Core Glossary
Core Glossary — Titus — Hungarian Destination Language
Notes on Use
This glossary extends, and never contradicts, the baseline Romans Language Package for Hungarian. Terms already recorded in the baseline translation_memory.json are marked [BASELINE — REUSE EXACTLY] and their established Hungarian rendering and risk tier are carried forward unchanged. New terms introduced by Titus are marked [NEW] and assigned risk tiers using the same Critical/High/Medium/Low framework defined in the baseline doctrine_risk_registry.json. Every term below is cited to at least one specific Titus chapter/verse. Curriculum doctrine tags map each term to the seven named Titus doctrines: Grace That Trains for Godly Living (GTG), Qualifications for Elders (QFE), Sound Doctrine and Good Works (SDW), Salvation by Grace not Works (SGW), Regeneration by the Holy Spirit (RHS), Submission to Authority (SUB), Avoiding Divisive Controversies (ADC).

Cross-Reference: Terms Reused Verbatim from the Baseline Romans Language Package
The following Titus terms MUST use the exact Hungarian rendering already established in the baseline translation_memory.json, with no deviation permitted:
- grace → kegyelem (Critical)
- faith → hit (High)
- righteousness → igazság (Critical)
- justification → megigazulás (Critical)
- election → kiválasztás (Critical)
- god → Isten (Critical)
- holy_spirit → Szentlélek (Critical)
- jesus → Jézus (Critical)
- apostle → apostol (Low)
- peace → béke (Medium)
- holy (hagios, where it occurs of consecration/set-apartness) → szent (Medium) — note: Titus’s ὅσιος (hosios, 1:8) and ἁγνός (hagnos, 2:5) are distinct Greek words requiring different Hungarian renderings (“szentéletű”/“kegyes” and “tiszta”/“erényes” respectively) to avoid collapsing three distinct Greek terms into one Hungarian word.
Notable Absences from Titus (For Translator Awareness)
- εὐαγγέλιον (euangelion, “gospel”) does not occur as a noun anywhere in Titus; the letter uses κήρυγμα (kērygma, “proclamation”) instead (1:3). Do not substitute “evangélium” where the Greek text itself uses a different term.
- ἁμαρτία (hamartia, “sin”) does not occur as a noun in Titus. The letter names the problem instead as ἀνομία (anomia, “lawlessness”) and ἐπιθυμίαι (epithymiai, “passions/desires”). Do not substitute “bűn” where the Greek text uses these more specific terms.
- κύριος (kyrios, “Lord”) does not occur in Titus. The letter’s Christological weight is carried instead by the direct “great God and Savior” predication (2:13) and the repeated σωτήρ (sōtēr, “Savior”) title — an even more direct assertion of Christ’s deity than the “Lord” title alone would provide.
- ἐκκλησία (ekklēsia, “church”) does not occur in Titus. The letter addresses church order through the offices of elder/overseer and household structures rather than through direct reference to the assembly as a corporate body.
Critical Risk Terms
Grace
Approved rendering: kegyelem
Transliteration: charis
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: kegyelem mint érdemek által gyarapítható, szentségek közvetítette adomány (tridenti értelmezés)
Original: χάρις
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package (identical rendering and risk tier). In Titus occurs at 1:4; 2:11; 3:7, 15. Deliberately paired with, but kept lexically distinct from, ἔλεος/irgalom (mercy) in 3:5-7 — do not conflate the two Greek terms into one Hungarian word. Also carries a Hungarian-specific root-collision risk with ‘kegyesség’ (godliness); see the godliness entry.
Righteousness
Approved rendering: igazság
Transliteration: dikaiosynē
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Original: δικαιοσύνη
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Titus 3:5’s ‘not by works done ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ’ is one of the plainest NT exclusions of works — even works done ‘in righteousness’ — as the ground of salvation.
Justification
Approved rendering: megigazulás
Transliteration: dikaioō / dikaiōthentes
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: fokozatos belső megszentelődés kizárólag, jogi kijelentés nélkül (tridenti értelmezés)
Original: δικαιόω / δικαιωθέντες
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Titus 3:7’s aorist passive participle (‘having been justified’) denotes a completed past act performed on the believer, not an ongoing process; render with a Hungarian verb form preserving this completed-action sense rather than a progressive form.
