
κόσμιος, καταστολή kosmios, katastolē orderly; deportment/apparel	modest, respectable dress and demeanor ”respectable apparel,” “modest dress and demeanor”	Cultural-behavioral instruction for public worship (2:9-10) — genuinely time/culture-bound application requiring careful, non-legalistic contextualization.	”tisztességes öltözet/viselkedés” — Medium (cultural application; flag for native speaker review, not theologian).
ἐν πάσῃ ὑποταγῇ en pasē hypotagē in all submission	(reuse of ὑποταγή, 3:4) applied here to women’s posture of learning in the assembly ”in all submissiveness,” “in full submission”	2:11-12’s instruction regarding women’s teaching role is one of the most contested passages in contemporary global Christianity, including within both Hungarian traditions.	”teljes alárendeltségben/csendességben” — High. Flag for mandatory theologian review; translator’s note must present the passage’s historic complementarian reading without foreclosing legitimate exegetical discussion of scope and context, and without editorializing either direction into the translated text itself.
σωθήσεται διὰ τῆς τεκνογονίας sōthēsetai dia tēs teknogonias she will be saved through childbearing	a notoriously difficult clause with multiple proposed readings (physical safety in childbirth; saved through the birth of the Messiah; saved through faithful fulfillment of the domestic calling) “she will be saved through childbearing”	Requires a literal, non-resolving rendering; any interpretive expansion here risks a serious doctrinal overreach into the Critical salvation [baseline TM: üdvösség] entry.	”megtartatik a gyermekszülés által” — CRITICAL. Do not use “üdvözül” (the technical soteriological verb) without a clarifying note, since a literal reading could otherwise seem to condition final salvation on childbearing, contradicting justification by faith alone in either tradition’s reading of Romans. Mandatory theologian review.

Chapter 3:14–16 — Household of God, Pillar of Truth, Mystery of Godliness

(3:1–13 receives full verse-by-verse treatment in Part A above; this section covers the remainder of the chapter.)

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
οἶκος θεοῦ oikos theou house of God	God’s household, family (reuse of οἶκος, 3:4-5) “household of God,” “the house of God”	Describes the church as a family, not a building — grounds a relational, not merely institutional, ecclesiology.	”Isten háza/háznépe” — Medium (reuses οἶκος and [baseline TM: Isten]).
ἐκκλησία θεοῦ ζῶντος ekklēsia theou zōntos church of the living God	(reuse of ἐκκλησία θεοῦ, 3:5, with “living” added) “church of the living God”	Emphasizes God’s active, personal presence with his gathered people, contrasted implicitly with lifeless idols.	”az élő Isten egyháza” — Critical (reuses baseline egyház and Isten exactly).
στῦλος καὶ ἑδραίωμα τῆς ἀληθείας stylos kai hedraiōma tēs alētheias pillar and foundation/bulwark of the truth	architectural metaphor: a supporting column and a stabilizing base/buttress ”pillar and buttress of the truth,” “pillar and foundation of the truth,” “pillar and ground of the truth”	Central verse for the Church as Pillar of Truth doctrine. Genuine, sharp internal Hungarian fault line: Catholic ecclesiology historically reads this (together with Matthew 16:18 and the Magisterium’s teaching office) as grounding the church’s authoritative, guardian role over revealed truth; Reformed ecclesiology reads the church as truth’s witness and support, subordinate to and standing under the authority of Scripture itself (sola scriptura), never above or independent of it. The Greek image is of a structure that displays and upholds truth, not one that originates or authorizes it.	”az igazság pillére és alapja” — CRITICAL (new term; propose for translation memory as a headline Critical entry alongside grace/election/justification). Must be translated to the architectural image itself (support/display) without silently adopting either tradition’s developed doctrine of ecclesial authority relative to Scripture. Mandatory theologian review for every occurrence and every teaching document referencing this doctrine.
τὸ τῆς εὐσεβείας μυστήριον to tēs eusebeias mystērion the mystery of godliness	the once-hidden, now-revealed truth undergirding godly living: Christ himself ”the mystery of godliness,” “the mystery of our religion”	Introduces the creedal/hymnic summary of 3:16, tying godliness [εὐσέβεια, above] to Christological truth rather than mere ethical behavior — godliness is grounded in who Christ is and did, not self-generated virtue.	”a kegyesség titka” — High (reuses εὐσέβεια rendering; same “titok” caution as μυστήριον τῆς πίστεως at 3:9).