Salvation
Approved rendering: üdvösség
Transliteration: sōtēria
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Inherited from Romans package. The noun σωτηρία itself does not occur standalone in Titus, but its root underlies the new terms ‘saving_grace’ (2:11), ‘saved’ (3:5), and ‘savior’ (throughout) — see those entries.
Messiah
Approved rendering: Messiás
Transliteration: Christos / Mashiach
Doctrine: Messianic Promise
Original: Χριστός / מָשִׁיחַ
Category: Christology
Inherited from Romans package. Titus does not use this explicit title as often as Romans; reserve ‘Messiás’ for explicit titular/messianic-promise contexts. When functioning as part of the composite proper name ‘Jesus Christ,’ render ‘Krisztus’ instead — see the new ‘christ’ entry below.
Election
Approved rendering: kiválasztás / Isten választottai
Transliteration: eklektōn theou / eklogē
Doctrine: Election / Effectual Calling
Rejected alternatives: kiválasztás, mely emberi együttműködés nélkül értelmezhetetlen (szinergista olvasat kényszerítése), kiválasztás mint szabad akarat nélküli, vak végzet (fatalista félreolvasás)
Original: ἐκλεκτῶν θεοῦ / ἐκλογή
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Titus 1:1’s ‘Isten választottai’ (God’s elect) is the direct Titus occurrence of the baseline’s sharpest internal doctrinal fault line (Hungarian Reformed double predestination vs. Catholic synergism). Translate to Paul’s bare claim; do not over-extend Romans 9-11’s full systematic argument into this brief salutation.
Jesus
Approved rendering: Jézus
Transliteration: Iēsous
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Original: Ἰησοῦς
Category: Christology
Inherited from Romans package. Occurs Titus 1:1, 4; 2:13; 3:6.
God
Approved rendering: Isten
Transliteration: theos
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Original: θεός
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package. Occurs throughout Titus, including the Savior title (‘Isten, a mi Üdvözítőnk,’ 1:3; 2:10; 3:4) and the Granville-Sharp construction of 2:13.
Holy Spirit
Approved rendering: Szentlélek
Transliteration: pneuma hagion
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Original: πνεῦμα ἅγιον
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package. Titus 3:5’s ‘renewal of the Holy Spirit’ is the direct agent of regeneration; render the genitive so the Spirit is clearly agent/source, not merely an attribute.
Lord
Approved rendering: Úr
Transliteration: kyrios
Doctrine: Lordship of Christ
Inherited from Romans package, carried here for TRANSLATOR AWARENESS ONLY. kyrios does NOT occur anywhere in Titus. The letter’s Christological weight is carried instead by the ‘great God and Savior’ predication (2:13) and the repeated ‘Savior’ (Üdvözítő) title.
Imputed Righteousness
Approved rendering: beszámított igazság
Transliteration: elogisthē autō eis dikaiosynēn
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: befogadott/beoltott igazság mint kizárólag belső átalakulás (tridenti értelmezés)
Inherited from Romans package, carried here for background only. The specific Romans 4:3 construction does not recur verbatim in Titus, but Titus 3:5-7’s exclusion of works and forensic ‘megigazulás’ draw on the identical doctrinal category; do not assume Titus restates this exact phrase.
Christ
Approved rendering: Krisztus
Transliteration: Christos
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: Messiás (reserve exclusively for explicit titular/messianic-promise contexts, not as part of the composite proper name)
Original: Χριστός
Category: Christology
NEW formalized entry. Not a standalone key in the baseline Romans translation_memory.json (which tracked only ‘jesus’ and ‘messiah’), but required by the established Hungarian Bible proper-name convention referenced in the baseline AI Translation Requirements. Render ‘Krisztus’ (transliterated proper name) when functioning as part of the composite name ‘Jesus Christ’ throughout Titus (1:1, 4; 2:13; 3:6, etc.).