ἐφανερώθη ἐν σαρκί ephanerōthē en sarki was manifested in flesh	was made visibly, historically manifest in a real human body (incarnation [baseline TM: megtestesülés]) “manifested in the flesh,” “appeared in a body”	Direct restatement of the Incarnation doctrine already Critical in the baseline; 1 Timothy’s earliest creedal-hymn evidence for this doctrine.	”megjelent testben” — Critical; reuse baseline megtestesülés doctrine-name framing in teaching notes even though the verse itself uses a verb (ἐφανερώθη), not the noun.
ἐδικαιώθη ἐν πνεύματι edikaiōthē en pneumati was vindicated/justified in the Spirit	Christ’s own vindication/declaration of righteousness by the Spirit (resurrection-vindication), not the sinner’s justification by faith ”vindicated by the Spirit,” “justified in the Spirit,” “was justified in the Spirit”	Uses the same verb root as the baseline’s Critical justification entry [δικαιόω/δικαίωσις, megigazulás] but applied to a wholly different referent (Christ’s own vindication, not the believer’s forensic standing). A one-to-one reuse of “megigazult” here risks confusing readers into thinking Christ himself needed forensic justification from sin in the same sense believers do.	”igazolást nyert a Lélek által” — High. Recommend a rendering distinct from “megigazult” (reserved for believers’ justification) precisely to avoid theological confusion between Christ’s vindication and the sinner’s justification; flag as a deliberate translation-memory decision requiring theologian sign-off.
ὤφθη ἀγγέλοις ōphthē angelois was seen by angels	witnessed/beheld by angelic beings ”seen by angels”	Cosmic, not merely earthly, scope of Christ’s vindication.	”megjelent/láttatott az angyaloknak” — Low.
ἐκηρύχθη ἐν ἔθνεσιν ekērychthē en ethnesin was proclaimed among the nations	(reuse of κήρυξ root, 2:7; Gentiles/nations [baseline TM: pogányok, with “nemzetek” preferred for the neutral “nations” sense]) “proclaimed among the nations”	Missionary/global scope of the gospel proclamation.	”hirdették a nemzetek között” — Medium (prefer “nemzetek” per baseline’s guidance on the neutral sense over “pogányok”).
ἐπιστεύθη ἐν κόσμῳ episteuthē en kosmō was believed on in the world	received in faith globally (faith [baseline TM: hit]) “believed on in the world”	Universal reception of the gospel testimony.	”hittek benne a világon” — Medium.
ἀνελήμφθη ἐν δόξῃ anelēmphthē en doxē was taken up in glory	Christ’s ascension, described with glory [baseline TM: dicsőség] “taken up in glory”	Closes the six-line creedal hymn with Christ’s exaltation, paralleling Romans’ Christological hymns.	”felvitetett dicsőségben” — Medium; reuses baseline dicsőség.

Chapter 4 — False Asceticism, Personal Discipline, and the Laying On of Hands

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
ἀφίστημι τῆς πίστεως aphistēmi tēs pisteōs to depart/fall away from the faith	apostasy, abandonment of the faith (faith [baseline TM: hit]) “depart from the faith,” “fall away from the faith”	Direct continuation of the Sound Doctrine vs. False Teaching doctrine; names organized, predicted apostasy (“in later times”), not merely individual doubt.	”elszakadnak a hittől” — High (new term; propose for translation memory).
πνεύματα πλάνα καὶ διδασκαλίαι δαιμονίων pneumata plana kai didaskaliai daimoniōn deceitful spirits and teachings of demons	demonic spiritual sources behind false teaching ”deceitful spirits and teachings of demons”	Names the ultimate spiritual source of false teaching as demonic, not merely human error — significant for how False Teaching is framed pastorally (a spiritual battle, not just an intellectual disagreement).	“csalárd lelkek és ördögök/démonok tanításai” — High.