Saving Grace
Approved rendering: üdvösséget hozó
Transliteration: sōtērios
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: grace merely as generally beneficial (‘jó’, ‘hasznos’) without retained salvific force
Original: σωτήριος
Category: Salvation
NEW. Adjective describing grace as inherently saving (Titus 2:11), built on the baseline üdvösség root. The most compact statement of Salvation by Grace not Works in the entire book; must not be softened.
Saved
Approved rendering: megmentett / üdvözített
Transliteration: esōsen (sōzō)
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Original: ἔσωσεν (σῴζω)
Category: Salvation
NEW. Verb form ‘he saved us’ (Titus 3:5); render with the same root as ‘üdvösség’ so the connection to the baseline salvation term-family remains visible.
Savior
Approved rendering: Üdvözítő
Transliteration: sōtēr
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: megmentő (generic rescuer; diluted salvific force, loses parallel to üdvösség)
Original: σωτήρ
Category: Christology
NEW Critical term, absent from the baseline Romans glossary. Applied to both God the Father (1:3; 2:10; 3:4) and Jesus Christ (1:4; 2:13; 3:6). Must always be reserved exclusively for God/Christ; never diluted in salvific contexts.
Redemption
Approved rendering: megvált / megváltja
Transliteration: lytroō / lytrōsētai
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: megment/kiszabadít árfizetés nélkül (rescue/liberate without any price paid)
Original: λυτρόω / λυτρώσηται
Category: Salvation
NEW. Titus 2:14. Must retain the payment/ransom sense, echoing the Exodus-redemption pattern, and stay linked to Christ’s self-giving in the same verse.
Good Works
Approved rendering: jó cselekedetek
Transliteration: kala/agatha erga
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Rejected alternatives: cselekedetek mint az üdvösség alapja vagy eszköze (works as the ground or means of salvation)
Original: καλὰ/ἀγαθὰ ἔργα
Category: Salvation
NEW. The single most doctrinally load-bearing recurring phrase in Titus (1:16; 2:7, 10, 14; 3:1, 8, 14). Preserve Paul’s own sequence — 3:5 excludes works as basis; 2:14/3:8/3:14 present works as redeemed purpose and fruit — without harmonizing toward either the Catholic merit-cooperation or Reformed evidence-only systematic reading in the base translation.
Great God And Savior
Approved rendering: a mi nagy Istenünk és Üdvözítőnk, Jézus Krisztus
Transliteration: ho megas theos kai sōtēr hēmōn Iēsous Christos
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: a nagy Isten, és a mi Üdvözítőnk, Jézus Krisztus (splits into two referents, denying the single-referent Granville-Sharp grammar)
Original: ὁ μέγας θεὸς καὶ σωτὴρ ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦς Χριστός
Category: Christology
NEW construction. Titus 2:13; one of the most direct single-clause NT ascriptions of full deity to Christ. Must preserve the single-referent possessive grammar. MANDATORY human theologian review on every occurrence.
Washing Of Regeneration
Approved rendering: az újjászületés fürdője
Transliteration: loutron palingenesias
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Rejected alternatives: puszta metaforikus ‘megtisztulás’ konkrét, egyszeri isteni tett nélkül (purely metaphorical cleansing with no definite act), a keresztség szentségének ereje által (added sacramental-causal language not present in Paul’s wording), a keresztséggel semmilyen kapcsolatban nem álló újjászületés (added anti-sacramental denial language not present in Paul’s wording)
Original: λουτρὸν παλιγγενεσίας
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Titus 3:5. HIGHEST-PRIORITY FLAG in this Language Package — sits directly on the sharpest surviving sacramental fault line in Hungarian Christianity (Catholic ex opere operato baptismal regeneration vs. Reformed sign-and-seal monergistic regeneration). Translate the bare phrase only; carry all denominational elaboration exclusively in teaching notes. MANDATORY human theologian review, every occurrence.
Renewal Of The Spirit
Approved rendering: a Szentlélek általi megújulás
Transliteration: anakainōsis pneumatos hagiou
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Original: ἀνακαίνωσις πνεύματος ἁγίου
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Titus 3:5. Tracked as one doctrinal unit with washing_of_regeneration. Genitive rendered agentively (‘által’) so the Spirit is clearly agent/source, preserving the verse’s monergistic grammatical structure.