κωλυόντων γαμεῖν, ἀπέχεσθαι βρωμάτων kōlyontōn gamein, apechesthai brōmatōn forbidding to marry, [commanding] to abstain from foods	a specific false ascetic teaching that treats marriage and certain foods as inherently impure ”forbidding marriage and requiring abstinence from foods”	Important pastoral caution: this verse condemns a false teaching that marriage/food are inherently impure, not celibacy or fasting as such, which Scripture elsewhere commends as voluntary disciplines (cf. 1 Cor. 7). Must not be read or taught as a blanket polemic against consecrated celibacy, a live and sensitive point given the Catholic tradition of priestly and religious celibacy.	”tiltják a házasságot, és bizonyos ételektől való megtartózkodást [követelnek]” — Medium-High. Requires an explicit pastoral note distinguishing the condemned false teaching from voluntary, Scripturally-commended disciplines, to avoid giving offense or misrepresenting the text to Catholic-tradition readers.
κεκαυστηριασμένων τὴν ἰδίαν συνείδησιν kekaustēriasmenōn tēn idian syneidēsin having been branded/seared in their own conscience	a conscience rendered insensitive, as by a hot iron (conscience, reuse from ch.1/3) “having their conscience seared”	Describes a conscience that has lost its capacity to warn — the endpoint of persistent departure from sound doctrine.	”megbélyegzett/kiégetett lelkiismeretűek” — High (reuse “lelkiismeret,” new compound image).
ἁγιάζεται διὰ λόγου θεοῦ καὶ ἐντεύξεως hagiazetai dia logou theou kai enteuxeōs is sanctified through the word of God and prayer	(reuse of sanctification [baseline TM: megszentelődés] and ἔντευξις/intercession [baseline TM: közbenjárás], here in the sense of ordinary petition/thanksgiving over food) “is made holy by the word of God and prayer”	Corrects the false ascetic teaching by affirming God’s good creation (including food) received with grateful, Word-shaped prayer — everyday practice grounded in sound doctrine.	”megszenteltetik Isten igéje és a könyörgés által” — Medium (reuses baseline terms; note ἔντευξις here again denotes ordinary petition, not the Romans 8 Critical sense — same caution as ch.2).
γύμναζε σεαυτὸν πρὸς εὐσέβειαν gymnaze seauton pros eusebeian train/exercise yourself toward godliness	disciplined, athletic-metaphor spiritual training (reuse of εὐσέβεια/godliness) “train yourself for godliness”	Godliness as the goal of active spiritual discipline, holding promise for both “the present life and also for the life to come” (4:8) — directly launches the Godliness and Contentment doctrine’s positive, disciplined vision.	”gyakorold magad a kegyességben” — Medium (reuse εὐσέβεια rendering).
χάρισμα charisma gift, grace-gift	Spirit-given enablement for ministry, here Timothy’s own ordination gift (spiritual gifts [baseline TM: lelki ajándékok]) “the gift,” “spiritual gift”	Timothy’s specific ministry gift, given “through prophecy with the laying on of hands of the council of elders” (4:14) — connects personal calling to a recognized, corporate act of the church, relevant to Qualifications for Church Leadership.	”kegyelmi ajándék” — Medium; reuse baseline lelki ajándékok framing for the general category, singular form new.
διὰ προφητείας μετὰ ἐπιθέσεως τῶν χειρῶν τοῦ πρεσβυτερίου dia prophēteias meta epitheseōs tōn cheirōn tou presbyteriou through prophecy, with the laying on of hands of the council of elders (prophecy [baseline TM: prófécia])	ordination/commissioning act performed corporately by a body of elders ”through prophecy with the laying on of hands of the elders/presbytery”	Names a concrete, corporate act of commissioning — directly relevant to ordination theology, where Catholic tradition understands the laying on of hands sacramentally (an efficacious sign conferring grace within apostolic succession) and Reformed tradition understands it as a non-sacramental act of recognition and blessing, not conferring sacramental grace.	”kézrátétel a presbitérium által” — CRITICAL (new terms; propose for translation memory). “πρεσβυτέριον” rendered “presbitérium” is a live, technical Reformed-Hungarian institutional/governance term (the presbytery as a church court); a translator’s note must clarify that 1 Timothy 4:14 describes a local body of elders performing a commissioning act, without importing the full historic Presbyterian system of church government as the text’s own claim. Mandatory theologian review.