Elder
Approved rendering: presbiter / vén
Transliteration: presbyteros
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Original: πρεσβύτερος
Category: Church
NEW. Titus 1:5-7; used interchangeably with episkopos of the same office/persons. Track together with ‘overseer’ as a single doctrinal unit.
Overseer
Approved rendering: püspök / felügyelő
Transliteration: episkopos
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Rejected alternatives: püspök unqualified in the base text (imports Catholic diocesan/apostolic-succession hierarchy), assuming the Reformed regional-superintendent ‘püspök’ office as the sole referent
Original: ἐπίσκοπος
Category: Church
NEW. Titus 1:7. Sharpest ecclesiological fault line in this Language Package. Render ‘felügyelő’ in the base text; carry ‘püspök’ as the historic Károli-tradition gloss, with mandatory teaching note explaining Titus 1’s interchangeable use of presbyteros/episkopos for the same office. MANDATORY human theologian review, every occurrence.
Divisive Person
Approved rendering: szakadár ember
Transliteration: hairetikos anthrōpos
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Rejected alternatives: eretnek ember (heretic — imports the later technical, doctrinally-loaded sense and centuries of Hungarian Catholic-Reformed mutual heresy-accusation history)
Original: αἱρετικὸς ἄνθρωπος
Category: False Teaching
NEW. Titus 3:10. Highest anachronism risk in the letter. Render ‘szakadár’ (behavior-focused), never ‘eretnek.’ MANDATORY human theologian review, every occurrence.
Pattern Of Good Works
Approved rendering: jó cselekedetek mintája
Transliteration: typos kalōn ergōn
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Original: τύπος καλῶν ἔργων
Category: Salvation
NEW. Titus 2:7; tracked with the good_works entry as a single doctrinal unit.
High Risk Terms
Faith
Approved rendering: hit
Transliteration: pistis
Doctrine: Faith
Original: πίστις
Category: Faith
Inherited from Romans package. Occurs Titus 1:1, 4, 13; 2:2, 10; 3:8, 15. Note: 2:10’s ‘pistin agathēn’ (‘showing all good faith’) uses the same Greek word in a distinct sense — household trustworthiness/fidelity, not saving faith. Flag this distinction in teaching notes.
Sanctification
Approved rendering: megszentelődés
Transliteration: hagiasmos
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Inherited from Romans package. Extended in Titus by the sharper ‘washing of regeneration’ (3:5) sacramental fault line, which is not present in Romans’ own vocabulary. Track alongside washing_of_regeneration and renewal_of_the_spirit below.
Law
Approved rendering: törvény
Transliteration: nomos
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Inherited from Romans package. Background for Titus 3:9’s ‘machai nomikai’ (‘quarrels about the law,’ törvény felőli versengések) and 1:10’s circumcision-party controversy. The baseline’s Reformed ‘threefold use of the law’ framework remains relevant background but must not be assumed as the text’s own argument.
Glory
Approved rendering: dicsőség
Transliteration: doxa
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Original: δόξα
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package (baseline Medium risk), elevated to High in this Titus occurrence: 2:13’s ‘the appearing of the glory of the great God and Savior’ functions directly Christologically, heightening the term’s weight beyond its typical Romans usage.
Gospel
Approved rendering: evangélium
Transliteration: euangelion
Doctrine: Proclamation of the Word
Inherited from Romans package, carried here for TRANSLATOR AWARENESS ONLY. euangelion does NOT occur anywhere in Titus. The letter uses kērygma (‘hirdetés,’ proclamation, 1:3) instead. Do not substitute ‘evangélium’ for Titus’s own word choice; see the new ‘proclamation’ entry below.
Covenant
Approved rendering: szövetség
Transliteration: diathēkē
Doctrine: Hope of Eternal Life
Rejected alternatives: szövetség kizárólag jogi vagy politikai szerződésként
Inherited from Romans package, carried here for background only. diathēkē does not occur as a standalone term in Titus, but 1:2’s ‘promise’ (ígéret, epangelia) and the inheritance language of 3:7 draw on the same covenantal conceptual field.
Mercy
Approved rendering: irgalom
Transliteration: eleos
Doctrine: Mercy and Regeneration (Distinct from Grace)
Rejected alternatives: kegyelem (must not be conflated with grace; the two Greek terms are deliberately distinct in 3:5-7)
Original: ἔλεος
Category: Salvation
NEW. Titus 3:5. Distinct from charis/kegyelem — eleos emphasizes compassion toward human wretchedness/need. Keep lexically distinct from ‘kegyelem’ so Paul’s deliberate two-term sequence (mercy in 3:5, grace in 3:7) remains visible to the Hungarian reader.
Appearing
Approved rendering: megjelent / megjelenés
Transliteration: epiphainō / epephanē / epiphaneia
Doctrine: Epiphany Christology
Rejected alternatives: private mystical experience, a recurring liturgical commemoration only, with no historical referent
Original: ἐπιφαίνω / ἐπεφάνη / ἐπιφάνεια
Category: Christology
NEW. Brackets the core passage (2:11, 13; 3:4). Must be read as God’s own decisive historical action in Christ. No lexical collision with ‘Vízkereszt’ (the separate compound term for the liturgical feast of Epiphany), but real risk of theological flattening into subjective religious sentiment.
Love For Mankind
Approved rendering: emberszeretet
Transliteration: philanthrōpia
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: emberszeretet/filantrópia mint puszta humanista jótékonyság, Isten üdvözítő tette nélkül (secular humanist benevolence divorced from God’s saving action)
Original: φιλανθρωπία
Category: God
NEW. Titus 3:4. Must be anchored to God’s own saving action in Christ (3:5 follows immediately); never stand alone as a generalized humanitarian ideal.
Godliness
Approved rendering: kegyesség / kegyesen
Transliteration: eusebeia / eusebōs
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Original: εὐσέβεια / εὐσεβῶς
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Titus 1:1; 2:12. Shares the Hungarian root ‘kegy-’ with ‘kegyelem’ (grace) though the underlying Greek roots (eusebeia vs. charis) are unrelated — a purely Hungarian-specific lexical collision. Mandatory teaching note required distinguishing root/cause (kegyelem) from trained fruit (kegyesség) at every co-occurrence.
Training
Approved rendering: nevel
Transliteration: paideuō / paideuousa
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: tanít (teaches; loses the formative/disciplining nuance of paideuō)
Original: παιδεύω / παιδεύουσα
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Titus 2:12; the defining verb of this doctrine — grace itself is the acting subject. Must not be flattened into ‘teaches us that…’; keep grace as the explicit grammatical subject of the training clause.
Husband Of One Wife
Approved rendering: egy asszony férje
Transliteration: mias gynaikos anēr
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Original: μιᶰς γυναικὸς ἀνήρ
Category: Church
NEW. Titus 1:6; genuinely disputed across Christian traditions generally (not a Hungarian confessional-specific fault line). Render literally; leave interpretive range to teaching notes.
Sound Doctrine
Approved rendering: egészséges tanítás
Transliteration: didaskalia hygiainousa
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Rejected alternatives: helyes tanítás (abstract ‘correct teaching’; flattens the medical/health-and-fruit metaphor)
Original: διδασκαλία ὑγιαίνουσα
Category: Church
NEW. Titus 1:9; 2:1. Medical metaphor (hygiainō, root of ‘hygiene’) — teaching that produces spiritual health and observable good works, not correctness abstracted from life.
Foolish Controversies
Approved rendering: balga vitatkozások
Transliteration: mōrai zētēseis
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Original: μωραὶ ζητήσεις
Category: False Teaching
NEW. Titus 3:9; distinct from the commanded doctrinal correction (elegchō) commended elsewhere in the letter — teaching notes must keep these separate.