ἀνέχω, ἐπίδος anechō, epidos give attention to, be absorbed in	devote oneself fully to (reading, exhortation, teaching) “devote yourself to,” “give yourself wholly to”	Reinforces the priority of public reading/teaching/exhortation (exhort [baseline TM: buzdítani]) in shaping the congregation’s soundness.	”szenteld magad/adj magad teljesen” — Low (reuse buzdítani for exhortation).

Chapter 5 — Elders, Widows, and the Household of Faith

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
πρεσβύτερος presbyteros elder, older person	(a) an older man/woman by age (5:1-2); (b) the recognized church office of elder (5:17, 19) “an older man,” “elders,” “the elders”	A context-sensitive term (parallel in structure to the baseline’s High-risk called/calling context-sensitivity note): the same word shifts between generic age-reference and formal office across just a few verses.	”idősebb” (age sense, 5:1-2) / “presbiter” (office sense, 5:17,19) — High. Two distinct Hungarian renderings are required depending on sense; a mis-mapped rendering in either direction creates real confusion. Flag every occurrence for disambiguation. Cross-reference ἐπίσκοπος (3:1-2), since Acts 20:17, 28 uses πρεσβύτερος and ἐπίσκοπος interchangeably for the same office — a fact Reformed ecclesiology emphasizes (elder = overseer, one office) more than some Catholic historical-theological accounts, which developed a threefold distinction (bishop-presbyter-deacon) from these terms over time.
χήρα chēra widow	(a) any widow generally; (b) a formally “enrolled” widow supported by and serving the church (5:9-10) “widow,” “widows,” “enrolled widows”	Foundational term for the Care for Widows and the Household of Faith doctrine; the letter distinguishes ordinary bereavement from a recognized order of church-supported widows with specific qualifications (age, reputation, service history).	“özvegy” — Medium-High (new term; propose for translation memory). Requires a note explaining the distinct, formally “enrolled” (καταλέγω, v.9) NT widows’ ministry, which has no precise institutional equivalent in either modern Hungarian tradition and should not be flattened to a merely social-welfare category.
τὸν ἴδιον οἶκον εὐσεβεῖν ton idion oikon eusebein to show godliness toward one’s own household	practical family devotion/duty (reuse εὐσέβεια/godliness as a verb) “to show godliness/piety toward their own family,” “to care for their own household”	Grounds family responsibility for widowed relatives as an expression of godliness itself, not a separate civic duty — reinforces the Household of Faith doctrine’s integration of family and congregational responsibility.	”háznépe iránt kegyes legyen/gondoskodjon róluk” — Medium (reuse εὐσέβεια).
τὴν πρώτην πίστιν ἠθέτησαν tēn prōtēn pistin ēthetēsan they have set aside/broken their first faith/pledge	(a) abandoned their initial saving faith; (b) broken a specific vow/commitment made upon enrollment as a widow (faith [baseline TM: hit]) “they have broken their former pledge,” “have rejected their first faith”	Genuinely disputed sense: πίστις here plausibly denotes a specific vow of devoted service undertaken by enrolled widows (parallel to “pledge” or “troth”), not necessarily a loss of saving faith in the Critical soteriological sense. A one-to-one “hit” rendering risks implying apostasy from saving faith itself.	”megszegik korábbi fogadalmukat/hűségüket” — High. Recommend “fogadalom” (vow/pledge) rather than the baseline’s “hit” here, with a translator’s note explaining the departure from the default rendering and the reason (a specific vow context, not generic saving faith); flag for theologian review given the baseline’s insistence that “hit” renderings be handled with care.
δὶπλῆς τιμῆς diplēs timēs double honor	(a) honor/respect doubled; (b) possibly including material remuneration ”double honor”	Ties elder leadership (5:17) to tangible honor/support, especially those who “labor in preaching and teaching” — connects Qualifications for Church Leadership to practical church economics.	”kétszeres tisztesség/megbecsülés” — Medium-High.
κατηγορία katēgoria accusation	formal charge (here specifically against an elder, requiring two or three witnesses per Deuteronomic legal standard) “accusation [against an elder]“	Establishes due-process protection for elders under accusation — relevant to church discipline procedures within the Qualifications for Church Leadership doctrine.	”vád/panasz” — Medium.
τοὺς ἁμαρτάνοντας ἐνώπιον πάντων ἔλεγχε tous hamartanontas enōpion pantōn elegche rebuke those who sin in the presence of all	public correction for persisting elders (sin [baseline TM: bűn]) “rebuke [an elder who persists in sin] in the presence of all”	Public accountability specifically for leaders, deterring favoritism.	”a vétkezőket mindenki előtt fedd meg” — Medium (reuse bűn).
κλεκτῶν ἀγγέλων eklektōn angelōn elect/chosen angels	angels described as chosen (shares the root of the baseline’s Critical election [kiválasztás] entry, applied here to angels, not soteriologically) “the elect angels,” “the chosen angels”	Low doctrinal risk in this specific occurrence (5:21) since it concerns angelic beings, not human election/predestination, but the shared root should be flagged so translators are aware of the term family’s broader Critical status elsewhere.	”kiválasztott angyalok” — Low in this occurrence; note the shared root with the baseline’s Critical kiválasztás entry for awareness, not because this verse itself carries the same doctrinal weight.

Chapter 6 — Godliness with Contentment; Guarding the Deposit

Terms	Variants	Contextual theological meaning	Hungarian rendering & risk
πορισμὸν εἶναι τὴν εὐσέβειαν porismon einai tēn eusebeian to suppose that godliness is a means of gain	treating piety/ministry as a path to material profit (reuse εὐσέβεια/godliness) “imagining that godliness is a means of gain”	Names a specific false-teaching corruption of godliness itself — directly launches the chapter’s Godliness and Contentment doctrine as a corrective.	”azt gondolják, hogy a kegyesség nyereségforrás” — High (reuse εὐσέβεια).
εὐσέβεια μετὰ αὐταρκείας eusebeia meta autarkeias godliness with contentment/self-sufficiency	godliness joined to inward sufficiency that does not depend on external circumstance ”godliness with contentment,” “godliness combined with contentment”	The letter’s headline positive formula for this doctrine (6:6); reframes a common Stoic ethical ideal (αὐτάρκεια) in explicitly theological, God-dependent terms rather than self-generated inner mastery.	”kegyesség megelégedéssel” — High (new signature term; propose for translation memory as the doctrine’s title phrase). Note in teaching materials that Christian αὐταρκεια/“megelégedés” is grounded in God’s provision and eternal perspective (6:7, 17), not Stoic self-mastery, though the vocabulary echoes Stoic ethical language familiar in the Greco-Roman world.
ῥίζα πάντων τῶν κακῶν ἡ φιλαργυρία rhiza pantōn tōn kakōn hē philargyria the love of money is a root of all the evils	love of money as a source (not necessarily the sole source) from which many evils spring ”the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil,” “a root of all evils”	Famous, frequently misquoted verse (often flattened in popular English usage to “money is the root of all evil,” which mis-locates the object — it is love of money, not money itself, and a root among possible roots, not necessarily the exclusive one).	“a pénz szerelme minden rossznak gyökere” — High. Requires a translator’s note guarding against both the common misquotation pattern and any Hungarian folk-proverb collapse that might flatten Paul’s more precise claim (love of money, not money itself, as source).
αὐτάρκεια autarkeia self-sufficiency, contentment	(reuse from 6:6) “contentment,” “self-sufficiency”	See εὐσέβεια μετὰ αὐταρκείας above.	”megelégedés” — Medium-High (reuse).
δίωκε δικαιοσύνην, εὐσέβειαν, πίστιν, ἀγάπην, ὑπομονήν, πραϋπαθίαν diōke dikaiosynēn, eusebeian, pistin, agapēn, hypomonēn, prauypathian pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness	a positive virtue-list contrasted with the false teachers’ vices ”pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness”	Reuses righteousness [baseline TM: igazság] and faith [baseline TM: hit] exactly; introduces love (ἀγάπη), not present in the Romans baseline, as a new term requiring its own translation-memory entry.	”kövesd az igazságot, a kegyességet, a hitet, a szeretetet, az állhatatosságot, a szelídséget” — reuse igazság, hit [baseline TM]; new term ἀγάπη → “szeretet” — Medium (propose for translation memory; low internal Hungarian denominational conflict, but doctrinally central enough to require a formal entry).