Rulers And Authorities
Approved rendering: felsőbbségek és hatalmasságok
Transliteration: archai kai exousiai
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
Original: ἀρχαὶ καὶ ἐξουσίαι
Category: Government
NEW. Titus 3:1; carries live pastoral weight given Hungary’s twentieth-century experience of coerced political submission under both fascist and communist regimes. Translate faithfully and unqualified; carry historical nuance in teaching notes only.
Medium Risk Terms
Holy
Approved rendering: szent
Transliteration: hagios
Doctrine: Sanctification
Inherited from Romans package. CAUTION: Titus’s own distinct Greek terms hosios (1:8, ‘devout’) and hagnos (2:5, ‘pure_chaste’) must NOT be rendered with this same Hungarian word; use the separate entries below to avoid collapsing three distinct Greek words into one Hungarian term.
Adoption
Approved rendering: örökbefogadás
Transliteration: huiothesia
Doctrine: Hope of Eternal Life
Inherited from Romans package. Titus does not use huiothesia directly, but 3:7’s ‘heir’ (örökös) draws on this same doctrinal field, since inheritance rights are what adoptive sonship secures.
Peace
Approved rendering: béke
Transliteration: eirēnē
Doctrine: Peace with God
Original: εἰρήνη
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Titus 1:4 epistolary greeting, ‘kegyelem és béke.‘
Church
Approved rendering: egyház
Transliteration: ekklēsia
Doctrine: Church as God’s People
Inherited from Romans package, carried here for TRANSLATOR AWARENESS ONLY. ekklēsia does NOT occur anywhere in Titus; the letter addresses church order entirely through the offices of elder/overseer and household structures. Do not introduce ‘egyház’ where the Greek text has no corresponding noun.
Sin
Approved rendering: bűn
Transliteration: hamartia
Doctrine: Universal Human Accountability
Inherited from Romans package, carried here for TRANSLATOR AWARENESS ONLY. hamartia does NOT occur as a noun anywhere in Titus. The letter names the pre-conversion problem instead as anomia (‘lawlessness,’ törvényszegés, 2:14) and epithymiai (‘passions/desires,’ kívánságok, 2:12; 3:3). Do not substitute ‘bűn’ where Titus uses these specific terms.
Heir
Approved rendering: örökös
Transliteration: klēronomos
Doctrine: Hope of Eternal Life
Original: κληρονόμος
Category: Salvation
NEW. Titus 3:7. Connects conceptually to the baseline adoption doctrine.
Hope
Approved rendering: reménység
Transliteration: elpis
Doctrine: Hope of Eternal Life
Rejected alternatives: vague, object-less optimistic wish
Original: ἐλπίς
Category: Salvation
NEW. Titus 1:2; 2:13; 3:7. Must retain the confident, object-anchored sense (Christ’s return, the inheritance of eternal life); avoid the secondary secular Hungarian sense of vague optimism.
Eternal Life
Approved rendering: örök élet
Transliteration: zōē aiōnios
Doctrine: Hope of Eternal Life
Original: ζωὴ αἰώνιος
Category: Salvation
NEW. Titus 1:2; 3:7.
Kindness

Transliteration: chrēstotēs
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Original: χρηστότης
Category: God
NEW. Titus 3:4, same root family as Romans 2:4 and 11:22.
God Who Cannot Lie
Approved rendering: a nem hazug Isten
Transliteration: ho apseudēs theos
Doctrine: Hope of Eternal Life
Original: ὁ ἀψευδὴς θεός
Category: God
NEW. Titus 1:2; grounds the reliability of the promise of eternal life.
Poured Out
Approved rendering: kitöltötte
Transliteration: execheen
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Original: ἐξέχεεν
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Titus 3:6; echoes Joel 2:28/Acts 2:17’s Pentecostal outpouring. A cross-reference note to Acts 2 is recommended.
Ungodliness
Approved rendering: istentelenség
Transliteration: asebeia
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Original: ἀσέβεια
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Titus 2:12, negation of eusebeia.
Worldly Desires
Approved rendering: világi kívánságok / kívánságok
Transliteration: kosmikai epithymiai / epithymiai
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: bűn (do not substitute the baseline ‘sin’ noun)
Original: κοσμικαὶ ἐπιθυμίαι / ἐπιθυμίαι
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Titus 2:12; 3:3. One of two nouns (with anomia) Titus uses instead of hamartia to name the pre-conversion problem.
Self Controlled
Approved rendering: megfontolt / mértékletesen
Transliteration: sōphrōn / sōphronōs
Doctrine: Christian Character and Virtue
Original: σώφρων / σωφρόνως
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Recurring key term across the letter (1:8; 2:2, 5, 12).
Devout
Approved rendering: szentéletű / kegyes
Transliteration: hosios
Doctrine: Christian Character and Virtue
Rejected alternatives: szent (the baseline hagios rendering; must not collapse this distinct Greek word into the baseline holiness term)
Original: ὅσιος
Category: Church
NEW. Titus 1:8; a distinct Greek word from hagios, emphasizing personal devotion toward God.
Pure Chaste
Approved rendering: tiszta / erényes
Transliteration: hagnos
Doctrine: Household Ethics and Witness
Rejected alternatives: szent (the baseline hagios rendering)
Original: ἁγνός
Category: Church
NEW. Titus 2:5; distinct from hagios and from katharos.
Lawlessness
Approved rendering: törvényszegés
Transliteration: anomia

Transliteration: hoi ek peritomēs
Doctrine: False Teachers and Sound Speech
Original: οἱ ἐκ περιτομῆς
Category: False Teaching
NEW. Titus 1:10; a specific first-century Judaizing faction, not a general statement about Judaism as such.
Jewish Myths Commandments Of Men
Approved rendering: zsidó mendemondák, emberi parancsolatok
Transliteration: Ioudaikoi mythoi, entolai anthrōpōn
Doctrine: False Teachers and Sound Speech
Original: Ἰουδαϊκοὶ μῦθοι, ἐντολαὶ ἀνθρώπων
Category: False Teaching
NEW. Titus 1:14; requires OT/Galatians background note so the historical referent stays clear and is never generalized into a statement about Jewish people or Judaism as such.
Rebuke
Approved rendering: megfeddeni
Transliteration: elegchō
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Original: ἐλέγχω
Category: False Teaching
NEW. Titus 1:9, 13; 2:15; 3:11. Same verb throughout for the duty toward false teachers and divisive persons; distinguish from the condemned ‘foolish controversies’ of 3:9.
Deny
Approved rendering: megtagad
Transliteration: arneomai
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Original: ἀρνέομαι
Category: False Teaching
NEW. Titus 1:16; false teachers ‘profess to know God but deny him by their works’ — an ironic inversion of 2:12’s ‘having renounced [ungodliness].’
Submit
Approved rendering: alávetni magukat / engedelmeskedni
Transliteration: hypotassomai
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
Original: ὑποτάσσομαι
Category: Government
NEW. Used across three relational domains in Titus — state authority (3:1), marriage (2:5), bondservice (2:9). Use one consistent verb root across all three occurrences so the thematic link remains visible; teaching note to clarify the nature and limits of submission differ by context.
Bondservant
Approved rendering: szolga
Transliteration: doulos
Doctrine: Household Ethics and Witness
Original: δοῦλος
Category: Government
NEW. Titus 2:9; requires historical/pastoral note distinguishing the first-century Greco-Roman institution from later chattel slavery and from Hungarian serfdom (jobbágyság).

Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Original: δουλεύοντες ἐπιθυμίαις καὶ ἡδοναῖς ποικίλαις

Proclamation
Approved rendering: hirdetés
Transliteration: kērygma
Doctrine: Proclamation of the Word
Rejected alternatives: evangélium (Titus’s own word choice, kērygma, differs from the baseline Romans term; do not harmonize)
Original: κήρυγμα

Promise

Original: ἐπαγγελία
Category: Covenant

Doctrine: Proclamation of the Word
Original: φανερόω / ἐφανέρωσεν

Category: Church
NEW. Titus 1:8; shares the Hungarian root ‘igaz-’ with baseline ‘igazság/megigazulás’ but describes personal ethical character here, not forensic standing — teaching note required to distinguish the two senses.