ἀγωνίζου τὸν καλὸν ἀγῶνα τῆς πίστεως agōnizou ton kalon agōna tēs pisteōs fight the good fight of the faith	athletic/military struggle imagery applied to persevering faith (faith [baseline TM: hit]) “fight the good fight of the faith”	Echoes 2 Timothy 4:7’s parallel and connects perseverance to the Guarding the Deposit of Faith doctrine.	”harcold meg a hit szép harcát” — Medium (reuse hit).
ἐπιλαβοῦ τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς epilabou tēs aiōniou zōēs take hold of eternal life	grasp/seize eternal life as one’s own ”take hold of eternal life,” “lay hold on eternal life”	Names the goal of the fight of faith — connects to the baseline’s Assurance of Salvation Critical doctrine, since “taking hold” language sits differently within Reformed assurance-of-perseverance categories than within Catholic categories of hope pending final perseverance.	”ragadd meg az örök életet” — High (new term “örök élet”; propose for translation memory; cross-reference baseline assurance_of_salvation).
τὴν καλὴν ὁμολογίαν tēn kalēn homologian the good confession	a formal, public declaration of faith (echoes the baseline’s Critical lordship_of_christ doctrine and Romans 10:9’s confession) “the good confession,” “you made the good confession”	Directly parallels Romans 10:9’s salvation confession, here applied to Timothy’s own public confession and to Christ’s confession “before Pontius Pilate” (6:13) — reinforces cross-document consistency required by the baseline’s Theological Consistency Rules.	”a jó hitvallás” — High; cross-reference baseline’s mandated verbatim rendering of Romans 10:9 (“Jézus az Úr”), since this doctrine and that confession are directly linked.
βασιλεὺς τῶν βασιλευόντων καὶ κύριος τῶν κυριευόντων basileus tōn basileuontōn kai kyrios tōn kyrieuontōn King of those who reign and Lord of those who rule	superlative exaltation titles for God/Christ (Lord [baseline TM: Úr]) “King of kings and Lord of lords”	Directly reinforces the baseline’s Critical lordship_of_christ doctrine with the letter’s own most exalted title for Christ’s/God’s supreme, exclusive rule.	”királyok Királya és uraknak Ura” — CRITICAL; reuse baseline Úr exactly within the compound title.
ὁ μόνος ἔχων ἀθανασίαν, φῶς οἰκῶν ἀπρόσιτον ho monos echōn athanasian, phōs oikōn aprositon who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light	classical doxological attributes of divine transcendence (echoes 1:17) “who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light”	Shared, low-internal-conflict doctrine of God’s transcendence across both Hungarian traditions.	”aki egyedül halhatatlan, megközelíthetetlen fényben lakik” — Medium.
τὴν παραθήκην φύλαξον tēn parathēkēn phylaxon guard the deposit!	protect a valuable item placed in trust for safekeeping (banking/trust metaphor) “guard the deposit,” “guard what has been entrusted to you,” “keep that which is committed to your trust”	The letter’s climactic charge (6:20) and this curriculum’s title doctrine, Guarding the Deposit of Faith. Acute internal Hungarian doctrinal fault line: Catholic theology has a direct technical term, depositum fidei (“a hit letéteménye”), naming Scripture and Sacred Tradition jointly as the deposit guarded by the Magisterium’s teaching authority; Reformed theology reads “the deposit” as the apostolic gospel message itself, contained in and normed by Scripture alone, guarded through faithful teaching and preaching rather than an ongoing magisterial teaching office.	”őrizd meg a rád bízott letéteményt” — CRITICAL (new headline term; propose for translation memory as a Critical entry parallel to the baseline’s grace/election/justification entries). Must be translated to Paul’s own charge to Timothy personally to guard sound teaching, without silently adopting either tradition’s full doctrine of who or what institution ultimately guards “the deposit.” Mandatory theologian review for every occurrence and for any curriculum material invoking this doctrine’s name.
ἀντιθέσεις τῆς ψευδωνύμου γνώσεως antitheseis tēs pseudōnymou gnōseōs contradictions of the falsely-named “knowledge”	polemic against a rival “knowledge” claim (widely read as an early anticipation of what later became Gnosticism) “the contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge”	Reinforces that “the deposit” is a specific, bounded apostolic gospel, contrasted with a rival, falsely-labeled “gnosis” — historically significant background for the Sound Doctrine and Guarding the Deposit doctrines together.	”a hamis névvel nevezett ismeret ellenvetései” — Medium-High.
